 D. W. Coquillett, he says: "Among all the descriptions of the 

 species of Lecaiiinui, to which I have access, none agree so well 

 with the present species as does Dr. Fitch's description of his 

 L. carycc ; but Prof. Riley has compared specimens and finds 

 carycg to be much larger."

 tion of L. caryff.

Notes on Aleurodidae. 

 BY H. O. WOOIAVOKTH, Champaign, 111. 



Tlie appearance last July of Bulletin No. S, Technical Series, 

 Div. of Ent., U. S. Dept. of Agric., by Prof. A. L,. Quaintance, 

 entitled : " Contributions Toward a Monograph of the Ameri- 

 can Aletirodidie," brought to the writer's attention this much 

 neglected family. 



In Illinois there were reported by that paper only three spe- 

 cies upon as many hosts. Therefore the writer decided to us</ 

 his spare time in the study of the local specie-^ and such others 

 as he might collect elsuwhrre. As a result, in the la.xt few 

 months, specimens from about one hundred kinds of plants 

 were collected, of which at least three-fifths are new to the 

 monographic list. From sonu es of ] hints as many a> live 



kin^s of Aieurodids were found.
