Some Coccidae Found on Orchids (Horn.). 



The following Diaspine Coccidae, found on greenhouse orchids, are of 

 interest on account of the locality and, excepting the first, new host- 

 plant record^. 

 Aonidia pseudaspidiotus (Lindinger).

 p. l.U.

This species appears to be closely related to .-lunidin ov>n</,;,',i Green 

 ( I. cl'cn'i "Green," I.eonardi), and in spite of its great resemblance to 

 such species as I'tirliitoritt pcrinindci. I think it is properly an .l,iidia.
