do not belong to Coccus, as now understood ; and until they are more 

 critically examined it will be hard to guess at their proper location, 



(9.) Orthezia insignis has been found by Mr. R. H. Pettit in a hot- 

 house in the State of New York. 



(10.) Nos. 32, 66, 52 syn., and 90 are credited to Riley MS. The 

 names have all been published (two by Prof. Townsend, two by Mr. 

 Howard), but no formal descriptions have appeared. 



(11.) Pulvinaria vitis probably occurs with us, but it requires confir- 

 mation. It is recorded by Fitch. 



(12.) P. camellicola I have from Macon, Ga., sent by Dr. Riley. 



(13.) LecaJiium armeniacufu \s du CdiY\(on\\?^\\ species; to judge from 

 published figures, much like depression. 



(14.) Lecanium pyri is recorded by Fitch. He confused some 

 Pulvinaria with it, but there is no such species as Pulvinaria pyri. 

 Fitch, properly speaking. Mr, J. Fletcher has sent me a Lecanium on 

 apple, from P. Edward I. : the specimen arrived squashed flat, but on 

 careful examination I cannot see that it is other than veritable L. pyri, 

 Schr. It is strongly and thickly pitted, like the form found by Signoret 



on apple 



(15.) Aspidiotus ^/^/>/(?/^^.y will be described by Mr. Pettit. He has 

 kindly sent me specimens. 



(16.) Aspidiotus spinosus and one or two other species are marked as 

 introduced, because only found on hot-house plants, although their native 

 country is unknown. 



(17.) Aspidiotus Juglans-regicP; from its mode of occurrence, might be 

 suspected as a foreigner ; and it is to be observed that in the same year 

 that it was published, Colve'e described an A, juglandis from Catalonia. 

 Dr. J. V. Carus has most kindly transcribed for me the description of the 

 latter, and I find it very nearly fits Julans-regice, — so nearly, that the 

 differences in the descriptions may not be essential. 



(18.) Parlatoria zizyphus I have found on lemons exposed for sale at 

 Las Cruces, N. Mex. The vendor told me he thought they came from 

 Mexico, but was not sure, 



{19.) It has seemed strange that Ischnaspis filiformis was not de- 

 scribed until 1887. Dr. V. Carus has kindly transcribed for me the 

 description of Mytilaspis longirostris,^\gn., 1882, and on reading it, I can 

 hardly believe it is other than /. filiformis. 



(20.) Leachia simplex was described as a MoJiophlebus. Mr. Scudder
