list, being at present nameless. Prof. C. H, T. Townsend has given an. 

 account of it in Bull. 7 of the New Mexico Exper. Station, and it will be 

 described in detail and named at some future time by Prof. Riley. 



The adult $ has a large white ovisac, and 9-jointed antenna. The 

 young (2nd stage) are so much like Icerya paimc7-i that I thought they 

 might be that species ; but Prof. Riley pointed out to me that the newly- 

 hatched larviE could be distinguished from I. palmer i without any difficulty, 

 since they possess only four (instead of six) especially long terminal hairs, 

 and these are not so long as m palmer i. 



On July 21 I was fortunate in finding the $ . Its body is dark dull 

 red, antennae and legs black. The wings are smoky with a dark costa 

 and two white lines. There are no conspicuous caudal appendages, but 

 two black bristles of only moderate length. Dorsum of thorax more or 

 less shiny black. 



(2.) It seems doubtful whether Dactylopiiis adonidicm^ as defined by 

 Signoret, can be definitely recorded from North America. 



(3.) Dactylopius icery aides, Ctenochiton perforatus, etc., are men- 

 tioned in Insect Life, April, 1893, p. 281-2, as having been imported into 

 California. I suppose, however, that they have not become established 

 there, and so have marked them with a query in the list. The species 

 referred to are Nos. 13, 41, 69, 70. Others mentioned in the same article 

 are well-known to be established in America. 



(4.) Bergrothia takes the place of Westivoodia (preoccupied). A 

 second species is known to occur in North America, but it has not been 

 named. 



(5.) Nos. 14, 16, 26, 38, 67, 72 van, and 100 var. have not been pub- 

 lished at the date of writing, but their descriptions have been sent out 

 for publication. 



(6.) Phenacoccus takes the place oi Pseudococcus, Auctt, nee Westwood. 



(7.) Coccus confusus (which probably includes all reputed C. cacti oi 

 the Rocky Mtn. Region) is congeneric with an insect from Mexico, which 

 Lichtenstein identified as Acafithococcus tomentosus (Lam.). The larva 

 has spines after the manner of Capulinia sallei ; the antennae of the 

 adult $ are very degenerate, 5-jointed. Hab., Las Oruces, N. Mex., 

 on cacti. 



(8.) C. trifolli and sorghielhis. — I know these only from Prof Gar- 

 man's account in 2nd Kentucky Report. One can safely say that they
