27. CJtionaspis hraziliensis. — On an orchid (Hart). These have the 

 female scales much paler than those from Ceylon. 



29. Cliionaspis citri. — Very abundant on limes (Hart). 



30. Chionasjns hiclavis. — On some thorny plant. (Hart). New to 

 the West Indies. 



31. Aulacaspis hoisduvalii. (syn. tentaculatus, Morg). On Latania 

 commersoni. (Hart). 



32. Pinnaspis pandani. — On Pandanus, Areca catechu (with parasitic 

 fungus), and Pinanga Kulilii. (Hart). Abvmdant. 



32a. Pinnasjns pandani var. alhiis.— On Latania commersoni. (Hart). 

 This may be a distinct species ; it is known by its white scale and less- 

 developed median lobes. 



33. Mytilaspis citricola. — Plenty on orange. (Hart). 



34. Isclmaspis filiformis. — With Pinnaspis pandani on Monstera. 

 (Lunt). 



36a. Aspidiotus Jiartii var. nov. luntii Scale as in saccliari and hartii, 

 all three of them have a curious pale pinkish-brown tinge. Females, 

 although mature and containing embryos, showing no groups of ventral 

 glands. Anal orifice transversely broad-ovals, a considerable distance from 

 hind end. Median lobes large, rather close but not touching, rounded, sub- 

 truncate, entire ; second lobes considerably smaller, entire. Spine-like 

 plates, a little branched, between the lobes. Beyond second lobe is, first of 

 all, touching it, a short tubercle, which maj' represent part of the lobe ; 

 then two rather pointed tubercles, of which the second is the larger and 

 looks like a rudimentary third lobe ; between this latter and the second lobe 

 are three branched plates ; then comes a long spine-like plate, then a spine, 

 then a group of four long spine-like plates, then an interval, then a rather 

 short spine-hke plate ; beyond that the margin is crenate. 



On stems of some plant, collected by Mr. Lunt, August, 1895. This 

 may be separated from typical hartii and sacchari thus : — 



A. Median lobes deeply notched ... ... ... sacchari. 



B. Median lobes nearly or quite entire. Groups of ventral 



[glands present ... Jiartii. 

 Groups of ventral glands absent ... ... Luntii. 



37. Aspidiotus didyosperyni. — On Areca catechu. (Hart). 



40. Aspidiotus articulatus. — Plenty on leaves of lime at the Railway 

 Station, with Mytilaspis citricola. (Hart). 



I have asked J\lr. Hart to kindly append such further particulars regard- 

 ing precise localities, abundance and destructiveness, &c., as may be known 

 to him, in a separate article below.
