Aspidiotus hederae Vallot. 



This species was recorded by Geo. B. King (Psyche, viii, p. 350,

 regarded as identical with A. nerii. (See above, p. 810, fig. 184, e.)

This was found with the preceding, by Mr. King. 



3Igtilaspis Floridensis.

 by Mr. L. O. Howard.) 



Introduction of Scale-eating Coccinellids. (See p. 805.) 



Mr. Geo. A. Bishop writes that he has already experimented in 

 this way, by introducing Vedalia cardinalis, Novius belkis, A 7 ". 

 Koebelei, Rhizobius ventralis, and others. But whether with suc- 

 cess is yet uncertain. 



Yellow-fever Mosquito. (Stegomyia fasciata.)
