The Coccidae of Ohio. 

 BY GEORGE B. KING, Lawrence, Mass. 



In Bulletin No. 37, New Series, U. S. Department of Agri- 

 culture, Division of Entomology, 1902, pp. 109-113, will be 

 found a partial list of the Coccidse of Ohio, by F. M. Webster 

 and A. F. Burgess. 



The authors of the list give Prof. Cockerell and myself due 

 credit for the identification of the larger portion of the Coccids 

 listed. The list, however, by some means, is awfully mixed 

 and misleading ; so much so, that Prof. Cockerell wishes me 

 to publish a revised list, and sent me a box of scales, which he 

 had received from Prof. J. G. Sanders, collected in Ohio by 

 him. These have been identified as follows : 



Eulecanium quercitronis Fitch on Ouercns alba at Catawba, 

 O., July 29, 1902. The locality and scale are new to the Ohio 

 list. 



Eulecanium fletcheri Ckll. on cedar at Catawba, I. S. O., 

 July 29, 1902. A new locality. 



Aspidiotus ancylus Putn. on Tilia amcricana at Cleveland, 

 O., Aug. 25, 1902. A new food plant for the Ohio list. 



Aspidiotus perniciosus Comst. kilmarneck willow (Salix 

 caprce var. pcndea ) at Pinesville, O., July 19, 1902. 



Aspidiotus ostreczformis Curtis on willow, Pomesville, O., 

 July 19, 1902. A new locality and food plant for Ohio list. 



Chionaspis furfurus Fitch on Hicoria alba at Catawba, I. S. 

 O., July 25, 1902. A new food plant and locality for Ohio list. 



Chionaspis lurtneri Comst. on Cornus florida ? Sandusky, O., 

 August, 1902. Coll. of H. Osborn. New to the Ohio list. 



Mytilaspis ulini L,. on Populus dcltoides, Pinesville, O., July 

 2, 1902. A new locality. 



The following are the leading errors in the Ohio list : No. 4 

 (following the published list) Phenococcus accris Sign. This 

 species has never been found in North America. A species 

 allied to it has been described in Can. Ent., August 1902, p. 

 211, as Phcnacoccns accricola King. 



Pseudococcus longisphnis Targ. No. 5, Pseudococcus (Dactv- 

 lopius} citri Risso not of Boisduval.
