sed similis. Testa orbiculata, planiuscula, atro-purpurasceus, 

 centro f. vertice tuberculo rotundo rubro quod in senescentibus 

 aperitur." This seems to me to apply excellently to one thing, 

 and one only, viz., C hrymmp halus ficiis Ashm. Signoret naturally 

 could not recognize the species, because he did not have it. It 

 seems probable that the insect is after all a native of A.sia, with 

 C. dictyosperini ; while the group of C. persece, etc., is truly 

 neotropical. 

 Chrysomphalus rossi Maskell. 



Manila, Philippine Is., on an orchid, quarantined by Mr. A. 

 Craw at San Francisco. The material was very scanty, but was 

 examined by ]Mr. Marlatt and the writer, and identified as rossi. 

 This is the first coccid record from the Philippines. 



Aspidiotus acuminatus Targ.-Tozz. 



This species Avas omitted from my Check List. It is a species of 

 Hemibeilesia, and, so far as I can see, identical with A. rcqxix 

 Comst. 



Aspidiotus euonymi Targ.-Tozz. 



This is also an Hemlber/esia, and has been referred to A. rapax. 

 It is, however, one of the A. cydonke group, having four groups 

 of circumgenital glands. 

 Aspidiotus saccharicaulis Zehntner. 



This is an Odonuspix, and hardly more than a variety of A. 

 secrelm. The following table will separate the three races of 

 secretus : 



(1) Two groups of circumgenital glands, not connected above by 

 a line of glands. . . A. secretus var. from Ceylon (Green). 



(2) Groups of circumgenital glands connected above by a line of 



glands A. secretm Ckll., type from Japan. 



(3) Groups of circumgenital glands connected above by a median 



group which is three deep in the middle. 



A. secretus race saccharicaulis (Zehnt. ). 



A new locality for A. secretus is Honolulu, Hawaii, on bamboo, 

 1899 (Geo. Comp , in coll. Div. Ent. Dept. Agric). 

 Mytilaspis abietis Sign. 



Signoret, in Bull. Soc. Ent. France, 1882, p. clxxxiv, admits 

 that his " 3fytilasjns abietis Schr." is not Schrank's insect, the
