734 THE FOOD PLANTS OF SCALE INSECTS— COCEEEELL. vouxix. 



AsjiidiotKs r<ijKi.x\ Coiiistock. In Europe, AspidiotuH Jiederw, Yallot, 

 is recorded Irom holly. The American ink berry or gall berry [flex 

 glabra (Liuna'iis), Gray) is a plant of the same jjeuus as the holly, but 

 its berries are black instead of red. It has been found supporting 

 Ceroplasics jUyruUnsis, Conistock, and Khizovocciis qnercuSj more 

 properly Uriococcus quercus, Oomstoek. 



CELASTRINE.^. 



One genus of this large order, Euonymua, has often been noticed as 

 infested by coccids. The European E. latifoUus is affected by (Jhio- 

 naspis cKoiii/mi, Conistock, while IJ. japonicus, a native of China and 

 Japan, has been found to support the doubtless exogenetic Aspidiotus 

 rapax, Conistock. Maskell records a case of Dia.spis ,^antuli, Maskell, 

 usurping the place of A. rapax, Conistock, on EuonymuH. From culti- 

 vated species of the genus, not specifically identified, Cotpiillett reports 

 Lfcanium ole<v, liernard, and />. hcspcridum, Liuiueus. Kiley records 

 Fulcinaria innitmcrabili-s, Ifathvon, and 1 have cited a Ptdriuaria 

 believed to be a variety of P. .simidans, Cockerell.' There is, besides, 

 a Fnivinaria cuoni/mi, Goureau, in Euio[)e. 



Cela.stnis ceriferus is known as a food plant of Ceroplastcs ceri/enDi, 

 Anderson. This plant is not in the Index Keweusis, and the specific 

 name, cited by Siguoret, is doubtless eiroueous.'^ 



RHAMNE^^. 



Two species of Zizyphus, in India, afibrd Tachardia lacca, Kerr. 

 Parlntoria ziz>jphi(s, Lucas, was described from Z. pinnachristi (rect. 

 spinachrisli f ). The Californian L'lianDius croeeiis is infested, according 

 to Co(iuillett, by Lecanium olecv, Bernard, L. hesperidniu, Linuams, and 

 Aspidiotus raiHix, Comstock. Rhamnm alaternus of the Mediterranean 

 region supports Dactylopins (dafcrni, Siguoret. Siguoret reports 

 Tachardia lacca, Kerr, from Rhamaus jujaba, but the plant intended 

 is doubtless Zizyphus jujiiba. Mr. Broadway found AsU-rolecaninm 

 ptistulam, Cockerell, injuring Z. jujuba in Grenada. Coquillett 

 records Lecanium hibcnuicidorum, Boisduval, from the Californian 

 Geanot litis di>:aricatus, Xuttall. 



AMPELIDACE^E. 



Riley records Pidriitaria innuiiicrabdis, llnthvou, fvom the (Miltivated 

 Ampelopsis rcitchii, the more correct name of which is \'itis iiiconstans. 

 The Coccidiii of the grapevine are as follows : 



(1) Marfiarodea ritis {inthim, Glatd). In Chile. 



(2) Dactijlopius vitis, Nicdielski. In Euroi>e, and ;i species, perhaps the same, in 



Cliik^
