LEGUMINOS.^. 



PoUaspis exocarpi, Maskell, occurs on Oxylohium triloJmtum? Da riesia 

 is a large Australian genus; on />. corymhosa are found Chionaspis nitida, 

 Maskell, and Fulv'maria tecta, Maskell. Dillirynia has about a dozen 

 species, exclusively Australian; on 1>. Jumperina, Loddiges, occurs 

 Lecanium pingue, Maskell; on an undeterniined species, PoUaspis exo- 

 carpi, Maskell. Bossiwa is another Australian genus; Maskell cites 

 Aspidiotus hossiecc, Maskell (should be hossiwa'), from B. procumhens. 

 The specific name of this plant is not in the Index Kewensis.

 otus genista', Siguoret, on Gytisus scoparins (syn. Genista, scoparia). 

 I^ewstead' records Mytilaspis pomorum, Buuclu', on Cytisus scoparins in

 Guernsey, as reported by Mr. Luft". Maskell records Lcerya purchasi, 

 Maskell, exogenetically upon gorse, Ufex. Eriococcus insignis, ISTew- 

 stead, is found on Ulex? Douglas has described a Mytilaspis ulicis, but 

 it is apparently a variety of M. pomorum . 



Aspidiotus nerii, Bouche, was noticed by Comstock exogenetically 

 upon clover, Trifolium. There are two clover mealy bugs, Dactylopius 

 arecw, Maskell, and L). trifolU, Forbes, both at roots of red clover,
