mall, is, in the West ludies, quite liable to be infested by Icerija ro.s<v, 

 Eiley and Howard. 



Prosopisjullflora is infested, in Jamaica, by Icerya ro.sa; Riley and 

 Howard, and nacfi/lopius virgatus, Cockerell. Its variety glandulosa 

 produces, in Arizona, AspiMoUiH prosopidu, Cockerell, Lecanium mira- 

 Z^//<', Cockerell, and Lecaniodiaspis {Frosopophora) prosojndis, Masked. 

 The same, in the Mesilla Valley of New Mexico, nourishes Icerya rilcyi, 

 Cockerell. The curious Lecanium ■mirabUe, Cockerell, was supposed to 

 be confined to Arizona, but on October 12, 1895, Professor C. H. T. 

 Townsend found it on mesquite in Tularosa, New Mexico, where it is 

 much attacked by a lepidopterous larva. Coquillett records Icerya pur- 

 chasi, Maskell, from Frosoins, thus making the third Icerya found on this 

 o-enus. Tacliardla lacca, Kerr, is found on the Indian ProHopis ,-nncigera, 

 Linnieus, and also on Dichrostachys cinerea, Wight and Arnot. The 

 latter plant should, by the rule of priority, be called CaUliea cinerea, 

 the genus Gailliea having one year priority, according to the dates 

 given in Index Kewensis. There appears, liowever, to be some confu- 

 sion, as Dichrostachys is in oue place credited to Wight and Arnot, 

 1834, in another to De Caudolle. 



Tochardia lacca, Kerr, according to Signoret, occurs on Mimosa 

 cinerea, and 3L corinda. The former of these is a Brazilian species. 

 The latter name is probably incorrect, as it is not in the Index Kewensis. 

 In Mexico, Lecanium imbricatuin, Cockerell, is found on Mimosa.
