Aspidiotus denticidatiis, Targioui-Tozzetti, occurs on Jtuhia, but there seems to be 

 some confusiou as to whether the plant is B. pm-egrina or K. tincfonim. 



On Asperiila cynanchica, Linnaeus, is found Leranopsis rhizophila, Targioni-Tozzetti 

 Maskell (^Scale Ins. N. Z.. p. Ill) records Leeanitim maculatum, Signoret, from " 7>a- 

 i'rt?'(?ja," meaning, I suppose, Bonrardia.

 from tSter'm. From Uupatorium are recorded Ceroplastes cirripediformis, 

 Comstock, Orthezia americana, Walker, aud 0. imignis, Douglas; the 

 first two by Comstock, the other by Lounsbury. 



Lecanium assimile, Newstead, was found, exogenetically, upon Grin- 

 delki. On Bigeloma in Colorado is found Pulrlnaria bigelovim, 

 Cockerell;' this same Fulvinarin was also sent to me by'Doctor C. V. 

 Eiley, labeled as from Bigeloviam Los Angeles, California, (Div. Ent., 

 4757). Coquillett reports Aspidiotn.s aurantii^ Maskell, exogeDetically 

 on Solidago calif ornica. Orthezia americana., Walker, and leery a pur- 

 ehasi^ Maskell, have occurred on Solidago, the former doubtless normally, 

 the latter accidentally. 



Two species of Olearia have furnished coccids: Briochitoii Mspidus, 

 Maskell, was found on the I^ew Zealand 0. haastii, J. D. Hooker; Tach- 

 ardia melaleiicw, Maskell, on 0. axillaris (syn. Aster axillaris). Bhizo- 

 eoccus celmisiw, Maskell, was found on Celmisia.' 



On Baccharis viininalis (rect. viininea, De Caiidolle) Coquillett found 

 Lecanium oleic, Bernard. In Brazil, Ceroplastes alholineatus, Cockerell, 

 and Lecanium baccharidis are found on Baccharis. The unrecognized 

 Coccus capensis was found on Metalasia muricata (syn. GnaphaUum muri- 

 catum). Lecanium cassinia', Maskell, a species formerly confounded with 

 L. olece, is found on the New Zealand Cassinia leptophylla. On Partlienium 

 ificanum in New Mexico there occur Lecaniodiaspis yiicccv, Towusend, 

 and Tachardia cornuta, Cockerell.^ Lcerya purcJiasi, Maskell, has been 

 noticed by Coquillett exogenetically upon Xantliium. Maskell found 

 Dactylopius affinis, Maskell, on tubers of Dahlia.* 



Coquillett records Asjfidiotus aurantii, Maskell, from Bidens. The 

 cultivated Chrysanthemum is quite badly infested at times by Lecanium 

 hemisphwricum, Targioni-Tozzetti and Orthezia insignis, Douglas."^ Cero-
