EPACRIDE.^. 



Asterolecaninm fityphrlicv, Maskell, is recorded by Maskell from Sty- 

 phelia richei^ and Monotoca elJiptica.^ On the Australian Gyathodes 

 acerosa are found FoJiasjji.s media and Uriococcus ninltispinus.^ On 

 Leucopogon fraseri, A. Cunningbani, also a native of Australia, are 

 FoJiasjris media, Maskell, and Aster oJecaninm epacridis, Maskell.' On 

 Epacris lonyifolia is Uriococcus multispinus, Maskell, var. Jccvigatns.* Is 

 it not probable that the species found by Maskell on Australian Epacri- 

 dcie in New Zealand are really natives of Australia^ If so, one or two 

 apparent anomalies are removed. 



PLUMBAGINE^^. 



At roots of Statice armeria [Armeria vulgaris) IS^ewstead found his 

 Dactylopius radicumJ' Coccus halophUus, Hardy, had much earlier been 

 reported from the same plant. Iceryapurchasi, Maskell, and Ceroplastes 

 plumhaginis, Cockerell, have been found on Flumhago. 



MYRSINE^^. 



Aspidiotus myrsince was found on Myrsine a/ricana, Linnaeus (syn. 

 retiisa). Vinsonia stellifera, Westwood, is recorded from Ardisia poly- 

 cephala.^

 longispimiSj Targioni-Tozzetti (syn. longijilis), Ceroplastes floridensis, 

 Comstock, Lecanium olew, Bernard, Fulvinaria cupania', Cockerell, 

 Aspidiotus articulatus, Morgan, and A. personatus, Comstock.'' Com- 

 stock has reported CMonaspis hiclavis, Comstock, from Achras sapota ;
