 Maskell, from Bosmarimis and also from Nepeta.

CHENOPODIACE^^. 



OllifF reports his Pulvinaria masTcelli from Rhagodia hastata? Orthezia 

 ann(€, Cockerell, is recorded from Chenopodiiim.* Signoretia atripUcis of 

 Maskell ^ was from an Atriplex, perhaps A. halimus, Linuteus. It after- 

 wards proved that this insect was not a Signoretia, but a Pulvinaria, 

 being in fact identical with P. maskelli, Olliff. Ollitt' has recorded 

 P. masl-elli, Olliff, from J., vesicaria, Hew, and A. nummularia, Lindley.** 

 The following six species are found on Atriplex canescens in New Mexico : 



1. liactylopius solani var. atriplicis, Cock- 4. LecanioiUaspis yuco(v var. riifescens. 



erell. 5. Ceroplastes irregularis.

3. MytiJaspis alhus, Cockerell, var. con- 



color, Cockerell.
