COCClT>M OF JAPAN (III). FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL 



LIST OF JAPANESE COCCID^, OR SCALE 



INSECTS, WITH DESCRIPTION OF 



EIGHT NEW SPECIES.

(With Plates VII-IX.) 



In the present paper are listed 18 species of Coccidse, or scale 

 insects, from Japan, which were collected by the writer and others, 

 and studied by the writer since his last paper on " Coccidae of Japan " 

 {Bull, of Imp. Agr. Exp. Sta., Vol. I, No. 2). Eight of these species 

 are new to science, two species are new to Japan, while the remain- 

 ing species have been previously recorded from Japan by various 

 writers, although this is the first time they were actually found by 

 the writer in his native country.

 use to within the last few years. A number of very radical changes 

 in the nomenclature have been put forward, but I prefer to retain for 

 the present the well-known names with which we have become 

 familiarized. 



The writer's thanks are due to Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, for 

 kindly reviewing his manuscript and specimens.

 Taihoku City. The host plants known in Formosa are as follows :
