November, 1897.1 241 



A.ipid. destructor, Signoret (K. 1304.) : on Pandaniis, Formosa. 



Aspid. fic-us, Riley (K. 1514) : on Machilus Thunbergii and Quercus cuspidata, 

 Japan ; on (?), Formosa. 



Aspid. implicatus, sp. nov. (K. 1498) ; on Campanula (?), Formosa, the plant- 

 name is indistinct. Very minute ; pnpariura wjiite, circular, convex ; pellicles in- 

 conspicuous ; entangled amongst the hairs of the plant. The spinnerets variable ; 

 in some specimens wanting, in others only five, in three groups. 



Aspid. longispina, Morgan (K. no number) : on " Kukui," Sandwich Islands. 



Aspid secretus, Cockerell, var. lobulata, var. nov. (K. 1513) : on Bamhusa, Japan, 

 In this variety there is a small lobe on each side of the terminal median lobe. 



AoNlDiA elceagnus, sp. nov. (K. no number) : on Elceagnus macrophylla, Japan. 

 The puparium is very small, reddish-brown, very slightly convex ; pellicle yellow. 

 The abdomen ends in very irregular projections, something like those of A.corniger, 

 Green, but less conspicuous. 



DiASPiS amygdaU, Tryon (K. 1127, 1220, 1221, 1410) : on Rhus and Burdock, 

 Hong Kong ; on Ori.va japonica,3a.'pB,r[; on Oleander, Amo'^ ; on Loranthus, Cejlon. 

 The pellicles in many of these specimens are very dark red, and I am inclined to 

 make them var. rubra ; others are more like a form which Mr. Green originally 

 named geranii, afterwards merged in the type. 



Diasp. roscB (Sandberg), Signoret (K. 1265, 1477, 1480, 1502, 1524, 1537, 1540) : 

 on Elceagniis macrophylla and Trachelospermum jasininioide, Japan ; on Ailanthns 

 glandulosus, Swatow ; on Cycas and Cinnamomum, Hong Kong ; on Myrtus, China ; 

 and on Actinodaphne, Hong Kong. 



Diasp. rosce, Sandberg, var. spinosa, var. nov. (K. 1545) : on Smilax, Japan. 

 Differs from type in the browner colour of the adult female and in the more nume- 

 rous spines on the abdomen. The pellicles are yellow. I do not at present think 

 that this is the same as Diasp. fagrcecB, Green, an insect in Ceylon. 



Paklatoeia proteas, Curtis (K. 509, 1130, 1514, and two without a number) : 

 on Citrus, Canton ; on Myrtus, Macao ; on Citrus and Camellia, Formosa ; on 

 Camellia and Machilus, Japan. 



Pari, proteus, Curtis, var. virescens, Maskell, 1896 (K. 1255, 1272, 1429) : on 

 Rose, Japan ; on " liliaceous plant," Formosa ; on Pyrm sinensis, Hong Kong. 



Pari, sinensis, sp. nov. (K. 1571) : on Orange, Hong Kong. Puparia completely 

 encrusting the twigs and massed together. Abdomen of female exhibiting the 

 generic fimbriated hairs, but these are very much less numerous than in any re- 

 ported species. 



Pari, zizyphi, Lucas (K. no number) : on Citrus and Psidium, Formosa. 



Mttilaspis citricola, Packard (K. 1202, 1535, 1548) : on Taxus cuspidata and 

 probably on Quercus, Japan ; on an unnamed plant {Citrus ?), Amoy. 



Mytil. pallida, Green (K. 1516) : on Willow, Japan. Probably a var. of M. 

 citricola. 



Mytil. Crawii, Cockerell (K. 1515) : on Quercus, Japan. 



Mytil. Crawii, Cockerell, var. canaliculata, Maskell, 1896 (K. 1229) : on Quercus, 

 Japan. A form differing only very slightly from M. Crawii is on Machilus Thun- 

 bergii, 3&^B,n (K. 1514).
