close to junction of a leaf with its stalk ; very small, whitish. Second pellicle very 

 thin, hard and brittle, almost enclosing the adult. Adult extremely small, yellow, 

 ending with a very irregular spiniferous margin and almost obsolete lobes. The 

 larva bears some short conical spines on the cephalic margin, like spikes. 



Ceeonema japonicum, sp. nov. (K. 1476, 1478) : on Ilex crenata, Japan. The 

 general characters are Lecanid, but the conical spinnerets which produce the 

 characteristic curling white waxy secretion are not submarginal (as in the type 

 species C. banksice in Australia), but are arranged longitudinally on the median 

 dorsal region ; consequently the secretion curls outwards towards the margin instead 

 of inwards as in C. banksice. 



Lecanium coffecB, Walker (K. 1224) : on Gardenia florida, Formosa. 



Lee. ficus, sp. nov. (K. 1349) : on Ficus, Swatow. Adult female yellowish- 

 brown or brown, elliptical, rather convex. Antennae of eight joints. Epidermis 

 with some oval spots. This form is allied to L. anthurii, Boisduval, and to L. mini- 

 mum, Newstead, but differs suiBciently. As regards L. terminalicB, Cockerell, I find 

 no mention of the antennae. 



Lee. geometricum, Green (K. 1434) : on Laurus canariensis. Hong Kong. 



Lee. globulosum, sp. nov. (K. 1541) : on Stillingia sehifera, Hong Kong. Adult 

 female sub-globular, brownish-yellow or yellow. Antennae short, of seven joints ; 

 feet slender and short. The distinctly Lecanid characters of the larva separate this 

 from Kermes. 



Lee. hesperidum, Linn. (K. 1560) : on Carica papaia, and on " Ohia," Sand- 

 wich Islands. 



Lee. longulum, Douglas (K. 1 .506) : on Ficus, Swatow. 



Lee. notaturn, sp. nov. (K. 1475, 1478) : on Thea, on Ilex crenata, and on 

 Pittosporum, Japan. Adult female brown, elliptical, flattish, with a dorsal longi- 

 tudinal carina. Antennae with eight joints. On the dorsal carina there are two 

 longitudinal rows of small irregularly polygonal cells, quite different from tlie 

 conical spinnerets of Ceronema japonicum. Male yellow, with rather long terminal 

 spike. 



Lee. olece, Bernard (K. 163) : on Vine, Hong Kong. 



PuLViNAEiA psidii, Maskell (K. 1277, 1373, 1504, 1507, and two without a 

 number) : on Citrus, Houg Kong and Formosa ; on Citrus, Pittosporum, and Eurya 

 japonica, Japan. 



Peosopophora quercus, Cockerell (K. 1281) : on Quercus cuspidata and Quer- 

 cus salicifolia, Japan. 



Planchonia delicata. Green (K. 1495) : on Bambusa tessetlata, Japan. 



Planch., sp. indeterm. (K. 1558) : on Quercus, Japan. 



Eriococcus exiguus, sp. nov. (K. 1525), on ?, Hong Kong and Formosa. 

 Extremely minute : sacs yellowish or whitish, entangled in the hairs of the plant, 

 and very loosely felted. 



Erioc. graminis, sp. nov. (K. 1523, 1546) : on Grass, Hong Kong. Sacs pure 



white, elliptical, felted. Adult female dull greenish-brown ; antennae with six 



joints, feet normal. Dorsum bearing a good many slender and shortish spines. 



Allied to E. pallidus, Maskell.
