in Peru. It is with the idea of making known the new localities and 

 new hosts of those coccids already determined, that this article is 

 written. 



Aspidiotus caniellice Sign. 



This coccid has been found more or less abundant in all parts of 

 the Republic, so far visited, where its hosts exist but scarcely ever in 

 sufficient numbers to cause it to be regarded as a serious pest. It is 

 evidently kept well in check by microhymenopterous parasites which 

 are not only numerically great but also include several different species. 



Collected as follows in Peru: on Salix huviboldiiana, Acobamba (elevation 9000+ 

 feet); Cordyline ierminalis, Lima; Nerium oleander, Lima; Baccharis sp., Huancayo. 

 Also noted on many other plants throughout the Republic. 



Aspidiotus cyanophylli Sign. 



To date this scale has been collected only four times by the writer, 

 but has, doubtless, been overlooked in other instances and will be 

 collected in the future as this work progresses, as this climate seems 

 very suitable to its multiplication. 



On Musa paradisiaca, Hacienda San Japinto (Department of Piura); Carica papaya, 

 Lima, Cinnamonum sp., Lima; Cocos sp., Lima. 



Aspidiotus cydonice Comst. 



Collected as follows: on peach, Lima; rose, Hacienda Santa Clara (Department 

 of Piura); Morus alba, Lima; Eriobotrya japonica, Cinnamonum sp., Lima; Nerium 

 oleander, Samdn (Department of Piura). 



Aspidiotus hederoe Vail. 



Collected as follows: on Dracaena sp., Lima; Cordyline Ierminalis, Lima; Dianthus 

 chinensis, Lima; Ligustrum japonicum, Lima, and at Arequipa; Magnolia grandiflora, 

 Lima; Nerium oleander, Lima; Eriobotrya japonica, Lima. 



Aspidiotus juglans-regice Comst. 

 This scale is evidently an introduction, probably of the last few 

 years, and has not yet become widespread in this country, although 

 climatic conditions around Lima (near where the specimens were 

 collected) seem favorable to its reproduction. 



Recorded from Peru only in one instance as follows: Hacienda ifJana (between 

 Lima and Chosica) on Juglans sp. 



Aulacaspis rosce Bouche 

 This insect is a pest in many gardens throughout the country and 

 is especially damaging to the roses, which it very often kills outright. 

 Up to the present date it has not been noted on any other host and only 

 a more extended search can determine whether it has extended its 

 ravages to the native rosaceous flora. In this climate it has several 

 broods per year and all stages can be found at almost any season. Adult
