This was described from specimens found under the dead bark on a sheoak 

 (Casuarina). Length, one inch, of a general claret brown colour, viewed 

 from above, elongate, ovate, clothed with fine mealy flakes, with ten-jointed 

 antennae, the thoracic segments marked with transverse red bands. 



A second species, described by Fuller, under the name of C. hufo, on a 

 number of difierent trees, is only the final, or moribund stage, of either 

 C. farithosa or C. tvestivoodi. I have often taken them attached to the bark 

 by the ventral surface, just as they are figured in " Australian Insects."

 Tepper, Trans. Royal Society, South Australia, vol. xxiii, p. 278, 1899. 



This species comes from Central Australia, where it was taken upon Acacia 

 aneura. Maskell described the female as varying from reddish brown to 

 almost black, and from one-third to an inch in length. Tepper obtained a 

 fine series from Port Augusta, South Australia, some of which measured one 

 and a half inches in length, and were dusted all over with white meal-like dust. 



The males have the typical blue black bodies and rose-coloured wings.

Callipappus ruhiginostis , Maskell. 

 Trans. New Zealand Institute, vol. xxv, p. 242,1892. 

 It is found in Victoria and South Australia on the leaves of the honeysuckle 

 {Banksia integrifolia). Maskell describes it as a dark reddish-brown mealy 

 bug, covered with short slender filaments, giving it a rusty tint. The body 

 is irregularly wrinkled, with a ridge running round the outer margin.

This typical species of the genus was described by Guerin upon eucalypts 



from West Australia. Redescribed by Signoret in 1875, and recorded as 



common about Perth, West Australia, by Fuller, who says : " Adult females 



purple, flattish; secreting long glassy filaments. Length, one inch." 



Guerin, who probably described his type from dead, dried specimens, says the 



female is about half an inch in length, brownish black, covered all over with 



a fine silky, yellow pubescence. Males, which Mr. Lea sent me, are of the 



usual reddish colour, with the antennae very long and slender, and the 



abdominal tail of silken glassy filaments, very long and brush-like.
