Champion (G. C). The Synonymy and Distribution of Pantomorus 

 godmani, Crotch, a cosmopolitan Weevil attacking Roses, Green- 

 house Plants, etc.— Enf. Mthlv. Mas;., London, no 698 Tulv 1922

This note confirms the synonymy discussed by Hustache in the 

 preceding paper and further points out that Pantomorus godmani, 

 Crotch, was first described from the Azores in 1866. It seems to be 

 gradually spreading into widely distant regions, but it is certainly of 

 American origin and is a common pest in the United States.

The concluding part of this valuable work deals with six further 

 subfamilies of the Coccidae of Ceylon, viz. : Eriococcinae, with 

 6 new species ; Dactylopiinae, with 15 new species and 3 new 

 genera, Pseudantonina, Pedronia and Erioides ; Tachardiinae, with 

 1 new species ; Ortheziinae ; Margarodinae ; and Mono'phle- 

 BiNAE, with 5 new species and 2 new genera, Labioproctus and 

 Nietnera. Keys are given to the genera and species of each subfamily. 

 Among the new species with food-plants of economic importance is 

 Pseudococcus citriculus on orange. 



In a series of appendices are a number of corrections, emendations 

 and additions necessitated by further knowledge gained since the earlier 

 parts were published (1896-1909), with a list of species newly recorded 

 and of new species described since those dates. An index is given to 

 the genera and species dealt with throughout the monograph.
