curcubitae, Coq., from Cucumis, Momordica charaniia, pumpkin, 

 Lujfa aegyptiaca, melon, musk melon, and Trichosanthes cucumerina ; 

 D. (C) caiidatus, F., from grass, skaki gourd, Trichosanthes palmata, 

 and pomelo ; D. {C.) garciniae, Bezzi, from Garcinia ; D. (C) scutel- 

 larius, sp. n. ; D. (C.) higuttatus, sp, n. ; D. (C.) bipustulatus, Bezzi ; 

 D. (C.) sciitellaris, Bezzi ; Mellesis sphaeroidalis, gen. et sp. n., 

 M. brachycera, sp. n. ; M. crabroniformis, Bezzi ; M. destillatoria, 

 sp. n. ; M. eumenoides, sp. n., from Trichosanthes cucumerina and 

 cucumber ; Adrama austeni, Hendel. 



The paper closes with an index of the scientific names of 30 plants, 

 with the respective species attacking them. This shows that the forms 

 of D. ferrugineus and its allies breed on various plants of different 

 families, but never on Cucurbitaceae, while C. cucurhitae and its allies 

 feed only on plants of that family. The polyphagous species, like 

 D. ferrugineus and D. cucurbitae, are very variable in their characters. 

 Only species or forms of the D. ferrugineus group are attracted by oil of 

 citronella.

A description is given of the following new Coccidae from the 

 Seychelles : — Aspidiotus (Chrysoniphalus) ansei, from fronds ofcoconut 

 {Cocos nucifera) ; Gy7nnaspis grandis, from fruit of Lodoicea sechel- 

 larum (Coco de Mer) ; and Lepidosaphes duponii, on leaf-stalks of 

 coconut. Since the publication (in Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., xii, 

 part 2, p. 197, 1907) of a list of Coccidae occurring in the Seychelles, 

 the following additional species have been identified in collections 

 received from Mr. Dupont : — Lecanium mangiferae, Green, on cinnamon 

 and imported mango plants ; Aspidiotus dictyospermi pinnidifera, 

 Mask., on Jasminum, Thunbergia, Pandanus, and coconut ; A. 

 bromeliae, Newst., on pine-apple; Ischnaspis filiformis. Dough, on 

 oil-palm ; Parlatoria pergandei, Comst., on Thunbergia.
