414 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



Fam. COCCI NELLI DAE. 



An uncertain number of species of tliis family have been introduced to Hawaii 

 for economic purposes since the time when Mr Blackburn formed his collections. I 

 can give no information as to these introduced forms. They do not appear to have 

 affected their anciently established congeners, as these apparently hold much the same 

 position at present as they did 30 years ago.
