  Notes 
  and 
  Exhibitions. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Kotinsky 
  exhibited 
  specimens 
  of 
  the 
  Coccid 
  Morganella 
  

   maskelli 
  Cock, 
  on 
  shoots 
  of 
  fig. 
  After 
  comparison 
  with 
  Leon- 
  

   ardi's 
  figure 
  of 
  Aspidiotus 
  {Morganella) 
  longissimus 
  he 
  concurs 
  

   with 
  Maskell 
  in 
  taking 
  the 
  local 
  insect 
  to 
  be 
  but 
  a 
  variety 
  

   (ornatus) 
  of 
  the 
  Demerara 
  species.* 
  

  

  He 
  also 
  exhibited 
  two 
  Chalcids 
  bred 
  from 
  Ceroplastes 
  rubens 
  

   one 
  of 
  these 
  is 
  a 
  Microterys, 
  probably 
  flavus; 
  it 
  differs 
  from 
  this 
  

   in 
  that 
  the 
  light 
  wedges 
  on 
  the 
  wing 
  unite, 
  thus 
  completely 
  

   separating 
  the 
  apical 
  dusky 
  spot 
  into 
  a 
  bar 
  and 
  spot. 
  He 
  

   further 
  exhibited 
  a 
  Scymnid 
  bred 
  from 
  Ceroputo 
  bahiae, 
  Ehr., 
  

   on 
  Salico7-ma, 
  received 
  from 
  Mr. 
  Koebele, 
  collected 
  near 
  Alameda, 
  

   California. 
  A 
  colony 
  of 
  twelve 
  of 
  this 
  Scymnid 
  were 
  released 
  at 
  

   Waikiki 
  upon 
  a 
  Banyan 
  tree 
  infested 
  with 
  Pseudococcus 
  nipae. 
  

   He 
  also 
  exhibited 
  an 
  avocado 
  Pear 
  twig 
  which 
  contained 
  a 
  

   batch 
  of 
  defunct 
  eggs 
  of 
  some 
  Locustid. 
  Mr. 
  Swezey 
  expressed 
  

   the 
  opinion 
  that 
  the 
  eggs 
  were 
  laid 
  by 
  Elimaea 
  appendiculata 
  

   when 
  the 
  twig 
  was 
  still 
  very 
  young 
  and 
  tender; 
  this 
  ascribes 
  to 
  

   this 
  Locustid 
  the 
  habit 
  of 
  laying 
  eggs 
  in 
  both 
  twig 
  and 
  leaf 
  

   edges. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Kotinsky 
  also 
  exhibited 
  specimens 
  of 
  Agromyza 
  sp., 
  a 
  

   Tortricid 
  moth 
  and 
  several 
  Chalcidoids 
  bred 
  from 
  Radish 
  leaves. 
  

  

  Since 
  presenting 
  the 
  above 
  note 
  the 
  author 
  sent 
  specimens 
  to 
  Mr. 
  

   Newstead 
  who 
  kindly 
  compared 
  them 
  with 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  Morgan's 
  type 
  

   lot 
  in 
  his 
  collection, 
  and 
  found 
  that 
  they 
  " 
  agree 
  in 
  every 
  detail 
  with 
  

   Morgan's 
  co-type 
  of 
  his 
  Aspidiotus 
  longispina." 
  This 
  determination 
  

   leaves 
  Cockerell's 
  M. 
  maskelli 
  and 
  Maskell's 
  var. 
  ornatus 
  as 
  synonyms 
  

   of 
  Morgan's 
  name.
