Further notes on Coccidae from Brazil. 
By T. D. A. Cockerell. 
Entomologist of the New Mexico Agricultural Experiment Station. 
Dr. von Ihering has been so good as to send me 
some species of Coccidae recently found in Brazil, being 
new for that country. 
(1) Pseudoparlatoria parlatorioides (Comstock). N.º 
93, on leaves of œuava (Psidium) in some numbers on 
the under side of the leaf. This species was originally 
described by Comstock in 1883, from specimens found 
by Dr. Turner on Persea carolinensis in Florida. It was 
next found on leaves of Coconut palm from Acapulco, 
Mexico, received from Mr. Alex. Craw. Recently I have 
received specimens from the Division of Entomology of 
the U. S. Department of Agriculture which were found 
on the orchid Oncidium caricosum in cultivation at 
Washington, D. C. Itisan addition to the fauna of Bra- 
Al. The genus Pseudoparlatoria, Ckll.. has but one other 
known species, namely 2. ostreata, Ckll., which is des- 
tructive to Acalypha in Jamaica. 
(2.) Chionaspis aspidistrac, Signoret.- On leaves of 
orange, both male (n.º 94)and female (n.°95)scales. The 
male scales are white, those of the female brown, and 
quite differently shaped. This is ordinary aspidistrae, not 
the form Zafus (Ckll), nor brasiliensis (Signoret), which 
is now considered a variety of aspidistrae. The occurence 
of the insect upon orange leaves is quite interesting; 
ordinarily it infests such plants as Aspidistra. The female 
scale might be confused with Mytilaspis citricola, but 
it is smoother, and of a livelier brown; while the male
