Dactylopius (Trechocorys) longispinus, Targ. Females only. 

 On Gypripedtum grande. Coll. G. Nicholson. Almost as com- 

 mon and as widely distributed as the preceding. 



Gymnococcus agavium, Douglas. In all stages but the perfect 

 males. On Agave deserti and A. Wislizeni (House No. 5). Coll. 

 W. Down. This species was first described from material dis- 

 covered at Kew in 1888. Since that date the insect has been lost 

 sight of until it was re-discovered at Kew in October, 1006. It is 

 an interesting species, and has, I believe, not been recorded from 

 any other habitat.
