A. (Phaulaspis) hakee Mask.— ° scale circular, slightly convex, grayish-white ; exuvie 
dark orange, central. 9 orange-yellow, no lobes in adult, but four lobes in 
second stage; no groups of ventral glands. ¢ dark red. Related to A. acacie. 
On Hakea. (N. Z. Trans., xxviii, 384.) 
A. (Chrysomphalus) rossi Mask—Fig 15.—@ scale normally cireular, very slightly con- 
vex, deep dull brown, almost black; exuvix central, small, forming a little boss 
which is sometimes yellowish. @ with 6 lobes; 4 groups of ventral glands, not 
over 8 orifices in a group. ‘On oleander, Eucalyptus, Ricinocarpus, etc. Also in 
Ceylon, on Capparis. (N. Fe Minanses, XXAiv, lt) 
A. (Aspidiotus 8. si.) subrubescens Mask.—@ scale reddish-brown, subcirecular, flat; 
exuvie central, forming a small slightly elevated boss. ¢ scale white. @ 
with 6 lobes, and serrated plates; four groups of ventral glands. On Eucalyp- 
tus (N. Z. Trans., xxiv, 9); on Pittosporum from Australia (Div. Ent., No. 7399). 
A. (Chentraspis) unilobis Mask.— scale whitish, but usually blackened by fungus 
growth, circular, slightly convex; exuvie central, orange. @ dark orange, 
with a single, median, lobe, after the manner of Chionaspis querciis; no groups 
of ventral glands. On Acacia. (N. Z. Trans., xxvii, 40.) 
A. (subg.?) virescens Mask.— @ scale subcircular, flat, grayish-white; exuvie subcen- 
tral, first skin distinctly green, second greenish in middle and yellowish on 
border. 9 yellow with a greenish tinge; six lobes, not close together; ser- 
rated seale-like plates; 4 groups of ventral glands, cephalolaterals of 17 to 21, 
caudolaterals 8 to 13. On Lugenia smithii. (Tr. N. Z, Inst., xxviii, 384.) 
Oriental. 
A. (Mycetaspis ?) artocarpi Green.— ° scale less than 1 mm. diam., blackish, very con- 
vex; first skin exposed, central, dark brown with a pale reddish margin. 
Seale leaying a white scar surrounded by a black ring, after the manner of 
personatus. Q deeply constricted between cephalothorax and abdomen, four 
pairs of tooth like lobes, no plates, no grouped ventral glands. On leaves of 
Artocarpus integrifolius. Bombay. (Ent. Mo. Mag., 1896, p. 200.) 
A. (Aspidiotus, s. str.) excisus Green.— 2 scale convex, of irregular outline, thin, semi- 
transparent, whitish or very pale ochreous; exuvie yellow, approximately cen- 
tral. 2 with the median lobes sunk ina deep, squarely cut recess, an exag- 
geration of the condition in 4. destructor ; four groups of ventral glands, cepha- 
lolaterals 8 to 15, candolaterals 7 to 9. On leaves of Cyanotis pilosa. Ceylon. 
A. (Diaspidiotus) greenti Ckll.—See fig. 7. This is founded on the supposed cyano- 
phyllifound by Green on Cycas at Kandy, Ceylon, specimens having been kindly 
sent by Mr. Green. * 
A. (n. subg.) inusitatus Green.— scale very large, flattish, becoming elongated, even 
to 74 mm. long, brownish white or brownish fulvous; exuvie yellow, more or 
less concealed. 9 with no lobes, and no grouped ventral glands. On bamboo. 
Ceylon. (Coccide of Ceylon, p. 49.) Ihave not examined specimens of this 
* Since writing the above I have examined specimens of an Aspidiotus on cocoanut 
palms from Mazatlan, Mexico, forwarded by Mr. Alex. Craw. These are evidently 
Green’s supposed typical eyanophylli, but they are allied to Diaspidiotus, having the 
incisions between the lobes very well marked. The glands in the groups are few, 
cephalolaterals 4 or 5, caudolaterals 3. After studying these insects, I begin to feel 
less sure regarding cyanophylli than Ihad been. They certainly may be the insect 
described by Signoret, notwithstanding certain discrepancies. They also agree excel- 
lently with Comstock’s cyanophylli, except that Comstock not only fails to figure the 
incisions, but in his table places the species in the section without them. If the 
examination of Signoret’s types eventually proves that the present insect really is 
cyanophylli, then the name greenii will have to he confined to the variety from Cycas, 
on which it is primarily based. But in the meanwhile, I should prefer to include 
the Mazatlan insect under greenii. The species is probably of neotropical origin.
