Patria Incerta. 
A. (Aspidiotus s. str.) aloes Boisd.— 2 scale white; exuvize central and yellow. Median 
lobes large; grouped glands present. Allied to nerii. Ou Aloe umbellata, 
Europe. (Signoret, Essai, 1869, p. 114). 
A. (Aonidiella) aurantii Mask.—@ scale light gray, but appearing orange or reddish 
from the insect showing through; exuview marked by anipple-like prominence. 
2 reniform, three pairs of lobes, no groups of ventral glands. On Citrus trees 
in California, Australia, and the western Mediterranean region. On lignum- 
vite principally, never on Citrus, in Jamaica. A variety on Podocarpus in 
Japan, collected by Mr. Takahashi at Tokio. New Zealand, Fiji Js., Sandwich 
Is., Samoa, Tonga, New Caledonia; on cocoanut in Central America; on Taxus 
in Italy; on Citrus japonica at the University of Arizona, sent by Prof. Toumey. 
var. citrinus Coquill.—A yellow variety. California; Japan. According to How- 
ard, this occurs on the leaves and fruit, never on the bark. See Insect Life, 
Feb., 1894, p. 228. Howard records three parasites from v. citrinus, all different 
from the three bred from typical aurantii. 
A. (Aspidiotus s. str.) buddleiz Sign.— ? scale circular, white; exuvie yellow. Ventral 
grouped glands present. On Buddleia salicina, hothouses of the Luxembourg. 
Maskell reports it on Acacia in New Zealand. 
A. (Aspidiotus 8. str.?) chameropsis Sign.—¢ scale elongated, transparent; exuvie 
yellow and to one side. Lobes terminated by long hairs; grouped glands 
present. On Chamerops australis. (Essai, 1869, p. 118.) 
A. (Aspidiotus 8. str.) cyanophylli Sign.— Q scale circular, brownish yellow; exuvie 
central, bright yellow but covered by white secretion. Median lobes large; 
plates long and branched, 4 small groups of ventral glands, 3 to5 ina group. 
On Cyanophyllum, Paris (Signoret); on Ficus, U. S. (Comstock, Cornell Rep. 
1883, p.59). On palm and Cycas in Ceylon, according to Green, but his insect 
is a different species, 4. greenii, n.sp., at least so far as the form sent to me is 
concerned. 
A. (Aspidiotus 8. str.) eycadicola Boisd.—Q scale circular, white; exuvie central, yel- 
low; median lobes large; grouped glands present. ¢ with the thoracic band 
large. On Cycas revoluta, Kurope. (Signoret, Essai, 1869, p. 119). 
A. (Chrysomphalus) degeneratus Leon.— 9? scale greenish, convex, about 11 mm. long. 
@ pale yellow, three pairs of lobes; serrated plates; chitinous processes at 
base of lobes hardly longer than the lobes; four groups of ventral glands, not 
over 4 in a group. On leaves of Camellia japonica. Italy. (Riv. Pat. Veget., 
IV, 345.) 
A. (Aspidiotus s. str.) destructor Sign.—? scale circular, flat, yellowish or whitish ; 
exuvie large, central. © with three pairs of lobes, or even a fourth clearly dis- 
tinguishable, and scale-like divided plates; the level of the tips of the median 
lobes below or at any rate not above that of the tips of second lobes. 4. fallax 
Ckll. and cocotis Newst. are the same. On palins and various other plants. 
West Indies, Demerara, Bourbon, Marquesas Islands, Laccadive Islands. 
Distinguished at once from nerii, to which it is closely allied, by the larger 
exuvie and the short median lobes not extending beyond the tips of the 
second lobes. The var. fallax, on mango in Antigua, shows the four pairs of 
lobes. (See Ent. Mo. Mag., March, 1894, p.57.) 
A. (Aspidiotus 8. str.) epidendri Bouché.—Resembles nerii, but differs in the ¢. On 
Epidendrum, Europe. (Signoret, Essai, 1869, p. 121.) Maskell reports it on 
Acacia in New Zealand. 
A. (Aspidiotus s.str.?) kennedye Boisd.—Resembles nerii. On Kennedya. (Nomen 
seminudum. ) 
A. (Aspidiotus 8. str.) latanie Sign.—Q scale a little elongated, clear yellow, trans- 
lucid at center; exuvie large. Median lobes large; four groups of ventral 
glands. On Latania. A hothouse species in Europe. Green reports it from 
Ceylon, but it is not certain that his insect is the true latania.
