British Coccids, (p. 154, Vol. I), Newstead states, "A long 

 plate immediately follows the first three pairs "of lobes." In 

 my specimens there is a spine between the first and second 

 lobes — not a plate. 



Diaspis pentagona Targ. 

 Hosts, Peach, Ipom^ea antillans. Localities, Tacajo, Cala- 

 bazar. Dates, April 12, 1905; May 3, 1908. Collectors, M. T. C, 

 W. T. H. Note. — This material does not agree perfectly with 

 Newstead's figure, Monograph of the British Coccidae, (Vol. I, 

 p. 447). The mesal portion of the second pair of lobes is sub- 

 equal in Newstead's figure while in these specimens it is much 

 longer. These specimens usually have a trifurcate plate laterad 

 of the second pair of lobes, where Newstead figures an ordinary 

 plate; also these specimens have one to two pectinae in the 

 fourth position, while Newstead figures three.
