This species was collected oii the leaves of «oity» 

 {^loquUlea tomentosa Beuth) by Dr. Eziqíiiel da Boeba 

 Brito at Rio de Janeiro and sent to Mr. Hempel. The in- 

 dividuáis are usually found on the lower surface of the 

 leaves along the mid rih, and are entirely covered with a 

 wax secretion. The wax is very dense on the raargiu. 

 with radiating long curled glassy filaments. Hempel states 

 that the longest of these filaments measure 25 mra. This 

 species is closely related to Aleurodicus nef/Iectusi^uam- 

 tance and Baker, and Aleurodicus dugesü Cockerell, the 

 main difference between this species, A. nef/Iectus and A. 

 dugt'sii being in the transverso bands of color on the fore- 

 \Ymg Aleurodicus fumineus. has three dusky transverse 

 áreas, Avhile A. du(/esii has íbnr and A. ne[ilectus has a 

 serie of dnsky spots which are so cióse together as to al- 

 most forin bands. The color markings upon the wings of 

 A. ner/lectus are so variable that we believe the two spec- 

 ies, A. Jiunmieus and A. nenlectus, Avill prove one and the 

 same when a larger series of adnlts has beeu stndied.

The first collection of this species came from Para, 

 Brazil, taken on guava byMr. Albert Ivoebele, December 

 1882. In 1892 and 1893'^Mr. Robert Xewstead sent spec- 

 imens taken from Annona squumosa Linñ. and Ficiis 

 6e«^rt/e«s¿s Linn, at i)em erara, British Guiana. Onthe 

 leal the pupa case is completely covered by a copious wax 

 secretion made up of long, glassy wax rods and overlaid 

 with a tíocculent wax mass.
