This sepecies has never been .rediscovered or redes- 

 cribed since the original description in 1852. The form 

 and venation of the wing are, however, those of Alenro- 

 dicus. Wheu rediscovered, therefore, the insect may prove 

 to fall in a genus more primative than Aleurodicus, but 

 for the preseut \ve place it in that genus. The inseet, as 

 quoted from the original description, was found rather 

 common in Santiago on leaves of Parqui [Cestrmn paniui 

 L'Her.) and infests this plaut principally during the nionth 

 of January.
