Tue Coccid genus Pulvinaria, Targ., consists of about 
twenty-four described species, some of which are de- 
cidedly injurious to cultivated plants. Of these, eighteen 
are European, two or three inhabit North America, two 
are from Australia, and one from Mauritius. P. cestri, 
Bouché, was found in greenhouses, and its native 
country is uncertain. P. camellicola has been intro- 
duced in New Zealand, but Mr. Maskell, who has so 
carefully studied the Coccide of that country, has met 
with no native species there. In the neotropical region 
the genus has been unknown ; until recently a new 
species was mentioned, but not named or described, 
from Montserrat (‘ Insect Life,’ vol. i11., p. 408).*
