The following Notes and Descriptions are the outcome of 

 some months" residence at Perth, on the Swan River,_ 

 Western Australia, where in the immediate vicinity of 

 the city I collected the majority of the specimens. For 

 many, 'particularly those from other localities, I am, 

 however, indebted to my friends and their colleagues 

 Messrs. Richard Helms, A. M. Lea, and A. E. Lankaster. 

 A catalogue of the greater number of the species was 

 pubhshed^in 1897, in the Journal of the W. A. Bureau of 

 Agriculture. The diagnoses given therein were very brief, 

 and intended only as preliminary to the publication of the 

 full descriptions; which were then almost in the same 

 form as that in which they are now presented. It has 

 been impossible, owing to many vicissitudes, to take full 

 advantage of the time that has since elapsed, and little 

 more has been done than to modify the arrangement to 

 some extent, correct a few obvious errors, and add remarks 

 to those species which have since been discussed by other 

 authors. 



Family COCCID^. 



MONOPHLEBIN^. 



Genus CALLirAPPUS,* Guerin-Meneville. 



Since 1849, when Guerin-Meneville f formed this genus 

 for the reception of a single species G. westiooodii from the 

 Swan River, Western Australia, no further additions have 

 been made to it. I have, however, been very fortunate in 

 securing many specimens of his species, and two others as 



* Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell has, I understand, recently placed this 

 genus in the sub-family Margarodinee, tribe Xylococcini.
