460 Mr. E. E. Green's Remarks on 



L. Candida, Targ., as noted above, has been alternately 

 extinguished and rehabilitated, by Leonardi and Lindinger 

 respectively. The latter author is convinced that, in 

 describing Aspidiotus pini, both Hartig and Bouch6 were 

 dealing with a different insect, and he accordingly adopts 

 the name Candida of Targioni as the earliest definition of 

 the species attributed by later writers (Signoret, Berlese 

 and Leonardi) to pini. 



L. cockerelli, of de Charmoy (originally described under 

 the generic name Fiorinia), is a very distinct species about 

 which there can be no question. 



L. cordylinidis, of Maskell, appears to be rightly placed 

 in this genus. Maskell's description of the female puparium 

 as having the " pellicles terminal, small," is misleading. 

 Examples in my collection (received from Maskell himself) 

 show that the nymphal pellicle has the characters of typical 

 Leucaspis, being large, concealed beneath the secretionary 

 covering, and completely enclosing the body of the adult 

 female. 



L. corsa, of Lindinger, was subsequently recognised by 

 that author as being equivalent to signoreti. 



L. cupressi, Coleman. The author's description and 

 figures (Jn. N. Y. Ent. Soc, xi, p. 71) are sufficient proof 

 that this insect is not a Leucaspis. It is probably correctly 

 allocated (by Lindinger) to the genus Lepidosaphes. 



L. ephedrae, Marchal, appears to be a well-defined 

 species. 



L. epidaurica, of Gennadius, has been shown by Leonardi 

 and Lindinger to be equivalent to riccae of Targioni. 



L. gigas, of Maskell, originally described as a Fiorinia, 

 has been correctly relegated, by Lindinger, to the present 

 genus. 



L. indica, Marlatt, has characters that sufficiently dis- 

 tinguish it from all other members of the genus. 



L. indiae-orientalis, Lind. Judging by the figures given 

 by Dr. Lindinger, this species must be very near to his 

 kermanensis. They both occur in the Oriental region ; but 

 the striking difference in the food-plant {indiae-orientalis 

 affecting Pinus, while kermanensis occurs on the Salix 

 tribe) suggests that the similarity must be more apparent 

 than real. 



L. japonica, Ckll. This is recognised, by both Leonardi 

 and Lindinger, as a good species ; but, after comparison 

 with typical examples of riccae, it appears to me to be
