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



The lobes may be asymmetrically disposed, one or more 

 of them being often missing. The median plates are 

 occasionally fused together, as represented in Leonardi's 

 figure. 



L. riccae, Targ., is undoubtedly a good species. Even 

 should it prove to be identical with japonica, the name riccae 

 has priority. 



L. signoreti, Targ. The authenticity of this name re- 

 mains undisputed. 



L. stricta, Mask. Originally described as a Fiorinia, 

 this insect has been justly relegated to the genus Leiicaspis 

 by Leonardi, in which decision he is followed by Lindinger. 



L. sulci, Newst. This species also originally figured under 

 the genus Fiorinia. It is now recognised as equivalent 

 to Leucaspis loewi ; but, as noted in my remarks upon that 

 species, there is a question as to which specific name should 

 be retained. 



To the above catalogue I now propose to add two new 

 names, viz. : — 



L. perezi, from Pinus, in the Canary Islands ; and 

 L. salicis, occurring on Salix : Beloochistan. 



Detailed descriptions of these two species appear 

 below. 



Eliminating synonyms and disputed names, we have the 

 following seventeen species remaining in the genus : —
