On Central -American Coccidce. 167 



XXV. — Notes on Central- American Coccidge, with Descrip- 

 tions of Three new Species. By T. D. A. Cockerell. 



The following- species of Coccidae from Central America have 

 recently come under my notice : — 



Ceroplastes, Gray. 



Ceroplastes roseatus, Towns. & Ckll. 



Colombia: Panama {Dolby -Tyler). 



From it Mr. Dolby-Tyler bred the parasite Lecaniobius 

 Cockerelli, Ashm. 



Parlatoria, Sign, [not Boiss., 1842, Crucifene]. 

 Parlatoria proteus, var. crotonis (Ckll.), Ckll. 

 Colombia: Panama, on Croton (Dolby- Tyler). 



Aulacaspis Boisduvalii (Sig*n.), Ckll. 



Mexico: El Cuyo del Chico Sapote, Tabasco, June 18, 

 1897 (Townsend; Div. Ent. 7857 pars). 



PSEUDOPARLATORIA, Ckll. 

 Pseudoparlatoria parlatorioides (Comst.), Ckll. 



Mexico: Hermosillo, April 20, 1897, a variety with a 

 white scale and circumgenital glands more numerous, median 

 to 1, anterior laterals 18 to 19, post, laterals 14 (Koebele, 

 1719) ; Frontera, Tabasco, June 25, 1897, on nopal (Opuntia), 

 a variety with the scale pale greyish, exuvise light brown, 

 circumgenital glands 12 in anterior lateral group, 9 in poste- 

 rior lateral. 



It may be that this species, as I understand it, includes two 

 or more; but I am not at present prepared to subdivide it. 



Aspidiotus, Bouche*. 



Subg. Aspidiotus, s. str. (Evaspidiotus } Leon.). 



Aspidiotus hederce (Vallot), Signoret. 



Mexico : Guadalajara, on fruit of sweet lime, Dec. 12,
