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

 tions of Three neio Species. By T. D. A. COCKERELL. 



The following species of Coccidge from Central America have 

 recently come under my notice : — 



Ceroplastes, Gray. 



Ceroplastes roseafus, Towns. & Ckll. 



Colombia: Yunama. {DoIb^-Tt/ler) . 



From it Mr. Dolby-Tyler bred the parasite Lecaniobius 

 CockereUl, Ashm. 



Parlatoria, Sign, [not Boiss., 1842, Crucifer^e]. 

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

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



AULACASPIS, Ckll. 

 Aulacaspis Boisduvalii (Sign.), Ckll. 



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

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



PSEUDOPARLATORIA, Ckll. 

 Pseudoparlatoria parlatorioides (Comst.), Ckll. 



i\lexico : 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 {Kuebele, 

 1719) ; Frontera, Tabasco, June 25, 1897, on nopal {Optmtia)^ 

 a variety with the scale pale greyish, exuviae 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
