128 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [April, 'o6 



This is a large species, the pupa measuring about 1.5 x 1 

 mm., and from oval to oblong in shape. It is considerably 

 raised above the surface of the leaf, and the pupa case soon 

 falls away, leaving only a portion of the marginal rim of wax. 

 Varying from light yellowish green with purplish markings, 

 to purple or chocolate with green or whitish spots or blotches 

 near the margin. Dorsum flat, without spines or wax rods. 

 I have never seen the adult of this species, but it is described 

 as white or yellowish, with immaculate wings. Larvae and 

 pupae are not abundant, and usually one or two are found 

 upon a leaf. 



Collected by the writer September 20, 1904, September 8, 

 1905, at Westville, Ct. ; September 15, 1905, New Canaan, 

 Ct.; on red and silver maple. At New Canaan it seemed to 

 be most abundant on a cut-leaved variety of the silver 

 maple. 



Aleyrodes packardi Morrill.

 1903 ; Psyche, Vol. X, p. 83, 1903 ; Technical Bull., No. 1,

For several years this species has been confused with A. 

 vaporariorum Westwood, and in literature, many references 

 to the latter doubtless refer to A. packardi. For a more com- 

 plete bibliography the reader is referred to Canadian Ento- 

 mologist, Vol. XXXV, p. 35, and Technical Bull. No. i, 

 Mass. Agr. Expt. Station, p. 61. 



Pupa about .80X.48 mm., broadly oval. Dorsal surface 

 nearly flat. Two series of marginal wax rods ; the outer ra- 

 diating, somewhat curved, the length about equal to one-half 

 the breadth of the pupa ; the inner series are nearly twice as 

 long, and are curved upward and inward over the body. 



Rather abundant on the leaves of cultivated strawberries at 

 West Hartford, June 30, 1905.
