34. Mi/tilaspis concolor, Ckll.* 

 From M. albiis var. concolor — now considered a good species — 

 his Prospalta aurantii is given by Howard (Revis. p. 41) from North 

 America. 



35. Mytilaspis eucalypti, Crawf.* 

 This species is attacked in Australia by the same parasite as 

 the last. 



36. Eriopeltes lichtensteinii, Sign.* 



Gaulle (Cat. 99) gives this species, under the genus Eriophorus, 

 as destroyed by Sceptrophorus cyanifrons, Dalm., in France. 



37. Eriopeltes festuca, Fonsc. 



The same author brings forward (p. 106) Apheliniis ahdomi- 



nalis, Dalm. {nee Nees) as a parasite of Coccus festuca, but later 



(p. 97) simply instances Ectroma rufum, Dalm. {lindus, Walk.) 



and Bceocharis pascuorum, Mayr., as attacking Coccids on grasses. 



38. Ceroplastes. 

 Unspecified members of this genus are said by Ashmead to 

 be attacked by Asteropceus primus, How., in Mexico (p. 405), and 

 Aphycus mcxicanus. How. (p. 387 et Eevis. Aphel. 1895, p. 22). 



39. Ceroplastes rusci, Linn.* 

 C. artemisice, Riley (et ? Rossi) is destroyed by Aj^hycus cero- 

 jjlastis. How., according to that author (Descr. N. Am. Chal. 1885, 

 p. 18). 



40. Ceroplastes cerripediformis, Comst.* 



The parasite of this species is AjjJtycus mexicanus, in North 

 America (Ashm. 1900, p. 387). 



41. Ceroplastes actiniformis, Green.* 

 Howard records (Proc. U. S. Nat. Museum, 1896, p. 633) 

 this as the host of Coccophagus orientalis in Ceylon. 



42. Vinsonia stellifera, Westw. 

 And, in like manner (p. 639), Anicetus ceylonensis. How., 

 preys upon this species.
