THE COCCIDM OF WESTERN INDIA. 137 



Icerya aegyptiaca, Doiigl. — Is also a rare scale, but found in a few cases 

 on the leaves of Ficus bengalensis [banyan) . 



This list of scale insects in Western India is only a preliminary one. 

 Many others have been collected but they are omitted until the identifica- 

 tion is certain and complete. The data given above has only been pos- 

 sible on account of the help and co-operation of Mr. E. E. Green, who 

 has taken the greatest pains to identify the collections sent to him. I am 

 deeply grateful to him for thus enabling me to render my observations of 

 definite and permanent value.
