Hah. : Lagos, West Africa, on coffee 

 leaves ; 1897. Forwarded with the preceding 

 by Mr. Blandford. 



Unfortunately only three specimens were 

 sent to me, but these show a decided departure 

 from typical L. viride as described by the 

 author (Ent. Mo. Mag., 1889, p. 248), and may 

 prove a distinct species, but until more adequate 

 material comes to hand I have considered it 

 advisable to place it as a var. In the margin 

 are given a figure of the antennae (6), the 

 tarsus showing the character of the digitules 

 (fig. 7), and one of the marginal hairs (fig. 8).

Eeiococcfs Greeni, n 



Sac of adult $ not separable from ^. insignis, 

 Newst. Adult ? elongate. Derm thickly set with 

 large, sharp spines, but more especially so at the 

 margins ; interspersed with them are an almost equal 

 number of long, fine hairs, and large simple spin- 

 nerets. Anal lobes normal, with 3-4 spines, and the 

 terminal setae, which equal in length the tibia and 

 tarsus together. Antennje (fig. 9) of six joints, of 

 which the third is much the longest ; formula 3126 

 (45) . Legs with a few spinose hairs ; posterior pair 

 longest, digitules long and slender. Anal ring with 

 eight long hairs ; intervening spaces of the ring with 

 large circular convex discs. 



Long, 2*50 mm. ; wide, 1"20 mm.

Hah. : on grass, at Budleigh Salterton, Devon ; Sept. 20th, 1896. 



Discovered by Mr. E. Ernest Green, to whom I have great 

 pleasure in dedicating the species. 



The character of the antennae is almost identical with that of 

 E. insignis, but easily separable from the latter by the spinose charac- 

 ter of the dermis. 



ElPEESIA FILICICOLA, M. Sp. 

 ? adult rather short ovate ; pale ochreous-yellow, or red-pink ; almost covered 

 with white secretion, which forms broad irregular plates on the abdominal segments, 

 but on the anterior portion of the body it is confluent and narrow, but presenting
