COCCIDiE FROM THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS. 



By S. I. KuwANA, 



Stanford Uiin'ersity, California. 



( Pl.ATKS IV AND V. ) 



In 1898-1899 Messrs. R. E. Snodgrass and Edmund Heller, as- 

 sistant in entomology and advanced student in zoology, respectively, 

 in Stanford University, spent six months on the Galapagos Island col- 

 lecting animals and plants for the University. The plants thus col- 

 lected were placed in the university herbarium, and not until recently 

 were thev examined for Coccidce. During the winter recess, Decem- 

 ber, 1901-January, 1902, the writer found six species of scale insects 

 on these plants, representing four genera. All of these species are 

 described in this paper. No previous records of Coccidai from the 

 Galapagos Islands have ever been published. 



The following are the names of the species described in this paper : 

 Subfamily Orthezian^e, Orthezia galapagoefisis, sp. nov.; Subfamily 

 Asterolecaniina2, AsterolecatiiiiDi pustiilaiis ; Subfamily LecaniinEe, Le- 

 canium hemispJicEricum, Lecauiuin hesperidiDii pacificum, var. nov.; 

 Subfamily Diaspinae, Aspldiotiis latanice, Aspidiofus smilacis. 



I have to thank Prof. W. R. Dudley for permission to examine the 

 dried plants, and have also to acknowledge the courtesy of Prof. T. D. 

 A, Cockerell in reading the MS. of this paper, examining specimens of 

 the species herein described, and giving notes, published herewith, on 

 these Galapagos Island Coccidae. 



This paper was prepared in the Entomological Laboratory of Stan- 

 ford University under the direction of Prof. V. L. Kellogg.
