THE WEST INDIAN SPECIES OF DACTYLOPIVS.

(2.) Dactylopius longifilis, Comstock. 



This species, which is easily recognised by its distinct lateral 

 appendages, and its long fine caudal filaments, is common and 

 injurious in Kingston. I have found it on species of Adiantum, 

 Ficus, &c. In June, 1892, Miss H. Kilburn sent me two mango 

 fruits, badly attacked by this species. 



I have not seen Signoret's D. ficus, but, judging from the 

 description, it seems closely allied to longifilis. 



(3.) Dactylopius, sp. incert. 

 Mr. Bowrey brought me some specimens of the egg-plant 

 {Solanum melongena) grown in his garden in Kingston, which had 

 been severely attacked in some way, and were dying in conse- 

 quence. On examination the stems showed several holes, which 

 proved to be blind cavities, tenanted by young individuals of
