PAPERS ON coccidj: or scale insects. 



CATALOGUE OF RECENTLY DESCRIBED COCCID^ — II. 



By J. G. Sanders, M. A., Assistant. 



The preparation of a catalogue of this character requires great 

 vigilance and constant attention to the voluminous literature of 

 entomology, in order that every reference to Coccidse be noted. 

 Descriptions of new genera and species appear in all conceivable 

 publications in many languages, but the publication of the results 

 of technical entomological research in botanical journals or other 

 periodicals which do not usually treat of entomological subjects 

 can not be too strongly condemned. For decades the publication of 

 names for new species without description, nomina nud/^. , has been 

 decried. Still there are entomologists who indulge in this unfortu- 

 nate practice, thereby leading to confusion and error. 



In this catalogue, the second of the series, "- are included references 

 to 24 new genera, 195 new species, and 14 new varieties. The writer 

 believes the list quite complete to March, 1909, and asks the assist- 

 ance of coworkers in adding references which may have been over- 

 looked.
