[Vol. IV. 



3. ALEURODES EUGENI^E, 

 A new species of Bug. 



BY W. M. Maskell. 



[ The specimens from which this species Is described, were forwarded to the 

 Museum in February last, by Mr. Marshall Woodrow, from Poona, where they are 

 said to be doing serious injury to Jambool trees {Eugenia jambolana). The 

 examples received consisted of only larvae and pupse, which, however, proved quite 

 sufficient for identification. Mr. Maskell notices that the adult form is likely to 

 be a small white fly, the wings of which will be more or less floury, and possibly 

 slightly spotted.— E. B. ]
