tain region. Prof. Gillette has found it at Manitou, Colorado; 
the specimens from this locality vary, some having the exu- 
vie very pale yellow, as in examples found by Mr. Petit at 
Ithaca, N. Y., while others, constituting a mut. nov. semiaureus, 
have the exuvie bright orange.) 
Jamaica, West Innes (L). 
*Ceroplastes ceriferus (Anders). Mr. W. Harris sends me 
specimens from Jamaica on burweed, Triumfetta rhomboidea 
Jacq. (n. g. p.). They were found at Cinchona on March 
15, 1895. These scales differ a little from typical ceriferus, 
being very white, yet I cannot separate them specifically. 
The derm has very large oval gland pores, and is obscurely 
tessellated. The digitules of the claw are very stout, with 
large knobs; those of the tarsus long, moderately slender, 
with large knobs. (The only West Indian locality before 
known for the species is Antigua.) 
* Icerya montserratensis Riley & Howd. ‘There were in the 
Jamaica museum some fragments of a coccid marked “19 
Feb., 1886. No. 740. J. Hart.” I brought away a portion of 
this material when I left Jamaica, as it was evidently some- 
thing I had never found in the island; and on recently sub- 
jecting it to careful examination, I find it to be T. montserra- 
tensis. It differs from the type of that species in no important 
respect, though the club of the antenne is not as long as the 
three preceding joints together. The antenne are very large, 
1l-jointed. The ovisac is long, yellowish-white, strongly 
grooved. Mr. Hart, now of Trinidad, formerly lived in 
Jamaica, and presumably found these specimens there. It is 
curious that I never met with the species, if it has been intro- 
duced into the island. 
New York Stare (N.). 
Aspidiotus ancylus Putnam (ep. Comstock, 2d Cornell Rep., p. 
59). Dr. Lintner sent me some of this from Albany, found 
several years ago on black currant (n. p.) in his garden. 
Lecanium ribis Fitch. Dr. Lintner sent me specimens found 
in June, 1885 by Hon. G. W. Clinton, in Albany Rural Ceme- 
tery, on Ostrya (n. g. p.) and Carpinus (n. g. p.). Comparison
