BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CACTUS INSECTS. 



This bibliography is intended to be complete in so far as the 

 important records of the occurrence of insects on cactus are con- 

 cerned. It does not include, however, the numerous references to 

 the cochineal insect which are scattered throughout the general lit- 

 erature of entomology and many trade journals, although several of 

 the more important special articles on this insect have been admitted. 

 In the paper by De Nobrega will be found many references to older 

 accounts of the cochineal insect.
