INSECTS OF SAMOA. 



' 3. Pseudococcus citri (Risso.) 



This species was well represented in the collection, but unfortunately most 

 of the host plants were unidentified. The records are: Malololelei, vi,1924 

 (probably on a member of the Piperidaceae), and on the rind of lemons, iii.1924 ; 

 Vailima, 18.x. 1924 ; Suvaii, Tuasivi, 8.ii.l924 ; Manono Is., where it was attended 

 by a species of ant, 10.vi.l924 ; and Falelatai, 5.ii.l924, on Cachew. 



Text-fig. 1. — Pseudococcus cocotis (Mask.), a, posterior segments of the body of adult § ; 

 B, antenna ; c, hind leg ; d, anal cerarius ; e, penultimate cerarius. 



4. Pseudococcus calceolariae (Mask.) 



Eecorded by Swezey, Hawaiian Planters' Record, XXVIII, p. 215, 1924. 

 In view of Morrison's paper {Jour. Agric. Res., XXXI, pp. 485-500, 1925) on 

 this and closely allied species, and the confusion that exists as to the records, 

 P. calceolarias is included here for completeness, but without comment as to the 

 correctness of the determination. - -
