defends his adoption of Kermes as a generic name, and, op. cit. Bull, 
pp. cclvii. & cclviii., gives an analysis of pt. xv. of this work, comprising 
the ‘ Dactylopites.’ Some new species are named (but not described) 
and Eipersia, Westwoodia, and Icerya indicated as new genera. 
J. Lichtenstein, op. cit. Bull. p. cci., notes that Signoret in 1869 
placed the genus Chermes in the Aphididce, and points out the con- 
fusion likely to arise from using the word Kermes here. Signoret 
replies, 1. c. p. ccxxix.
