ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
PsYLLIDiE. 
Anisostropha Jicus (Linn.). Frauenfeld notices the habits and gives a 
detailed description of this species (Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvii. pp. 
801-803). From the occurrence of irregularities in the venation of the wings 
of this species, he tabes occasion to remark upon the frequency of such 
irregularities among the T&yllidce \ the variation is almost always confined to 
one wing. Frauenfeld gives figures {1. c. p. 804) of wings belonging to the 
3 genera Anisostropha, Trioza, and Psylla, showing the normal 'and abnormal 
venations. 
Aleurodid^. 
Aleurodes. Frauenfeld (Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvii. pp. 793-801) 
notices the occun-ence of species of this genus in great abundance on cer- 
tain plants in hothouses, and indicates the species described by various 
authors. Of these he cites 17, of which, however, A. duhia (Steph.)= Conio- 
pteryx tineiformis (Curt.) and A. gigantea (Steph.) = Con. aleurodiformis 
(Ourt.)j A. dubia (Pleeger nec Steph.) (Hal.), with which A. 
phyllicece (Bouch4) is also probably identical. A. coeois (Curt.) is said not to 
belong to the genus. The species observed by the author in the hothouses 
of the Vienna Botanic Gardens is identified by him with A. vaporariorum 
(Westw.), and he gives a full description of it in its various stages {1. c. p. 798). 
lie also describes a new species. 
Aleurodes euphorhice, sp. n., F. Low, Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvii. 
p. 746, Vienna, on Euphorbia peplus. 
Aleurodes jelinekii, sp. n., Frauenfeld, 1. c. p. 799, on Viburnum tinus at 
Miramai*. 
CoCCID^E. 
Notes by Signohet on species of Aspidiotus and other Coccidce will be found 
in BuU. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1867, pp. iii, xvi, xxx. 
Giuaud notices Coccus festucce (Fonsc.) and Aspidiotus quercicola (Bouchd) 
and their hymenopterous parasites. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1867, pp. Ixxvii- 
Ixxviii. 
W. W. Saunders notices 2 species of Coccus which attacked the bulb of 
an orchid from New Granada. Proc. Ent. Soc. 1865, p. 116. 
Targioni-Tozzetti (Oomptes Rendus, Ixv. pp. 246-247) gives the analysis 
of the wax of Coccus caricce, with remarks upon other wax-giving species. 
Coccus cryptus, sp. n., Kawall, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1867, p. 122, on the petioles 
of Salix acutifolia. 
Anoplura. 
Giebel publishes (Zeitschr. fiir die ges. Naturw. xxviii. p. 897) a list of 
the species of this group contained in the University Museum at Halle. He 
enumerates only 16 species. The notes, which are derived from Nitzsch’s 
MS., include brief characters of Ilcematopinus clavicornis (Nitzsch) on Merio- 
nes, and H. tuberculatus (Latr.) on Bos bubalus. 
Goureau (Insectes nuisibles, pp. 198-206) indicates the general natural 
history of the insects of this group, and describes the species which infest 
man and the principal domestic animals.
