Under the title Coccidae of the Philippine Islands, 2 Miss Eliza- 
beth Robinson published in 1917 an account of the species of the 
Coccidae then known from the Islands, and described some new 
species in the family, subfamily Diaspinae. In the meantime 
and subsequently I have received or obtained a considerable 
number of lots of material of the nondiaspine subfamilies for 
study, mostly through sendings of specimens for determination to 
Dr. L. 0. Howard, chief of the Bureau of Entomology; and I 
have also worked over the specimens from the Philippines now 
in the United States National collection of Coccidae with the 
result that a number of species have been added to the list 
hitherto known from the Philippines, and through the oppor- 
tunity for examining type specimens of a number of the species, 
different conclusions from those of Miss Robinson in regard to 
the identity of several of the species listed by her have been 
reached. In view of the large amount of material examined 
and the changes in synonymy and identity noted, it has been 
considered advisable to prepare a paper covering the nondias- 
pine species of the family in their entirety, even where no new 
information is added to that given by Miss Robinson. This 
paper is supplementary to hers to the extent that no host or 
distribution records given by her are repeated. 
I am indebted to Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, Mr. D. B. Mackie, 
Mr. R. C. McGregor, Prof. C. F. Baker, Mr. Geo. Compere, and, 
through the Director of the Philippine Bureau of Science, Prof. 
C. S. Banks for material for study from the Islands. No effort
