Pemalonga. {Leeuwen-Reijnvaan) , 1 male and 1 female, on Eu- 
genia malaccensis, April 10, 1912. Ceylon, Peradeniya (A. 
Rutherford) , 9 males and females from galls on leaves of Eugenia 
malaccensis, May 12, 1913 (described as Trioza eugenise). 
This appears to be a widely distributed species in the South 
Pacific in tropical Asia, making galls on Eugeyiia malaccensis 
(known also as Jambosa domestica) . The name Trioza euge- 
nise, applied to some newly emerged Ceylonese representatives 
of this species, was preoccupied by an Australian species named 
by Froggatt, but subsequent study shows the species to belong to 
Megatrioza and furthermore to be synonymous with Kirkaldy’s 
T. vitiensis. The Fiji specimens before me bear no identifica- 
tion mark indicating that they were examined by Kirkaldy, but 
they agree well with his description of T. vitiensis and probably 
are paratypes in as much as the date of collection and locality 
are identical in both lots.
