that he bought in Brisbane some imported American apples which had numerous 
A.Jicus on the rind; but did lie perhaps mistake the species? Its food plants 
at Brisbane he says are orange, MyrtushiUii, camphor laurel, Atlantic buxijolia, 
and Ga8taneo8permum. 
A. (.ispidioltis 8. 8/r.f) hartii Ckll. — 9 scale subcircular to oval, about 1$ mm. diam., 
moderately convex, dull brownish-gray, with a Blight purplish tint (sacchari is 
similar), exnviae shining pale straw-color. 9 with two pairs of well-developed 
lobes, branched plates, live groups of ventral glands. On yam tubers. Trini- 
dad. W.I. 
var. lintii Ckll. — Median lobes entire, as in Jiarlii; no groups of ventral glands. 
Trinidad. The median lobes of sacchari, which this resembles, are very dis- 
tinctly notched. 
A. (». subg. f) latastei Ckll. — 9 Bcale about 1| mm. diam., circular, strongly convex, 
concentrically ridged, white, with the covered ]>ale orange exuviae to one side. 
9 with median lobes large, wide apart, second small, third almost obsolete; 
four groups of ventral glands, of 5 each. Chile. 
A. (Morganella) longispinus Morg. — 9 scale dark, convex, less than a mm. broad; 
exnviae central, covered, inconspicuous. 9 with only one pair of lobes, these 
long, notched without; long simple plates, and very long spines. On Cupania 
sapida. Demerara. (Ent. Mo. Mag.. XXV, 352.) 
A. (Ckrysomphalut | mangiferae Ckll. — 9 scale circular, Battened, with central, covered, 
nipple-like CXUVifB, which are reddish. Median lobes largest, second pair 
nearly as large, third pair small, fourth rudimentary; a pair of very largo 
spine-like plates in the region of 3rd and 4th lobes. On leaves of mango. 
Jamaica. (Journ. Inst. .Jamaica, i, 255. I 
A. (Chry8omphalu8) miir.osae Comst. — 9 Bcale resembling that <>f teneibrico8U8 ; very 
dark' gray, convex, exuvisB covered, its position marked by a white dot and 
ring. .'! pairs of lobes; no group of ventral glands. On Mimosa; Tampico, 
Mexico. (2nd Cornell Rep., L883, p. G2.) 
A. (Mvlanaspis) nigropunctatus Ckll. — Much like A. obsciirus. 9 scale 3 mm. diam., 
dirty gray: exuviae Bublateral, pitch-black, with a narrow reddish margin: at 
first covered by a film of whitish secretion. 9 with live groups of ventral 
glands, cephalolater.il- 16 <>r more, caudolaterals 10 or 11, median 7 or X. On 
11 trueno," San Luis Potosi, Mexico. (Bull. 1. Tech. Ser.. Div. Ent., p. 31.) 
A. (Ifcniihvrh's'm) palmae Morg. & Ckll. — 9 scale much like that of rapax. 9 differ- 
ing by the distinct though small second and third lobes, median lobes wider 
apart, plates longer and much branched at tips, 1 groups of ventral glands. 
On cocoanut and banana, and rarely on other plants. West Indies. 
A. i Mijci 'aspis :) personatus Comst. — 9 scale very small and convex, circular, dark 
gray or black. No groups of ventral glands. West Indies. 
A. (Dia8pidiotii8) punicae Ckll. — 9 scale circular or nearly so, white, first skin shin- 
ing metallic. 9 orange, median lobes large and prominent, second pair small, 
third rudimentary: grouped glands present, i dull yellow. On pomegran- 
ate in Jamaica; on cocoanut in Dominica. (Journ. Inst. Jamaica, i, 255.) 
A variety of this on a palm at the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 
(Div. Ent., 0982), has broader lobes and a Hatter scale. It appears to be identi- 
cal with the form found by Mr. Barber on cocoanut in Dominica. This is a good 
deal like the Ceyloncse form, which Green calls A. cydonice; and wb He j)ttflica? and 
cy (Ionia seem sufficiently distinct, with the var. of punicce and the Ceylonese 
eydonia there is formed a sufficiently continuous series to call for further 
investigation. Whatever may be the final result as to the status of the species 
concerned, the interesting fact remains that here we have Diaapidiotvs running 
completely into Hemiberlesia as it passes southward. Another related species 
is A. greenii. 
A. (Chiff8omphalu8) reniformis Ckll.— 9 scale circular, diam. 2 mm., flat, pale reddish- 
brown; exuviae concolorous or slightly darker, covered, but both skins very
