The above measurements were so characteristic, differing essentially 
(being in most cases uniformly larger) from either material or de- 
scription before me, that I sent mounts, specimens in situ and notes 
to Dr. Howard, for comparison with departmental collections. In 
a letter he says; “I have asked Mr. Pergande to give it a careful ex- 
amination, and he reports that it is apparently an undescribed species. 
We have received it before, and it bears the biologic number in our 
collection ‘(5222.’ Wo have received it from Charleston and Florence, 
8. C., both in 1891.” 
In our own collections it bears the lot number 399, which refers to 
like number in accession book. It is here recorded as being received 
from Wichita, Kan., July 23, 189.5. The accompanying letter stated 
that these insects have been infesting the trees for three or four years. 
On the twigs of this same plum tree Aspidiotus anci/ltis and 
pidiotiis forbesi were present. This is the second instance of the. as- 
sociation in goodly numbers of these two species, the first being lot 
D, on crab-apple.'* 
A number of the scales of P. prmii showed the effects of parasites. 
A specimen was sent to Doctor Howard, who finds it to be Coccopha- 
(JUS lecanii Fitch. 
J‘<i rtdtorid Comstock. Plate XIX, figs. 1, 2. 
This species is ditferentiated by Comstock from its nearest ally, 
Pavlatoria proteus Curt., principally by the shape of scale of female ; 
4. Tliis lot was discussed iu this journal, vol. VIII, No. 1. p. 3. Mention is there made of the 
presence of another species besides .1. forbeat upon the crab tree, but the determination of the 
second species as .1. ancjjlus was not given at that time.
