1. Sub-family Diaspinae. 
Aspidiotus eucalypti Maskell, in Trans. Roy. 8oc. S.A., XI, 102 (1887-8), in a 
paper " On some South Australian Coccidse," with Plate xii, fig 1. Found on various 
species of Eucalyptus. 
At Trans. N.Z. In^t., XXIV, ii (1891), Maskell says, " I regret that the figure 
Id of Plate xii in the S.A. Trans, does not sufficiently exhibit the deep transverse 
groove in the adult female, which is so marked a feature of it." 
Chionaspis assimilis Maskell, in Trans. Roy. Sec. S.A., XI, 102 (1887-8), with 
Plate xii, fig. 2. Found on various species of Eucalyptus (often intermingled with 
Aspidiotus eucalypti). Chionaspis fcrmosa Green (Proc. Linn. Sec. N.S.W., XXIX, 462, 
1904) ). On the underside of the leaves of E. tereticornis&t Young, N.S.W., and also 
on an undetermined species in the Goulburn Valley, Victoria. 
Maskellia globosa. Under the title " A Gall-making Diaspid," Mr. Claude Fuller, 
Agric. Gaz. N.S.W., VIII, 579 (1897), with a plate, describes a new genus as above, 
found on the twigs of E. gompJiocephala, the Tewart of Western Australia. It is, however, 
by no means solely a Western Australian insect, and the fact that I have received it 
from the following Eucalypts in New South Wales, shows that intermediate localities 
only require to be looked for : 
On E. crebra and E. dealbata, Pilliga Scrub, near Narrabri (Dr. J .B. Cleland). 
On E. oleosa, Line No. 11, Ballandri Estate, near Narrandera (W. D. Campbell). On 
E. populifolia, Pilliga Scrub, near Narrabri (Dr. J. B. Cleland). On E. quadrangulata t 
Nundle district, " where it often destroys large masses of branchlets." (Forest Overseer 
Mattsson). On E. resinifera, Oatley, near Sydney (J. H. Camfield). On E. rostrata 
(young trees), Darlington Point, Leeton (W. D. Campbell). 
2. Sub-family Lecaniinaj. 
Ctenocniton eucalypti Maskell on Eucalypts. (Froggatt in Proc. Linn. Soc. N.8.W., 
XXI, 382, 1896). 
3. Sub-family Dactylopina;. 
Under the title " Notes on Australian Coccidae (Scale Insects)" Mr. Froggatt, 
Agric. Gaz.. N.S.W., XI, 99 (1900), gives a popular account of Eriococcus. He says 
that the species confine their attacks to native trees, chiefly young Eucalyptus, Casuarina, 
Lsptospermum. They rarely (so far) attack garden plants in Australia. E. Tepperi 
Maskell was first collected on Eucalyptus globulus and Bursaria spinosa. Mr. Froggatt, 
op. cit., p. 106, says that he has found it as rather a common species upon the bark of 
the larger branches of several species of Eucalypts about the coastal districts of New 
South Wales and also at Albury. 
Then in Froggatt's " Australian Insects," p. 376 and figure 167, we have " The 
cosmopolitan genus Eriococcus has seventeen Australian species. Several species, 
enclosed in their egg-shaped, white-felted sacs, are very common in the forest, clustering 
over and often killing the young trees. E. coriaceus varies from white to yellow in colour; 
the sacs are oval, with a distinct anal opening on the summit ; they infest the foliage
