The following list of scale insects aphids has also been kindly 
identified by Mr E. E. Green, the well-known entomologist 
during the year :— 
1. Gymnaspis grandis, nov. sp. on coco de mer husks. 
2. Ischnaspis filiformis, Douglas, on palm oil leaves, coco¬ 
nut and coffee leaves. 
3. Aspidiotus dictyospermi, Morg,-—On Jasminum, Thum- 
bergia grandifiora Pandanus utilis and on coconut leaf bases. 
4 Aspidiotus lataniae sign.—On coconut leaf bases and 
thumbergia grandifiora and on fruits of bitter and bergamotta 
oranges. 
6. Aspidiotus trilobitiformis on Beaumontia grandifiora. 
6. Perlatoria pergandei, Comstock, on Thumbergia gran- 
diflora. 
7. Pulvinaria antigoni, Green, on Latana camara and 
Melia Azedarichta. 
8. Hemiclnonaspis aspidistrse on Areca nut leaves, on 
Draccena sp. and on Pandanus utilis. 
9. Cerataphis latanise on vanilla leaves, seems like all 
other Aphids to be doing much less damage than scale insects in 
the Colony. 
10. Mytilaspis sp. nov. on coconut leaf bases at Silhouettec 
11. Aspidiotus ansei sp. nov. on coconut leaves at Anse 
aux Pins. 
From the above list it can be seen that no less than four 
scale insects were found to be attacking coconut leaves and two 
of these were insects new to Science and occurring only in Sey¬ 
chelles.
