shorter, and the scale is quite differently colored. It also resembles C. 
dictyospermi (Morgan), but differs at once by the short club-shaped glands 
and the median lobes notched on inner side. 
Fiorinia phantasma n. sp. (Figs. 6, 7.) 
Female scale about 1.25 mm. long, of the usual elongate form, very pale greyish 
ochreous, very inconspicuous on the whitish surface of the under side of the leaves of 
Neolitsea; first skin elongate oval, extending beyond anterior end. 
Adult female pale yellow, during gestation with the abdominal segments con- 
tracted; pygidium with median lobes widely divergent, not greatly produced, their 
inner margin with 4 to 6 teeth; no distinct additional lobes, but margin with triangu- 
lar dentiform: projections as shown in the figure; two pairs of large spines on each 
side, as figured; lateral margins anterior to pygidial area parallel; circumgenital 
glands with posterior lateral groups each 10 to 18 orifices, anterior lateral of 10, 
median group of 5; antennz close together, without any stiff spine, between them is 
a serrate plate. | 
Second stage female elongate; pygidial structure not unlike that of F. fiorinia, 
with well developed narrow second lobes. 
Male scale white, parallel sided, broad, with pale yellowish first skin. 
Hab.— On Neolitsea, on under side of leaves, Mt. Makiling, Philippine Is., Jan. 
31, 1914 (C. F. Baker 2370). 
Closely related to F. saprosme Green, but differing conspicuously in the 
shape of the abdomen and the number of circumgenital glands. Also allied, 
but not so closely, to F. thee Green. 
Pseudaonidia Cockerell. 
The genus Pseudaonidia was revised by Mr. C. L. Marlatt in Proceedings 
Entomological Society of Washington, ix (1908), pp. 131-141, fifteen forms 
being recognized. Three of these belong to Selenaspidus, which appears to 
be a sufficiently distinct genus, and has been accepted as such by Lindinger, 
who has added to it several new species from Africa. True Pseudaonidia has 
also received some additions from various parts of the Old World. In 
Marlatt’s revision, just cited, various North and South American localities 
are given for species of this genus, but in every case these represent intro- 
duced forms, brought from the Old World on plants, and here and there 
becoming established. The Monthly Bulletin of the Californian Commis- 
sion of Horticulture, published at Sacramento, gives lists of the insects 
_ Intercepted by the quarantine officers at San Francisco, and it is shown that 
every year many consignments of plants arrive from J apan, infested with 
Pseudaonidia paeonie and P. duplex. Many years ago Professor C. H. T. 
Townsend collected a remarkable new Pseudaonidia in the State of Vera
