Itis therefore not only convenient, but even necessary, to some-what amend the generic characters ; and this being done I canavoid the danger of overloading the study of Coccids with anew genus founded upon insufficient distinctions. Mr. Douglas, having seen only one species, expresses muchdoubt as to the group in which Prosopophora should be two Australian species (or varieties) clearly show it to beAcanthococcid, and not far removed from Planchonia : indeed,I have hesitated long before separating it from that seems, indeed, to be n
