THE MEALY BUGS. {Dacfiflopiu--^ fitri, liisso, and I>. Jomj'nipiiivx, Targ-Tozz.) Tliere are two mealy bugs found on \ines under glass and on many other plants in tliis country, where they do considerable damage. Tlie common species, I>. ciiri, has also been found out of doors on the iv^'-clad walls of a hothouse at Kew and ill a few otbicr places, Ijut Kewstead tells us lie has not known it thrive long in sueli places. The difference be- tween these two white mealy Coccids can at once be seen ; cilrl has short pmcesses, Imujisiii II ii:< very long ones. They slielter in crevices and under the skin of the vines, where tlieir white woolly secretions soon cause them to be detected. In this country under glass the mealy bugs breed all the year round. The adult L. cihi female is elongated oval and covered with white mealy wax, at the articulations of the segments, and the waxy marginal appendages are seen to differ from those of D. luiKjiqnuns. The length varies from ^V t(i rather more than -^ inch. The male is winged and is found in summer in liot weather. The colour is reddish-brown and mealy, tlie two wings with intense blue iridescence and the abdomen with t\vo long caudal filaments. D. cifrl is a "reat pest out of doors on oranges in South pAirope.
