This is an introduced species, recorded from New Zealand and Australia; almost cosmopolitan in its range, on many garden shrubs, such as Camellia, Euonymiis, Brassia, Phaius, &c. It is the common hothouse scale in England and France, appearing on the underside of the leaves, where, after the adult female has deposited her eggs, she usually shrivels up and, falling off, leaves behind her the white cottony ovisac enveloping the eggs. Newstead says : "' Adult female in life distinctly cordate, but becoming more wrinkled after gestation. Colour pale yellow; lower half of the body mottled with reddish brown or brightly ochreous; 2-3 mm. in ; The ovisac, either curved or straight, is usually five to eight times the length of coccid. 66L Pulvinaria floccifera. Cat. Coccidae, p. 132. Pidvinaria greeni, (Fig. 4). This fine species comes from Condobolin, New South Wales, infesting one of our inland scrub trees {Myoporum deserti). I have named it in honour of Mr. E. E. Green, who has assisted me so much in this work. Adult female after gestation, buried in the ovisac, measuring with the surrounding ovisac, i inch. Much wrinkled, yellow- ish brown, mottled with reddish brown; ovisac white, projecting behind the coccid, broadly oval and convex, with the cottony secretion forming three distinct parallel ridges behind her. Im mature female, semi-transparent to yellowish green, oval convex, broadest in front, • the outer margins finely crenulated. Male pupa
