Maskell, [Read before the Wellington Philosophical Society, 25th August, 1886.] Plate I. It has long been known that, in common with the Aphididce,PsyUidcE, and other Ehynchota, the Coccids secrete a glutinousfluid, which has received the name of honeydew. Inthe other families mentioned, this fluid serves to attractand to feed various insects : thus, for example, Aphides arecommonly visited by ants, which devour the honeydew, andeven, it is said, go so far as to tickle the Aphides, in orderto make them secrete additional fluid. Whether the secretionof Coccids may serve as food for other insects is not have never noticed anything tending to this idea: often,minute dipterous and hymenopterous insects may be seenamongs
