Notes on Scale-Insects (Coccidae).—Part I

Abstract

During the past few months a large amount of Coccid material has been submitted to me for identification through the Imperial Bureau of Entomology. A large proportion of the species came from Uganda where they were collected by the Government Entomologist, Mr. C. C. Gowdey ; smaller collections were also received from other parts of Africa, including Zanzibar ; and from Barbados from Mr. John R. Bovell, Superintendent of Agriculture. Nearly all of the new species which have so far come to hand are described in this paper ; and records and descriptions of other species are also given where it has been thought desirable to do so.
