Extract

The following species of mealybugs have been collected from Coffea arabica in Kenya Colony :—

Pseudococcus lilacinus, Ckll.

Pseudococcus citri, Risso.

Pseudococcus simulator, sp. n.

Pseudococcus virgatus, Ckll.

Pseudococcus perniciosus, Newst. & Willc.

Pseudococcus longispinus, Targ.

It is possible that additional species may be collected, especially from the coffee districts of Western Kenya, which are very distant from Nairobi, but undiscovered species, if they exist, can be little more than entomological rarities.
