Abstract
Nearly all of the species of Coccidœ discussed in the following paper were received for study through Dr. W. M. Wheeler of Bussey Institution, Harvard University, and most of the material considered was collected by him in person in the Canal Zone and a few adjacent parts of the Republic of Panama. Others of the specimens discussed here were collected by Mr. James Zetek, of the Bureau of Entomology, located in the Canal Zone, who has, in the course of his work for the Bureau, collected a large series of specimens of scale insects, including many interesting forms in addition to those reported on here. The remaining specimens came from Vera Cruz, Mexico, Dutch and British Guiana and Trinidad. Studies on these specimens have naturally been materially aided by the availability of the large National Collection of Coccidœ, built up through many years of work on the part of the Bureau of Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture, and the types of the new species described have been deposited in that collection.
