NEW STATE RECORD

D.R. Miller tentatively identified Hawaii specimens as Ceroplastes poss. rusci , but noted that these had more stig-

matic setae than typical C. rusci and seemed slightly larger. Slide-mounted specimens were forwarded to Ana Lúcia B. G. Peronti, Universidade Federal de São Carlos, as she worked on the revision of the genus in Brazil. Peronti subsequently provided a firm identification as Ceroplastes eugeniae Hall. Previous notes of Ceroplastes rusci collections should be changed to C. eugeniae .
