Although a large variety of plant-galls are known in South Africa, only four have so far been determined to be caused by Coccids. These are of particular interest because no two of them are similar, and more remarkable still is the fact that no two of the insects belong to the same genus, nor apparently to the same sub-family. Under these circumstances it has been thought advisable to group them together without reference to their systematic position in this paper. The characters of the galls and insects may be seen from Plates iii and iv.
* The numbers applied to species and to the figures on the Plates follow on from those of Part I in Trans. Roy. Soc. S. Africa, v, 2, pp. 65–194, 1915.
