But there is a species in New Holland, found on the leaves of the Eucalyptus, which emits a secretion very similar to that of Dr.Livingstone's species.
This Australian secretion (and its insect originator) is known by the name of wo-me-la, and, like Dr.Livingstone's, it is scraped off the leaves and eaten by the aborigines as a saccharine dainty.

The insects found beneath the secretion, brought home by Dr.Livingstone, are in the pupa state, being flattened, with large scales at the sides of the body, inclosing the future wings of the insect.

The body is pale yellowish-colored, with dark-brown spots.

It will be impossible to describe the species technically until we receive the perfect insect.

The secretion itself is flat and circular, apparently deposited in concentric rings, gradually increasing in size till the patches are about a quarter or a third of an inch in diameter.
