In preparing the series of articles which follow, the author has had in mind the needs of the student l)eginning a systematic study of the indigenous representatives of the Coccidie. Accordingly, to facilitate their use, these papers are now brought together under one cover, and are preceded by a brief introduction. For reference and explanation of terms, an index and glossary are added. Since the purpose of this work has been to treat of species occurring in a state of nature in this latitude, but little attention has been given to those fonns dwell- ing in greenhouses. In the study of this group, the student is urged to give special thought and care to technique of the microscopical pi’eparations. Obviously, well-prepared mounts are essential to ]U'oper anatomi- cal studies. The student should not bo satisfied with simple deter- minations of species, but should eoutinue the study of the individual representatives of each species, brought together in many cases from dift'erent localities and on different hosts, in order to comprehend the variations and gradations existing within the species. INTEODUCTION. Origin of word. Gr. Kokkos, berry; specifically, the berry that grows upon the scarlet tree. Distinguishing Characteristics. The Coccid®, or scale insects, belong to the suborder Homoptera of the order Hemiptera. The Heiniptera are distinguished from insects of other orders by the presence of sucking mouth-parts, and an incomplete metamorphosis. Many of the Hemiptera possess four wings. The Coccid®, anomalous as they are, conform strictly to none of these requirements. The males have two transparent wings, and are without mouth or food-taking apparatus. The natural position of the mouth is occupied by a pair of supple- mentary eyes. Instead of a second pair of wings there exists on each side of the metathorax a small hooked appendage.' These, in some species, serve as hooks to attach or control the true wings. The males pass through a complete meta- morphosis. The female. The males and females are similar in form and structure when hatched. (See Plate V, fig. 23, and Plate XVI, fig. 3.) These mite-like creatures differentiate during growth and development. The females pass through an in- complete metamorphosis, in most eases losing the power of locomotion and becom- ing stationary bodies engaged in taking nourishment from plant tissues, and in reproduction. The life histories and habits, on account of the great variation, can be best discussed under the subfamilies. Scale insects differ from closely related forms in the following particulars: The legs in both sexes terminate in a single claw. The females are wingless. The adult males, with the exception of two or three species, possess one pair of transparent wings on mesothorax. Each wing is strengthened and controlled by a hooked appendage from the metathorax. The mouth or apparatus for taking food is wanting in the adult males, which are usually, instead, furnished with supplementary eyes. Products of the Coccidae. While this family of plant parasites are hostile to the welfare of plant-life, they nevertheless give off some products of mercantile worth. Several species of Kermes formerly afforded a red dye used by the Greeks and Romans. These insects dwell upon Quercus coceifera in the Mediterranean region. A medicinal syrup is also obtained from them. Several Coccid® produce waxy matters. Ceroplastes ceriferus, one of the Lecaniin® of India, produces white wax. The white wax of China is said to be produced by another Lecaniid, Erieerus pela. Little is known concerning this insect. It is understood that the wax is produced by the winged males. This wax was formerly much prized in China, but since the introduction of kerosene is falling into disuse. Lac is produced by Carteria lacea, still another Lecaniid in India, living on Anona, Ficus, Rhamnus, and other hosts. This lac is the shelly scale which the insect produces for covering. It is composed chiefly of resinous matter, with which there is mixed small quantity of wax, and some other substances. This insect’s body yields the red substance called lake. (V) vi Tlie Eiiro])enii scale insects used for dyes were replaced after the discovery of America by the cochineal insects: Coccus cacti, of Mexico. This insect feeds on a cactus called Nopal [Opunfia coccineUifcra) . Later this insect was intioduced into the Old World, and was established in a few places along the Mediterranean sea. In the Canary Islands it thrived so well on several species of cactus as to become an object of extensive commerce. The body tissues of these insects con- tained the colors from which the dyes were made. Aniline dyes have largely dis- placed coceid dyes. Axin, an external medicinal applicant, used also as a varnish, comes from the Mexican Coccid. Llaveia axinus. This seems to be a substance containing a peculiar acid, axinic acid. The so-called ground pearls are the encysted pupie of Coecids belonging to the genus Margarodes. These chitinous cysts, in the island of St. Vincent, are of sullieicnt size to be collected and strung for necklaces. Coccus (now Gossyparia) mannifera is a scale dwelling upon Tamarix in the Mediterranean basin. This scale exudes a honey-dew resembling honey. The Arabs use this honey-like substance for food, and call it “ Man.” It is supposed that this honey-dew or “ man ” is the real manna of the Israelites. Collection. The necessary materials for a collecting trip are: a staff witli crook handle, cigar-bo.x, package of envelopes, hand-lens, notebook, and strong sharp knife. The staff is used to draw down high overhanging limbs of trees. The cigar-box swung over the shoulder by a strap serves as a receptacle for en- velopes inclosing specimens. The hand-lens is for preliminary examination of the specimens. The notebook is to record data upon the specimens contained in consecutively numbered envelopes. The numbers in the notebook should of course correspond to the envelope containing specimens. The notes should include date of collection, food plant (and here great care should be e.xercised to secure accuracy; a handy pocket edition of Gray’s Field Botany is an almost indispensable companion), relative numbers present upon the host plant, and color of the scales. When the scales are on the trunk of the tree, the bark holding the in.seets can be removed. In case of twigs it will be more convenient to cut off the twig. When the laboratory is reached it will be found convenient to split out the center wood of the larger twigs. These twigs bearing specimens are ultimately to be ])laccd in cork-stoppered, flat-bottomed test tubes (cork-stoppered bottles will do). Adapt the length of the wood then to the length of the test tubes. The twigs, hark, or leaves bearing scales are now ready to be ])laced in small pasteboard bo.xes. An assortment of prescription boxes I find indispensable. Empty s])Ool-boxes will serve the purpose. The in- fested bark is to be left here until dry. If inclosed in the tubes before the sap is thoroughly dried out they will mould and materially damage the specimen thereon. While scales can be found in this latitude at any season of the year, the fall and early winter months are the best on account of the absence of leaves, and the presence of such forms as the adult Lccaniums, which die and fall off or are removed by sleets in the early spring months. Spring collecting should not be neglected, however, for this is the time when the males and nymphs can be most readily observed. At all times guard against the unnecessary removal of scales from their natural position on the cuticle of the host plant. The unskilled eye is sometimes deceived. Fungi and scars on the bark made by insects for the deposition of eggs, are mistaken for scale insects. Scale insects, not including gall, can be readily separated from the cuticle of the host plant without leaving an abrasion of the cuticle. Preparation for study. Under the various divisions, preparation of specimens vu for microscopical study will be discussed. Since the distinguishing character- istics rest chiefly with microscopical structure, great care and close attention should he given to technique. Terms used in discussion. In addition to the glossary found at the back accompanying the index, a brief preliminary discussion of terms may tend toward a better understanding for the beginner. Scale has reference to the covering of the insects belonging to the Diaspinse. In removing an insect of this family from its host, it will be observed that a scale or covering comes off apart from the body of the insect, and that beneath the insect there is frequently a thin whitish layer. This is the under part of the puparium and is known as the ventral scale. The part covering the insect is designated as the dorsal scale. In this work the term scale is some- times used unqualified. In such cases it refers to the dorsal scale. In the Diaspina; the last abdominal segment, frequently called the pygidium, bears the stable distinguishing characteristics. The lobes, plates, spines, circumgenital and dorsal glands are illustrated in the accompanying diagrammatic figure (fig. a), showing their relative positions in the genus Chionaspis. I’pon these rest the h ' Fig. a. Diagrammatic plan of pygldlnm of Dlo'^pina), typical of the genua Ghlonaspla.

The scale itself is an unstable character in the Diaspina*. In the Decaniinie, as will be seen, the ehitinous covering is more constant. The relative values in tlilVereu- tiation of these various structures are discussed under the species enumerated. Clnssifirulion. The separation into subfamilies of the family Coeeida* differs with different authorities. Signoret arranges the genera and species under four divisions. (Jreen groups them under ten subfamilies, and Cockerell under eleven. It is not within the province of this article to enter info the merits of the various systems, but simply to refer to those subf .milies under which the species herein- Vlll after discussed come. Tlie only question which might arise would be the disposi- tion of the forms placed under the Coecina;. an unsatisfactory group at best as now arranged. TABLE FOR DETERMINATION OF SUBFAMILIES. A.

Abdomen of larval stage, only, terminating in marked prominences. Females naked or shielded by waxy secretion. Hemicoccinoe. DIASPINAE. The subfamily, Diaspinae, the armored scales, have a separate protecting scale, covering the body and composed partly of the exuviae and partly of secreted matter. The female scale is approximately circular; the male scales arc generally elongate. The life history of the genus Aspidiotus will illustrate in general the life cycle of this group. , The members of this genus in this latitude spend the winter as almost fully developed insects. With the warmth of spring, about the first of May, maturity is attained, the males emerge from under their elongate scales and seek their mates. The eggs, in the oviparious species, are deposited beneath the scale of the female, to remain there until hatched. The most notable viviparious species is the San Jos6 scale. The oblong larva; have six well-developed legs and a pair of feelers or antennee. The sexes, at this stage, are similar. The larva; (Plate V, fig. 23) creep about in quest of suitable places to locate upon the host plant. They insert their long, filamentary sucking-tubes into the tissues of the plant. In the positions chosen the females remain for life, since they early shed their larval skin, and with the skins, the feet, antenna', and eyes. Even before this a waxy secre- tion appears upon the back. At this first moult the larval skin splits around the lateral margins, separating the dorsal and ventral halves of the insect; with the ventral half go the sheaths of the antenna; and limbs. The insect grows rapidly, and covers its increased size by wa.xy filamentary secretion, added around the margin of the dorsal larval exuvia'. At the second and last moult the skin splits as before. This covering now becomes more chitinous, and still serves as piotcction for the insect. As the female increases somewhat in size after this time, the additional covering necessary is provided for again by marginal additions of the filamentary secretion from sjieeial dorsal organs for that purpose. The male scale is generally more elongate, and under it the male passes through complete nietamorphosis. While the scale shows but one IX larval pellicle, several skins are shed, the later ones being pushed out from be- neath the seale. The male comes forth a delicate two-winged insect with six legs, without food-taking apparatus, and bearing two simple eyes in the usual position for the mouth. The life-history of but few of these scales has been carefully worked out. This phase of the subject offers a fertile and profitable field for biological study. Genera. A.

Under this subfamily there are two genera represented, Uecanium and Pulvinaria. In both the female is naked. In the former the eggs remain under the body of the female, while in the latter a cottony ovisac extends posteriorly from under the body of the scale. The larvse of both sexes in this subfamily have a pair of large anal lobes. (See Plate XVI, fig. 3.) At this stage they possess well-developed legs, and are active. Later, when these young scales have settled down, these legs and the antenna: become functionless, and may be observed in the bleached body or test of the adult insect. Further details are brought out in the discussion of the characteristics of the various species. Leeanium . A. Scale with 2 prominent tubercles. cockerelU. AA. Scale without tubercles. B.

The Homopteran family, Coccida?, in many respects anomalous and in others similar, is unique in the diversities of the se.xes and the modes of distribution. Sex and genus necessarily present differ- ences. The variations existing within a single species, and grada- tions between species, however, have proven of peculiar interest. It is with these specific differences in view that the studies upon this group have been prosecuted. It is believed that from a large series of discriminations interesting deductions might be made. The manner of preparation and method of study of this group have occupied some time. 1 will endeavor’ to give brielly an out- line of my observations and experiments upon the techniipie of the genera mentioned in this paper. The first work was done with the usual bleaching reagent, a strong solution of potassium hydrate, washed in water, transferred to fifty per cent alcohol, then to ninety- five per cent alcohol and from here to a clearing mixture composed of two parts by measure of carbolic acid crj’stals and three parts of rectified oil of turpentine, taken from this to slide and mounted in xylol-balsam. The difficulties found in this process were: dan- gers of boiling too much or of not boiling enougb, specimens had to be removed while the liquid was warm else a deposit would col- lect upon them and render them useless, material was generally more or less macerated and frequently the plates were not retained throughout the process. 2 hunter: the C0CCII)/E OE KANSAS. Another means used was to soften the specimens in warm water then transfer to fifty per cent alcohol, then to ninetj'-five per cent alcohol, from here through the clearing mixture into balsam. This I found better, in that it insured the retention of the plates present but it had the objection of not rendering old and heavily chitinized scales transparent. For a new bleaching agent, chloral hydrate, saturated solution, boiling specimens in this under cover for a few moments and also by leaving in the fluid under cover for twelve to twenty-four hours. The latter method leaving in for a day or less — gave the best re- sults, rendered the specimens transparent and kept them reason- ably firm. It did not appear to affect the plates and spines; did not leave any undesirable substances upon the specimens. From the chloral hydrate they were taken into the water and then through the process previously described. In experimenting with the action of xjdol upon the plates it was found that it rendered them very brittle and left them undesirably transparent, so that in some specimens mounted in xylol-balsam I noticed a tendency to render the plates of the same refractive index as the balsam. Glycerine as a mounting medium was tried, and it was found that specimens could be more readily taken from a chloral solution into glycerine than by any other method used. The objection to the glycerine is, of course, that permanent mounts require to be incased in cement. Glycerine jelly, I think, will largely overcome this difficulty, and I expect to test it in my sub- sequent work. Having the mounts ready for study I found daylight not always the most satisfactory light for revealing the points desired, so that the light of the Welsbach burner passed through a liter balloon flask, filled with a solution of copper sulphate, rendered the de- sired clearness by the addition of ammonia (NHj), the test being a white light thrown upon the reflector. This illuminating apparatus is spoken of in liolanischcs Practictmi, Strasburger, ihgy, and Micro- scope and Microscopical Accessories, Zeiss, No. 30, 1895. Mr. Mc- Clung, of the department of Zoology, in his work tried the ad- dition of a drop or two of saturated alcoholic solution of saffron to the fluid in the flask. This I consider advantageous; enough be- ing added to give the light a tinge of pink, which gives good con- trasts with the yellow subject. 1 had endeavored to find a stain that would hold in firmly chitinized specimens, but met with little success. This pink light, showing the necessary contrast, as it does, served the same purpose at a great saving of time and labor. ^ TV t.- ?-; ■ VJr*';' jr^^w3r;;?r!>9^ HUNTICR: IHF, COCCID-F of KANSAS. 3 The microscope used is the C.

The scales of male and female in this group, brought together from widely separated localities, conform to the description. Lots A, B, C, F and E show distinct tendency to congregate in groups and then others mass upon these. Lot G, though on old cherry trees, were few in number and only to be found upon one or two spots in three adjacent cherry trees. Lot F was most abundant upon the old bark of the trunk of the apple tree. Bark of apple tree frequently pitted. Lots D and E appeared to be dis- tributed more nearly over the bark. Of this group the following numbers of mounts of each have been studied: eight, of A; ten, of B; nine, of C; four, of G; ten, of I); seven, of E; four, of F; making in all fifty-two individuals, these agree with “Plates in- conspicuous or absent, spines prominent,” but differ uniformly in number of spines. There is in each lot, spine on median lobe agreeing with des- cription, another spine appears extentiing over the margin from the dorsal side, one beside the “second” and one beside the “third” spine, making a pair of spines, one on the ventral and one on the dorsal side, instead of one spine at “second” and “third.” This was so in all cases and in this respect the}' agree with ancyelns. The chitine at the incisions appears to be uniformly heavier than shown in theoriginal sketch. Lot D presents the greatest variations, as shown by sketches. Another form, which is very suggestive of another species, appears on same branch among this lot D. More material will be required before this j)oint can be satisfactorily de- termined. The second lobe is notched, agreeing with Professor Cockerefl’s observation, but the larger chitinous process between first and second lobe is less twisted than shown by the same author. (Tech. Ser. No. 6 , Div. Ent. , pp. 6 and 8 .) The scale is found upon trunk and branches. More abundant upon heavier limbs. 1 have found it upon the twigs and in and around the terminal buds of twigs.* ♦>Ince Uie iibovo was written 1 liavo found this scvilo upi)n cliorry and apple in An- derson county and upon ehoriy and apple In Franklin founty.

The scale of female agrees quite well with original description, except that I would not call the scale “quite convex;” slightly con- vex suits here better. Male scale agrees with description. Mature female differs from original description and figure in hav- ing two notches upon the mesal margin of the lobes. In some specimens the proximal notch is faintly marked. The drawing made from the type shows here a slight curve. The thickening of body wall as shown in original description is quite characteristic of specimens examined. In an examination of twenty mounted specimens no circumgenital glands were found. Aspidiotus feinaldi Ukll. subspecies albiventer .subsp, nov. Plate IV, Figs. 15, lO. Abundant on the trunk from the ground up. When the tree is wet the exposed ventral scales stand out almost like fine flakes of snow. In the orange exuviae, and in the mode of congregating and shape of scale, this insect favors ancyclus. The color of the scale is lighter and the structure of the female precludes the possibility of its being ancyclus. The Putnam scale prefers the branches, this scale the trunk. I have been unable to find a species described in the liter- hunter: the COCCTD/E of KANSAS. 7 ature tliat agrees with this scale, so I have offered the following description: Scale of female, grayish white, strongly resembling bark of maple, in clusters, ventral scale well developed, the white sub- stance annulated, scale circular, somewhat convyx with the cephalic margin extended, beyond the circumference, exiiviaa cephalad of center covered by white secretion, when this is removed large dark orange red exuviae appear. Scale i ^ to 2 mm. Scale of male elongate oval, about mm. in length, ventral scale well- developed, but not arranged in rings, color of dorsal scale somewhat darker. Exuviae between center and cephalic margin, covered by white secretion, showing faint trace of dot and ring, when this removed orange red exuviae appear. These exuvize are much smaller than exuviae of female scale. Adult female, obovate, dark orange in color. There are three pairs of lobes. The median lobes are p’rominent, notched on lat- eral margin, line of mesal margin extends parallel with line of meson. Chitinous processes at inner base of lobes. Second lobe pointed, erect, outer margin ranges from smooth undulating line to a margin bearing three distinct notches. This variation is shown by series of sketches (Fig. i6, a, b, c, d,). The third lobe is also erect, ranging from inconspicuous to long, slender, round lobe with notch (sketches Fig. 16, a, h, c, d,). There are two pairs of incisions, with chitinous processes; these chitinous processes remain constant. A large club-shaped process on median side of first incision, a smaller one just opposite. The process in second incision approaches a crescent. Plates are present, one or two inconspicuous caudad of first in- cision, always simple, one or two caudad second incision, gener- ally forked. There is generally one simple plate between median lobes. Spines, one on first lobe, usually two laterad of second lobe, the same may be said of the two situated laterad of third lobe. An- other pair of spines are always present on the lateral margin between the third lobe and the penultimate segment. Ihere are five groups of ventral glands; caudo-laterals range from 5 to 8, cephalo-laterals lo to 12, anterior 2 to 6. From many scales and mounted specimens.

Plate IV. Fig. i8: Plate V, Figs. ig. 20, 21, 22, 23. The variations in the anal plate of female are greater than in any of the specimens of any species studied. In fact it was the exception to find one specimen having the structure of the two sides identical. The relative size of the chitinous processes be- tween the first and second lobe remained the same, “close together and of nearly equal size,” but these rarely ever appeared under the microscope at same focal point — tliat is, the relative sizes of the two could be gained only by focusing up and down. Dorsal glands uniformly few in number, small plate just laterad of second incision always present. A large number of individual mounts have been studied and sketches of many made to illustrate their structures. The scales of this group are uniformly dark, in many cases black, the white secretion covering the exuvise of male is scant, in some cases almost wanting, leaving the black sculptured ring and dot, resembling description of A. andromclas. Others, however, have the dot and ring fairly well marked. The anal plate of female has presented many interesting fea- tures. Fig. I may be considered as an extreme. N'cry few indeed show the forks in plates so marked as they appear at a. This figure farther shows two plates caudad first incision, serrate, in this the specimen is normal. The irregular!)' shaped plates pres- ent on left side at b, between spines four and five, and absent entirely on right has been frequently observed. This figure further shows the inconspicuous plates between the median lobes. Their absence in some specimens examined could be satisfactorily ex- plained by their being broken in course of preparation. Fig. II may be taken as an average, shows only one plate caudad of first incision and this plate forked. Laterad of spine four is another spine; this is unusual. Between spines four and five (not counting incidental spine) are two irreg- ular plates on right and three on left.

In an- other specimen I find an anterior group of two with one lying be- tween this group and the right anterior lateral group. This I have shown in the sketch. This group of glands, not spoken of by Bouche or Comstock, is of interest. The plates and spines agree satisfactorily with the description.

Plat Fig. 4, Comparison of the infested twigs with photograph upon title page of bulletin No. 83 Cornell University by M. V. Slingerland, suggests a possibility of this being the same species. Later, however, in the description, Professor Cockerell is-tjuoted as associating that insect with Jugla/idis, a 7-jointed species. There being no descriptions, specimens in si/n, or slide specimens at hand the following notes are offered. Scale of female, crowded closely upon twigs of plum sometimes 2 and 3, one upon another. Color of scale pale brown; some of scales full and show no foldings, others show a row of pits on each side of longitudinal median line and sides plicate.

There is an e.xception to this, however; in the case of the trochanter and femur. Here the segments are simply marked olf by a straight line, no noticeable indentation being apparent on the margins. Tarsus bears two long slender knobbed digitules, claw bears two much shorter ami stouter dig- tules. Habitat, on plum twigs. This insect was found by the writer among the collections and bore the label ‘‘Scale bugs on plum, Kansas.’’ Reference to the lot number showed that these scales 22 KANSAS UNIVKRSITV QUAR l ERI.V . '.i’ere taken by Prof. V. L. Kellogg in 1891. The date of collection was not given but upon twigs there remained some leaves and blossoms SO that the time of the year can be satisfactorily deter- mined. A comparison with descriptions of /,. n/gositm Sig.* shows not “rugose” but plicate, not “hills” but ridges and furrows upon the sides. The plum scales are light brown. Antennas 6 and 7 jointed, never “eight”; in view of obscurit}' of segmentation, it is interesting to note that the plum scale agrees with rugosinn in that 3 exceeds part distad of 3, if 3+4 are one segment as in plate, figure 4^, but if they are as drawn in same plate, figure 4 h, joint 3 is less than all distad. Size uniformly smaller than riigosinii, plum scale elongate, ru^^osum circular. Groove in anterior tarsus not shown; posterior tarsus not wider than tibia; chaetotaxy not similar. With the Queenston scaleif — “legs well developed,” trochanter has “one” hair, coxa bears not “one” but two long and two short hairs. Length of femur, tibia and tarsus within possible bounds, but digitulesof claw not “long” but short and stout extending but little beyond claw. No further ■ literature being at hand for comparative study I sent this scale with my notes to Professor Cockerell. He says. “ This scale has much in common with L. arwciuaniin, yet seems not quite the same. I wish we knew the sub- adult (living) female and the newly hatched larva.” Professor Cockerell kindly sent me specimens of armeniacum. A comparison shows, legs similar; antennsE agree with seven segmented specimens except that 5th joint in armeniaium is shorter than in plum insect. The greatest difference appears to be in the scale itself. When bleaching, it colors the fluid a yellowish ochre; the plum scale gives off brownish coloring. Scale of armcniacmn is not plicate and shows no longitudinal median raised smooth ridge: this insect, ar- meniaiimt, is more hemispheroidal with side tpiite full; plum scale more elongate and flattened. Professor Cockerell suggested that Mr. Theo. Pergande be con- sulted since he has been working upon these fruit tree Lecaniums. Accordingly I have received the following from Mr. Pergande through Dr. Howard: “ I have examined and compared the specimens sent with mounted and dry material of I.i'i'aiuiim arnicniaiiini in our collection, and have come to the conclusion that the plum scale from Kansas ♦Translated by Mrs. T, D. A. Cockeroll. Can. Ent. Vol. 27. p. 51). Vi\ I). A. Cockerell, Ibid, p, UU. iriJNTER: I'HE COCCID.E OK KANSAS. 23 is identical with tlie above species. With regard to the difference in length of one or the other of the antennal joints, as noticed, I will say that it is simply individual variation; even in the same specimen the comparative length of either of the joints of both antenna; varies frequently more or less. There is generally also a more or less perceptible variation in size, color and shape in the same species, dependent, in a measure, on the food plant on which it may have established itself, and also on the locality. Old speci- mens, which have attained their full growth and have died a natural death, are generally darker, if prepared for the microscope, than younger individuals of the same stage and with all the pores of the germ much more distinct. As to the shape of the individual scales and their sculpturing, I find in our material of typical specimens of Lfcaniinn armeuiaciim the same variations as those mentioned.” 1 he limitation of variations within a species never fails to be of interest. With a view to setting these forth in this species the following data are given concerning the antennae: After examining the antennae of ly bleached insects from plum by means of a |'j oil immersion objective, it was found that four of this number bore 7 jointeil antenna.', two showed faint trace of suture between 3 and 4 (of the 7 jointed variety) and thirteen bore distinctly 6 segmented antennae, 3 and 4 appearing as one and about equal in length to 3 + 4 of the 7 segmented antennae. Meas- urements of antennae of representative insects will show these variations in detail. A brace is used to show that the two antennae belong to the same insect. In this connection it is well to note the variations in num- ber of segments within the individual as shown in the cases of / and i. KANSAS UNIVKKSri'V (,)UA RTKRI.Y. Lot No. of Specimen.

This species was found on trunk, branches, leaves and fruit of the citrus trees. The scales upon the trunk are darker and more convex than those on branches. Those on branches and leaves incline to be yellowish, while those on the trunk are grayish. The outlines of both remain the same (Plate XVI, Fig i) except when modified by mid rib or by bordering on branch. The scales on ivy and oleander are uniforinlj' darker than orange scales; some of them are amber colored. The marginal outline is ovate, cephalic half being the wider. These scales are also more convex than the orange scales, and show on dorsum in some cases the figure H, the transverse bars joining the marginal spikes. Antennse, legs and nymphs of all these scales agree in structure. The subject of tesselation naturally arises in this connection. Considerable attention has been paid to the bleached derm. The results obtained, however, have not been constant. With the aid of. favorable reagents and suitable stains it is hoped that some definite data may be secured which will admit of something being said upon this point at a later date.

These e.xamples vary in the cjirection of L. mirandnm, Ckll. and Parrott, ined., from Tlacotalpan, Mexico, and a study of them, together with other material, has. led me to be of the opinion that mirandnm is, after all, onl}? one of the forms of oleec."

Turtle sliaped back resembles somewhat the carapace of Chelydra serpcnlina. 7 tubercles compose median carina, the second the longest, then graduated dorsad, radiators extend down and out from tubercles. Ribs on dorsum apparent, corresponding in num- ber, position and size to the median tubercles. Ribs bear distinct elevations midway between carina and margin of body, and where ribs meet margin are to be seen protuberances corresponding in size to the median tubercles. Marginal outline forms an oval; cephalic margin bears three small tubercles, the median pointed, the ones on each side obtuse, the three being nearl)' equal in size. At the caudal extremity of longitudinal median carina is a prominent quadrangular structure, extending caudad from margin of the body.

Described from one specimen in situ on Aesculns glabra, and named in honor of Mr. P. J. Parrott of the State Agricultural College. Taken 4 miles west of Lawrence, Pebruary g, i8gg. This specimen was opened and within there was found the pupa of a parasitic hvmenoptera, which in its development had destroyed the larger part of the body of the insect, so that it could not be ascertained whether the antennas were present, rudimentary or absent. It is therefore placed provisionally in Lecaniodiaspis. The segmentation and cliitinization of ventrnm of that part of the body examined resembled the same portion of the body of pruinosus. 'J'he scale itself is quite characteristic and will, I believe, be readily recognized from the two figures accompanying this description. In this connection it is fitting to record that Professor Cockerell wishes to say that in his opinion Lecaniodiaspis artemesiie Ckll should be transferred to Solenocoeens as Solenocbceus arlemesiiC Ckll. hunter: the coccid.e of Kansas. 27 Li9caniodiaepis celtidls Ckll., sub. sp. pruiaosus sub. sp nov.

Habitat on bark of U/mns anicricana, Lawrence, April, 1898. 1 have not seen the origbial description of L. cdtidis Ckll. but I received some time ago specimens of cdtidis from Prof. Cockerell, and have made therefrom a sketch of the antenna for comparison. Antenna of />niinosiis is eight segmented; the basal segment bearing one minute hair, the second has two prominent hairs, third and fourth joints naked; fifth, six and seventh bearing each one hair; the terminal segment carries seven bristles. The whole member is short and stout. The eight jointed antenna of cdtidis is longer, more slender, and bristles were observed on the second, fifth and terminal joints, the terminal joint bearing eight. The differences in length of respective segments are shown by the measurements attending. The characteristic structures of the scales, as before stated, are distinctions of moment. The genera, Chionaspis and Puhinaria will be discussed in the next paper upon this subject. Author's edition, puhlished April r2, iSgi). ■ V^\ COCCIDiE OF KANSAS, III.

In a letter he says; “I have asked Mr. Pergande to give it a careful ex- amination, and he reports that it is apparently an undescribed species. We have received it before, and it bears the biologic number in our collection ‘(5222.’ Wo have received it from Charleston and Florence, 8. C., both in 1891.” In our own collections it bears the lot number 399, which refers to like number in accession book. It is here recorded as being received from Wichita, Kan., July 23, 189.5. The accompanying letter stated that these insects have been infesting the trees for three or four years. On the twigs of this same plum tree Aspidiotus anci/ltis and pidiotiis forbesi were present. This is the second instance of the. as- sociation in goodly numbers of these two species, the first being lot D, on crab-apple.'* A number of the scales of P. prmii showed the effects of parasites.

Anal orifice — The external opening of the intestine visible as a circular opening in the central part of the pygidium. Anal ring — A chitinous ring around the anal orifice. Anal tubercles — A pair of rounded or conical processes found one on each side of the anal orifice in the larva of Hemicoecina:. Antennic — A pair of jointed sensory organs used as feelers, found on the head. Appendages — Ovitgiowths from the body or any part of the body; used as a gen- eral term for mouth-parts, antenna;, legs and wings, or processes on the tarsi called digitules. Apterous — Wingless. Balancers — (See halteres). Carina — A keel or ridge. Carinated — Having a keel or ridge. Caudad — Towards the caudal or posterior part of the body. Caudal — Pertaining to the posterior extremity. Cephalic — Pertaining to the anterior or head end of the body. Cephalad — Towards the head. Chitin — A hard, tough, horny substance found in the skin and hard parts of insects. Circumgenital glands — (Also called grouped glands, ventral glands and spin- nerets). Small circular glands arranged round the genital orifice in groups resembling bunches of grapes. Compressed — Flattened laterally. Coxa — Basal joint of the leg. Cuticle — Thin outer skin. Depressed — Flattened from above. Digitules — Appendages often found on the feet of coccidw.

Oviposition— The act of laying eggs. Parasitised — Affected by parasites. Parthenogenesis — Reproduction by the female without intercourse with the male, by internal budding. Pellicles — Exuvise. Plates, or squames— Broad, flat, horny, transparent organs found along the posterior and lateral edges of the body of some of the Coccidae. Process — Any noticeable projection or extension of the body. Puparium— Covering scale of the Diaspina;. Pupa — The chrysalis. Pygidium — Caudal portion of the atidomcn of the Diaspina; formed by the fusion of a number of segments. Sac — The cottony covering secreted by some Coccida:. Scale— The covering of the Diaspinse, formed of cast-off skins and excretions, also the waxy covering of the male Lecanid. The word is often used as a general term for any insect belonging to the family of Coccida; whether they produce a scale or not. Secretion — Matter produced by the various glands of the body. It may be made of closely-woven fibers as in the Diaspina;, or be waxy, cottony, or mealy. Secretory — Concerned in the process of secretion. Segments, Somites — The transverse divisions of the body. Seta — A bristle or long, stiff hair. Setiferous — Bearing setae. Somites — ( See segments ) . Spatulate — Flattened and expanded at the tip. Si)innerets — The secretory organs found in various parts of the body, consisting of internal tubes terminating in pores, spines or conical hairs. In the Diaspina: there are found groups of spinnerets in the pygidium, called ven- tral, grouped, or circumgenital glands. Spiracles — External openings of the trachea;. Squames — (See plates). Suctorial — Having sucking mouth-parts. Tarsi — The distal joints of the leg succeeding the tibia. Tarsal — Pertaining to the tarsi. Test — The waxy, glassy, or horny covering of various Coccida;. Tibia — The joint of the leg between the femur and the tarsi. Trochanter — The joint between the femur and tlie coxa, and usually fused with the femur. Truncate — Having the appearance of having the extremity cut off by a plane parallel to the base. Ventral — Pertaining to the under .side of the insect. Ventral scale — The part of the scale under the insect. Wax glands — Glands .secreting wax, found in the pygidium as circumgenital glands; also in other parts of the body, hut of different structure.
