Kermes olee, Bernard, Mém. Hist. Nat. Provence, ii. p. 275, t. 2. fig. 25 (1788). 
Hab. Mexico: various localities; see Townsend, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc. 1897, p. 184 ; 
Panama: on Pstdium (Dolby-Tyler). 
mirandum, Ckll. & Parrott, subsp. nov. 
Q. Scale 34 millim. long, 23 broad, 2 high; hemispherical, with vague but discernible indications of the 
H-ridges of Z. olee. Brown, varying from a dark chestnut to ochrevus, the lighter forms showing under 
a lens innumerable yellow specks crowded on a dark ground; in addition, the seale is spotted all over 
with raised points of white glassy secretion, giving it a remarkably pretty appearance. 
Skin with the usual polygonal markings of Saissetia ; the polygons vary from 28 x 47 » to 39 x 42 yw, with the 
central gland 14x19 to 16x19 p. 
Legs with the coxa 99-115 4; femur with trochanter 182-190; tibia 151— 152; tarsus 90-99; claw 16. 
Antenne 8-segmented, segments measuring in p:—(1) 39- 42, (2) 33, (8) 59-62, (4) 45-59, (5) 19-39, 
(6) 17-31, (7) 12-22, (8) 39. One 7-segmented antenna was found, with these measurements :— 
(1) 39, (2) 36, (8) 59, (4) 56, (5) 17, (6) 25, (7) 47. 
Newly-hatched larva (dried) dull brownish orange varying to apricot colour, without markings. 
Hab. Mexico: Tlacotalpam in Vera Cruz, April 19, 1898, on Adutilon, sp., in a pot 
at the hotel (Townsend). 
This was described as a distinct species, but since then specimens have been seen 
which connect it with Z. olew. 
11. Lecanium hemisphericum. 
Lecanium hemisphericum, Vargioni-Tozzetti, Studi sulle Cocciniglie, 1867, p. 27. 
Hab. Mexico: Laguna, Carmen I. (Townsend); Panama: on Gardenia (Dolby-Tyler). 
This is L. coffee of authors, but probably not of Walker, whose brief description 
indicates LZ. oleew rather than L. hemisphericum. This was pointed out to me by 
Mr. Theo. Pergande, who further states that he saw some authentic L. coffee in the 
Berlin Museum last year, and they were L. olee. 
Prof. Townsend has more recently found it at Vera Cruz, Mexico, on potted plants 
of Gardenia brought from Orizaba.
