Very common under the rough bark on the trunks of maples in Man- 

 hattan, Kans. Collected Sept. i8, 1898. 



" The species is closely allied to Aspidiotus Fernaidi, Ckll., which 

 occurs on honey locust in INlassachusetts, but differs from it by the 

 narrower, notched, median lobes and the more numerous glands in the 

 groups." 



It is with the greatest pleasure that I dedicate this species to Prof 

 T. D. A. Cockerell, who first led me to study the Coccida;, and has given 

 me his valuable assistance and encouragement while studying them. I 

 I am also indebted to him for the quoted passages, which I have taken 

 from his manuscript. 



Scales were collected from Juneberry in the same vicinity as the 

 maples, which intergrade between the maple insect and Fernaidi. "They 

 constantly agree with the maple species in having many glands in the 

 groups, but some have lobes as in the maple species, while others have 

 lobes just as \\\ Fernaidi. (Fig. 10.) Some of the Juneberry specimens

can only Stand as Fernaidi, van, for they differ in no tangible character 

 except the rather more numerous glands in the groups." The number 

 of spinnerets for the Juneberry specimens are as follows: median, 2-3; 

 cephalolaterals, 8 to 18; candolaterals, 8 to 13. In exterior appearance 

 the scales resemble the maple specimens, but are not so numerous nor so 

 evenly distributed, being found in small separate clusters. Collected in
