280 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



agrees perfectly with the description. The material left by Mr. G. C. 

 Davis, on which he based his article on "Mealy Bugs and Their Allies"!^ 

 was examined and found to agree with both the description and the 

 recently collected specimens. As no description of the adult female has 

 as yet been found by the writer, it was thought that one might be of 

 some interest. 



The adult female measures a little more than two millimetres in 

 length, is reddish-brown in colour, covered with a coating of waxy or 

 mealy secretion. The legs are dirty yellow in colour. From the sides 

 project from 15 to 17 (usually 17) waxy processes, forming a fringe 

 around the body in the usual manner, with the shortest filaments near 

 the head, and those near the tail considerably longer, sometimes one- 

 third as long as the body. The antennae are 8-jointed ; joint i is 

 swollen, as broad as long ; 2 and 3 subequal, each about as long as i ; 

 4, 5, 6 and 7 subequal, a little over half as long as 2 or 3 ; 8 usually a 

 little longer than 5 and 6 joined. There is considerable variation in 4, 

 it is sometimes smaller than 5, 6 or 7, and sometimes slightly larger. 

 The legs are dirty yellow, in length the tarsus is slightly more than half 

 the tibia, which about equals the femur. Digitules 4 ; the 2 superior 

 long and slender, the 2 inferior shorter and more stout. (The digitules 

 were not distinct, but appeared as described.) Anal tubercles not very 

 prominent, with a mass of small glandular spots, and bearing one long 

 hair, with sometimes several smaller ones. Among the glandular spots 

 are placed two conical projections or processes on each tubercle. These 

 processes are from two to three times as long as broad at the base. 



The figures of the antenna and leg (Fig. 34) are from drawings made 

 from the Ithaca specimens in 1893.
