of femur, 90); tibia, 237 (width only 32); tarsus, 100; claw with an 

 obtuse subapical denticle. 



Antennal joints: (i) 50, (2) 80, (3) 67-70, (4) 45-50, (5) 50, (6) 

 40, (7) 37, (8) 32, (9) 60. 



Larva (in ?) elongate, 525 [*> long, 225 wide. Antennae 6-jointed, 

 measuring (i) 25, (2) 27, (3) 25, (4) 27, (5) 27, (6) 62. 



Asterolecanium delicatum (Green). 



Green's original description of this species is too brief for 

 recognition, and as it may be some years before the full ac 

 count is given in the " Coccidae of Ceylon," I offer the follow 

 ing notes, taken from J specimens received from Mr. Green: 



Scale long-oval, light lemon-yellow, 1620/4 long, 870 broad (not 

 counting fringe) ; fringe light lemon yellow, about 300^ long. 



Eulecanium fletcheri (Ckll.). 



Mr. E. Bethel has found this on juniper at Glenwood 

 Springs, Col. It is new to the Rocky Mountain region. 



Kermes gillettei Ckll. 



Ouray, Colorado, on oak (E. Bethel). This is the first 

 record from the Pacific slope. The specimens are unusually 

 small. 



Hemichionaspis theae exercitata (Green). 



This Ceylonese insect was first described as a species, and 

 then reduced to the synonymy of H. thcce. Green has recently 

 restored it, at least to varietal rank, but has given it a new 

 name, ceylonica. Of course the original name must be main 

 tained. 



Leucaspis Targ., 1869. 



It has been alleged that this name is preoccupied. There is 

 a Leucaspius, 1857, in fishes, but this may be considered to 

 differ sufficiently, I think. 



Polyclona Menge, 1856. 



This supposed genus, found in amber, must be removed 

 from the Coccidse; it is probably dipterous. Ochryocoris 

 Menge, also from amber, is probably identical with Orthezia. 



JANUARY 18, 1906.

 J. D. Patten, 2212 R street, N. W., with the President, Mr.
