A New Species of Pseudodiaspis (Hemiptera; 



Coccidae). 



By (i. F. IM-.KKIS. Stanford L'ni\ ersity, California. 

 The exact nature of the genus Pseudodiaspis, as I have else- 

 where 1 pointed out, is doubtful, but 1 have previously used the 

 genus for the reception of certain species of a more or le:-^ 

 Diaspis-like type in which the circumgenital pores arc lacking 

 and the gland spines few or absent. As at present constituted 

 the genus is represented only in the southwestern part of the 

 United States and in Mexico. I am here describing a new 

 species from this area, which 1 likewise refer for the present 

 to this genus.
