hairs, two short and spine-like and one very long ; the second has 3, two 

 short and one long ; the third has 1 long hair ; the fifth, 3; the seventh, 2 ; 

 and the eighth, 10; all of medium length. Legs ordinary, with the coxa, 

 140 ; width coxa, 88. Femur with trochanter, 192 ; width trochanter, 60. 

 Tibia, 160; width, 28. Tarsus, 80; width, 24. Claw, 28. Spines of 

 the lateral clefts in threes, one very long, not stout, 88 long; two short 

 and small, 28 long. The large marginal spines are practically the same 

 as those of innumerabilis, 36 and 40 long, but in the short, spine-like hairs 

 of the margin they differ in being placed behind the large spines, whereas 

 in innumerabilis they are in front. 



Hab. — On maple at Kansas City, Kansas, (C. H. Swobode.) Col. 

 auct., at Lawrence ; Kansas, on honey locust, Col. S. J. Hunter, after 

 whom I have the pleasure of naming this species, for the good work he 

 has done in the publication of his studies in the Coccidce of Kansas. 



Pulvinaria Hunteri is evidently a native species and very distinct 

 from any hitherto found in America. 



Pulvinaria Ehrhorni, n. sp. — £ scales dark brown. Ovisac clear 

 white, texture as in innumerabilis, and smaller. The shape of the scales 

 under cover glass is practically round, although some of the smaller 

 individuals are somewhat pyriform in shape, 4 and $}4 mm. in diameter. 

 After prolonged boiling in caustic potash, the derm is strongly stained 

 with brown ; texture tough and thick. Gland pits numerous, of two sizes. 

 Margin spines thin, sharp and inclined to be curved at their end, those of 

 the area at the posterior cleft longest, 44 long, while those anteriorly are 

 only 24 long. Spines of the lateral incisions in threes, one long and stout, 

 68 in length ; two short and stout, 36 long. Anal plates, heart-shaped ; 

 each plate with three small spines at tip, and three larger bristles on the 

 outer margin. Front leg: Coxa, 120; femur, with trochanter, 220; 

 tibia, 128; tarsus, 88 ; claw, 28 long. Width: Coxa, 120; trochanter, 

 64 ; tibia, 32; tarsus, 24; with one long stout bristle on the coxa, and 

 one on the femur, with two shorter ones on the trochanter. Antennas, 

 8-jointed : 3 longest, 4 and 5 next, and in some individuals nearly equal ; 

 1 is next, then 8, 6 and 7 are shortest and nearly equal. The first joint 

 has one long and one short hair ; the second, two long; the third, one ; 

 the fifth, two; the sixth, one; the seventh, two; and the eighth, nine;
