THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 335 



hairs, about seven. Legs apparently wanting. Derm colourless, with 

 the posterior half showing small round gland-pits. Posterior incision 

 very long. Anal plates and around the anal area dark yellow. Newly- 

 hatched larv?e dark ochreous, of the ordinary type, indistinctly 6-jointed, 

 seemingly with only 5 distinct joints : joint r (20), 2 (24), 3 (56), 4 

 (32), 5 (52). Front leg : coxa 44 ; femur and trochanter 80 ; tibia 56 ; 

 tarsus 48 fi long. Anal tubercles with one long bristle and two short 

 spines. Rostral loop large. 



Hab. — On Linus Austriaca, London, Ont. Coll., Mr. John Dear- 

 ness. Received since from Prof. E. P. Felt, State Entomologist of New 

 York. Prof. Felt's scales were taken at Kierner, N. Y., and are seemingly 

 rare, as he found only a few at this time. Mr. Dearness found his in 

 quantities. In each case the scales were attached to the crowns of the 

 leaves. As to the newly-hatched larvre of Lecanium and Eulecanium, I 

 wish to remark that in all the species yet studied by me, in the legs the 

 tarsus is always shorter than the tibia. Mr. Maskell, Trans. N. Z. Inst., 

 Vol. XXVIII. , 1895, figures the larva of a typical Lecanium, and says of 

 the legs that the tibiae are shorter than the tarsi. He does not say of 

 what species, however. 



Eulecanium Lymani, n. sp. $ . — Scale red - brown, distinctly 

 pointed at each end, convex. Texture very thin, 3 and 4 mm. long, 2^ 

 broad, ij^ high- Antennse 6- and 7 -jointed. 



Measurements of joints in fi : 

 Joint 



Middle leg : coxa 60 ; femur and trochanter 140 ; tibia 100 ; tarsus 

 64 jj. long. Marginal spines short, sharp, 20 [>. long, easily lost in boiling. 

 Derm yellowish ; no pits observed. 



Hab. — On a young oak at Quebec. The tree was 10 ft. high, grow- 

 ing by the roadside, adjoining a grove of trees, and quite a distance from 

 any farm, house or garden. The upper part of the tree was very badly 

 affected. Collected by Mr. Henry H. Lyman, after whom I have the 

 pleasure of naming the species. Allied to such species as Eulecanium 

 Maclurarum, Ckll. It seems to be very distinct and much different from 

 any other Eulecanium found to infest oak trees. Just recently the 

 Dominion Entomologist sent me the same thing on oak. Coll., Miss 

 Lucy I. May, at North Hatley, Quebec.
