ordinary, with 8 long hairs {lyo/i). Caudal lobes very stout and long 

 (loo/x by Sofx broad), cone-shaped, with long stout setre about i8o/x, and 

 several stout spines. 



This species resembles £. borealis, Ckll., in having 8-jointed antennae, 

 but differs in other respects very much from it. Named in honour of Dr. 

 L. O. Howard, Entomologist of the Dept. of Agriculture, Washington, 

 D. C. 



Habitat. — On Qiierais sp., Calaveras Valley, Santa Clara Co., Cal.

This species is very closely allied to E. artemisice, Kuw,, but is 

 a smaller. species, differs in the antennse, and does not infest the root and 

 trunk of the plant. 



Habitat. — On Artemisia sp., Catalina Island, Cal. 



I also found Saissetia oiece, Bern., on Ehtis integrifolia, small 

 specimens about 2)4 mm. long by 2^4 broad, not very convex. Antennas 

 averaging this formala : ;;;, 8 (2, 4), 5, i (6, 7). Aspidiotus rapax^ 

 Comst., was also found on the same plant and other shrubs.
