quite satisfactory, but there remain certain very important de- 

 tails that were overlooked. 



The anal ring is not hairless, as was stated in the description, 

 but bears six very small set«. Due to the heavy chitinization of 

 the body these are usually somewhat difficult to see. The an- 



tennee are 3-segmented. The 

 dermal pores are in part tri- 

 locularbut the majority are cir- 

 cular. The circular pores are 

 in part multilocular and sessile 

 and in part without distinct 

 loculi, those of the latter type 

 being borne at the end of short 

 ducts. 



In the first stage larva the 



anal ring bears six slender hairs, 



not ^'four spiny hairs." The 



second stage differs from the 



adult only in the membranous condition of the derm and the 



smaller spiracles. 



The adult male is apterous. The antennae are 8-segmented 

 and somewhat clavate. The body is entirely destitute of hairs 

 except for a group of three long setae on each side at the posterior 

 end of the abdomen. The eyes each consist of a dorsal and a 

 ventral ocellus, the former the larger.

Gallococcus, n. gen. 



Coccidae referable to the tribe Asterolecaniini of the subfamily 

 Dactylopiinae (of the Fernald Catalogue). Adult female apodous 

 and with the antennae reduced to mere chitinized points. Anal 

 lobes lacking. No stigmatic clefts or stigmatic spines. Anal ring 

 extremely obscure — ^apparently hairless. Pores of the 8-shaped type 

 confined to a longitudinal row which extends along the median line 

 of the dorsum from one end of the body to the other. Derm with 

 many tubular ducts of the type common to the tribe, these espe- 

 cially numerous along the median line of the dorsum.
