dark brown. No circumgenital grouped glands. Only one pair of lobes, 

 these short, parallel, very close together, practically contiguous at the 

 tips, their ends broad and obliquely truncate, breadth of a lobe greater 

 than its length beyond the general margin. Apparently no squames. 

 Margin irregularly bluntly serrulate ; a small projection near the lobes, 

 and two much larger ones at considerable distances beyond, much in the 

 style of A. bigelovice. Anal orifice oval, a considerable distance from 

 the hind end. Surface striated, with rows of small round dorsal glands, 

 much in the manner of ^. bigelovice. Mouth-parts large. 



^ . Scale elongate, nearly parallel-sided, light brownish, with the 

 pale orange exuvia at one end, when fresh covered by a film of white 

 secretion. 



(J . Brownish-yellow, with ample wings. 



Hab. — Crowded on twigs of Arctostaphylos iiva-ursi, collected on 

 " shore of Lake Huron," Aug. 20, 1898, by Mr. J. Dearness. 



This interesting species is not a Diaspidiotus, but is evidently allied 



to the south-western group composed of A. bigelovice, A. yuccce and 



A. yuccariim. At the same time it is allied to A. Signoreti of Europe, 



which is the type of the subgenus Targionia, Signorct. For the present 



I believe we cannot do better than extend the subgenus Targionia to 



include all these five species. 



[In his note to the Editor, Mr. Dearness states that the precise 

 locality where he collected the infested plants was in the Ojibeway Indian 

 Reserve in Saugeen, in the Bruce Peninsula, on the sandy shore of a little 

 bay off Lake Huron, a favourite botanizing ground of Dr. Scott, of South- 

 ampton, Ont. Mr. Dearness does not know whether the inlet is generally 

 known by the name of " French Bay," but that is what the Doctor calls it.] 



A CORRECTION. 



In an article in the October, 1897, number of the Can. Ent., page 

 243, I used the name subfasciatus in describing a new species of Attains 

 from San Clemente Id. I have since discovered that tliis name had 

 been previously used by Gorham for a Mexican species, and I would 

 therefore propose the name transmarimts for the San Clemente species. 

 Oddly enough, in looking over the Horn collection the past summer, I 

 found specimens oi subfasciatus, Gorh., labelled Arizona ; the name must 

 therefore enter our lists. 



Superficially subfasciafus and transmarlnus resemble each other 

 very closely, but the latter may be at once distinguished by the prothorax 

 being sinuately narrowed behind so as to produce the appearance of 

 being broadly lobed, while in subfasciatus it has the normal form.
