294 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLUGlST. 



L. caryce, var. canadeuse, Ckll , must stand as Z. caiiadcnse. L. airy- 

 arum, above described, is well distinguished from all these sjiecies, 

 especially by its antennae. 



Lccaiiium (Enlecanium) viachirarum, n sp. — $ . Scale long. 4^/^, 

 lat. 3, alt. 3 mm., very dark chestnut brown, shiny, smooth dorsally, 

 pitted round the margin ; in transverse section narrower than a half circle, 

 in longitudinal section with the outline of a half circle, except that the 

 margin is produced caudally. 



Antennas shorter than in caryaruiii, about as long as in cynosbati, 

 7-jointed, formula 3 (17) 25 (46). Sometimes the antennae seem only 

 6-jointed, with a formula 3162 (45). In the normal (7-jointed) antennae, 

 3 is about 62 ////. long, while 4 is less than half that length ; i is about 

 42 ///'. long, 7 the same. 



Tibia 113 to 121 /v.//. long, tarsus (without claw) 85 to go /v.//, claw 

 23 ji.ji.. Claw digitule.s rather slender, extending considerably beyond 

 its tip. Skin reticulated as usual in the subgenus. 



Hab. — On twigs of osage orange, Niagara, Ontario, June 17, 1898 

 (J. Fletcher). 



This scale has some considerable resemblance to Z. corylifex. Filch, 

 which Mr. G. B. King has lately found at Lawrence, Methuen and 

 Andover, Mass., on Corylus americafia. 



I will take this opportunity to record that I have just received 

 Z. quercitrouis, Fitch, from two new localities, on new food plants, viz , 

 (i) on elm, DuBois, 111. (Chas. C. Adams), (2) on Castanea pumila, 

 on the road to and near the Yosemite Valley, Mariposa Co., Calif. (Alex. 

 Craw). 



T.^NIOCAMPA ALIA, G.^J., AT QUEBEC. 



BY REV. 'JHOMAS W. FYLES. 



Fifty-nine eggs of this species were found on a twig o{ Amelaiichier 

 Canadensis, at the "Gomin," June ist, 1897. They were laid in four 

 rows — each row was about three-fourths of an inch long. 



Egg. — Small, dull pink in colour, striated. The ridges branch into 

 pairs a short distance from the apex, and number altogether about 33. 

 Each ridge is regularly indented, so as somewhat to resemble a cord. 

 Hatched in the afternoon of June 5th. 



Young larva. — A half-looper. Length one-tenth of an inch. Colour 

 greenish-yellow. Set thickly with brown warts, and sparsely with bristles,
