Front leg coxa, 120; femur and trochanter, 220; tibia, 160; tarsus, 92. 

 Stigmatal spines thin, sharp, 24 /'. long. 



Hab. — On birch (Betula), in Colorado ; collected by Prof. E. Bethel, 

 sent to Prof. Cockerell by Prof. Gillette, who supposed them to be 

 P. betulce, Linn.-Signoret. In the antennae it is near to F. tilce, King and 

 Ckll., but this scale is much larger and of a different colour.

These were sent by Prof. Cockerell in 1901 :

Eulecan!ianpr'j/inosi(iii,\a.v. ker?iioides,Tyxxt\\, 1S96. This species was 

 described in the Annual Report of the California Experiment Station, in 

 1896, by Miss M. W. Tyrrell, as Leuuiin/n pniinosum, var. kertnoides, found 

 on oak in California. In Prof. Cockerell's Check List, p. 339, it is listed, 

 and he states that he doubts if it belongs \o prninosian \ in his first Sup- 

 plement, p. 394, it is listed as a synonym of qi/ercitronis. In October, 

 1902, he collected some scales infesting Qiiercns Einoiyi (Emory's oak), at 

 Las Vegas, Hot Springs, N. M., at about 7,000 feet alt.; examples of 

 these he forwarded to me, and in his note accompanying them stated that 

 he believed them to be L. kermoides. The 2 scales are red-brown, 

 kermes-like in shape, average size 3 I/2 nim. in diameter and 3 mm. high. 

 Antennae 7-jointed ; joint (i) 32, (2) 32, (3) 48, (4) 48, (5) 20, (6) 20, 

 (7) 40; joints one and two are equal in most cases ; three and four are 

 equal, when not, joint four seems to be the longest ; five and six are equal 

 and shortest. Leg coxa, 96; femur and trochanter, 148; tibia, 100; 

 tarsus, 68. The species in the antennae comes near to E. quercitronis. 

 Fitch. There is no doubt that kermoides is a distinct species. In a 

 recent letter from Prof Cockerell he says he believes Mr. Pergande holds 

 that kertnoides is a distinct species. It, however, belongs to a very 

 puzzling group where the antenn;« are very variable. In quercitrojiis I
