PERGANDIELLA n. g. 



A Dactylopiine coccid with a long, parallel-sided body ; antennse 

 8 segmented, stouter and shorter than in Dadylopius ; eyes pres- 

 ent; anal ring with six large bristles; mentum short; no projecting 

 caudal lobes. Type P. americana n. sp. Includes also P. pernsii 

 ( Westivoodia perrisii Sign. ) from France. This is identical with 

 Weshvoodia Sign., Signoretia Kraatz, and Bergrothia Kraatz; but 

 all these names are preoccupied: I formerly misunderstood its 

 generic characters, and was later led thereby to place it as a syn- 

 onym of Dactylopius. It is appropriately dedicated to Mr. Theo. 

 Pergande, who has all along maintained its validity, and who 

 discovered the type species. 

 Pergandiella americana n. sp. 



? (Mr. Pergande's mount). — Length 3f, breadth 1;^ mm. ; 

 eyes distinct ; caudal tubercles not produced, each with many small 

 round glands, and a pair of short, stout spines, also about 15 short 

 hairs, and one long one, this last Hke the bristles of the anal ring, 

 but longer. Skin with small round glands, and scattei'ed hairs, 

 not numerous enough to form a noticeable pubescence; rostral loop 

 reaching to about midway between first and second pairs of legs ;
