Described from eight specimens mounted singly on slides, received 

 for identification from Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt, as noted above, each slide 

 labelled "from spruce budworm material. Province of Quebec,' and 

 respectively, " Maniwaki, 27, VI, ir,^' and " Montcalm, 6, VII, ir," two 

 females, two slides (homotypes in Canada) ;" Chicoutimi, 3, VII. 11," 

 and "St. Gabriel de Brandon, 3, VII, 11," two females, two slides 

 co-types, as noted below) ; " Chicoutimi, 3, VII, 1 r,'' and " Montcalm. 6,

 Clemens, but a coccid is indicated instead. Other coccid parasites, some 

 noted beyond, were reared from the same host material.
