ABT. 12. MASKEUL, GENERA OF COCCroAE MORRISON. IT 



legs and body, the absence of differentiated tarsal digitules and the 

 development of the large circular clear pores would seem to indicate 

 some connection with the Monophlebine-Margarodine series of gen- 

 era, but here again, the presence of the anal ring with setae and pores 

 and the absence of abdominal spiracles, are sufficient to eliminate 

 close relationship with this group as well. It has therefore been 

 necessarj^ to continue to consider this single species and genus as the 

 sole representative of a distinct subfamily in the Coccidae, for which 

 the following generic diagnosis has been prepared. 



GKNEKIC DIAGNOSIS OF PHENACOLEACHIA. 



Coccids of uncertain relationships, probably representing a dis- 

 tinct subfamily; adult female elongate oval, tapering at ends, cov- 

 ered with secretion and with lateral abdominal tassels in life; 

 antennae 11-segmented, with numerous setae and, relatively, spines; 

 legs well developed, with numerous small setae, tarsal claw with 

 denticle and two differentiated digitules; tarsal digitules not dif- 

 ferentiated from other setae; mentum 3-segmented; anal ring cir- 

 cular, with six large setae and a broad band of pores; derm pores 

 of three types, triangular, with three large and three small loculi, 

 multilocular disk, and larger heavy clear disk; with small cylin- 

 drical projections with apical nipple, in clusters, especially sub- 

 marginally ; body setae numerous, slender, varying greatly in size, 

 with a few larger hairs grouped transversely; intermediate stages 

 not known ; larva elongate oval, tapering before and behind ; anten- 

 nae T-segmented, the terminal segments with differentiated spines, 

 all with numerous setae; legs rather short and stout, the claw and 

 digitules as in adult; mentum 3-segmented; anal ring as in adult, 

 but less developed; derm pores fewer, but much as in adult; setae 

 as in adult, except less numerous; adult male with 10-segmented 

 antennae, eight ocelli on each side, arranged in a curved continuous 

 row ; legs long and slender, tarsal claw nearly straight, with denticle 

 and digitules as in female; penis sheath long-conical, rounded; apex 

 of abdomen with a large circular group of multilocular disk pores 

 on each side of penis, and in center of these about 4 long, slender 

 setae.

 which therefore stands as the type. Maskell later added another
