funicle joints are shorter, the first quadrate, the second barely longer than 

 wide, whereas in ccccilii they are distinctly longer than wide. Scape as in 

 eriococci, shorter than the club, slightly longer than the united lengths of the 

 three following joints, widest at its center but not especially widened ; pedicel 

 obconic, truncate apically, its apical margin serrulate, as wide as the scape 

 but its apex at least a third narrower than the widest portion of the club, 

 somewhat longer than the united lengths of the two following joints ; proximal 

 funicle joint abruptly smaller, quadrate, very slightly shorter than the next 

 joint and the shortest antennal joint; funicle joint 2 slightly longer than 

 wide, from a third to a fourth shorter than the following joint or funicle 

 joint 3, equal in width to funicle joint i and somewhat narrower than funicle 

 joint 3 which is cylindrical ovate and equal in length to the following joints 

 or slightly longer; funicle joint 4 rounded ovate, wider than joint 3 and the 

 distal funicle joint still larger and globular, about thrice the size of the 

 proximal funicle joint; club large, ovate, as long, or nearly, as the 4 joints- 

 preceding ; the club is much larger than the scape and the broadest of the 

 antennal joints ; it bears the usual two longitudinal carinse. Pubescence of the 

 funicle joints arranged as in globosicornis Girault. 



From three specimens, g-inch objective, i-inch optic, Bausch and Lomb. 



Male. — The same. Length, 0.21 mm. 



Antennae filiform, lo-jointed, very similar to those of the type specimens 

 but the second funicle joint is somewhat shorter ; differing from the males- 

 immaturus Perkins, excisus Westwood, minimus Walker, eriococci Girault and 

 c<rcilii Girault in having the second funicle joint the shortest joint of the 

 antennae. 



Scape and pedicel the same, the latter slightly longer than the united 

 lengths of the first two funicle joints; proximal funicle joint rectangular, 

 longer than wide, a third longer than funicle 2 and a third shorter than 

 funicle 3 ; the second funicle joint as wide as long, quadrate, a half the length 

 01 the following joint, the shortest antennal joint ; funicle joint 3 cylindrical, 

 distinctly longer than either of the preceding two joints but a third or fourth, 

 shorter than joints 4, 5 and 6 which are equal ; joint 7 slightly longer than 

 4, 5 or 6 and the terminal or club joint conical and subequal to 4, s or 6 ; 

 funicle widening very slightly beyond joint 3. Pubescence arranged as fol- 

 lows : Scattered on the scape ; a single row encircling the pedicel and each 

 of the first three funicle joints and two rows on funicle joints 4 to 7, at their 

 proximal and apical thirds respectively ; the club joint has at least 3 rows. 

 Distal angles of funicle joints 3 to 7 acute. The proximal row of setae on 

 funicle joint 4 sometimes absent. Genitalia pallid, exserted in death. Man- 

 dibles acute. A conspicuous seta from a piliferous spot arises from the lateral 

 aspect of the intermediate tibia at its proximal third. 



From 6 specimens, f-inch objective, i-inch optic, Bausch and Lomb.
