Notaspis depilis, new species. (Plate lY, Fig. 19.) 



Of a uniform dark yellowish brown color. 



Cephalothorax cone-shaped. Lamellae one half as long as the cephalothorax, 

 very narrow^ broadest at the anterior ends; translamella a mere line. Lamellar hairs 

 long, straight, pectinate, longer than the lamellie ; interlamellar hairs similar to 

 lamellar hairs ; antero-lateral hairs slightly shorter than the lamellar hairs. Pseudo- 

 stigmatic organ short, capitate. 



Abdomen almost as broad as long ; dorsum without hairs. Cienital covers two 

 thirds as long as anal covers and situated fully twice their length in front of the latter ; 

 anal covers subrectangular, one half as broad as long, situated almost approximate to 

 the posterior margin of ventral plate. On the posterior ventral surface of the abdo- 

 men are two pairs of hairs. 



Anterior pair of legs about three fifths as long as the body ; tibia longer than the 

 tarsus. The posterior pair of legs are the longest. Ungues tridactyle, situated on 

 tarsal pedicels ; dactyles subequal. 



Length, 0.53 mm.; breadth, 0.34 mm. 



On peaches infested with Curculio, feeding on the exuded sap of 

 the fruit. Collected by L. M. Smith at Metropolis, 111. Several 

 specimens. 



Notaspis brevisetosa, new species. (Plate IV, Fig. 20. ) 



Light brown ; integument smooth. 



Lamellje slightly over one half as long as the cephalothorax, without cusps, 

 broader at the anterior end than at the posterior end ; translamella of uniform width 

 for its whole length, being about as broad as the distal end of the lamella?. Lamellar 

 hairs straight, strongly barbed and about three fourths as long as the lamella; ; inter- 

 lamellar hairs similar to lamellar hairs ; antero-lateral hairs slightly curved, pectinate 

 and extending one half their length in front of the tip of the rostrum. Pseudostig- 

 matic organ capitate, about three fourths as long as femur of leg I. 



Abdomen oblong ; with four longitudinal rows of short, pectinate bristles, in- 

 cluding about six bristles in each row. Genital covers each about twice as long as 

 broad and situated one and one half times their length from the anal covers ; anal 

 covers touching the posterior margin of ventral plate. 



Anterior pair of legs about equal to the abdomen in length, tarsus less than tibia, 

 tibia with a long tactile hair springing from a tubercle at its distal end. Ungues tri- 

 dactyle ; dactyles unequal. 



Length, 0.37 mm.; breadth, 0.21 mm. 



Shaken from limbs of black walnut, at Topeka, 111. One specimen. 



Notaspis texana, new species. (Plate IV, Fig. 21.) 



Chestnut brown. 



Cephalothorax as broad as long. Lamella; narrow blades on edge, three fourths 

 as long as the cephalothorax, broadest at the anterior end ; translamella a mere line ; 

 lateral lamellce very small. Lamellar hairs long, straight, pectinate, equal to the 

 lamellre in length ; interlamellar hairs similar to the lamellar hairs but slightly longer ;
