Habitat: On Chilopsis, Las Cruces, N. Mex. (Ckll.) 

 The form of the second ' lobe of the adult closely re- 

 sembles the form of the second lobe of howardi, and some- 

 what less, the second lobe of ancyhis. The resemblance to 

 hozvardi Is noticed in a number of other features. Hence it 

 seems not improbable that the immature form of Jiowardi 

 has similarly all three lobes. 



ASPIDIOTUS UVAE Comst. 



Comstock, Rep. U. S. Dept. Agr. 1880, p. :t08. 



Scale nearly round, brownish yellow, perceptibly lighter 

 than bark of host; diameter about i 1-2 mm., exuviae sub- 

 central. Male scale about i 1-5 mm. long by 1-2 mm. wide. 



Female anal segment: Median lobes notched on both 

 outer and inner margins, parallel, long; second lobes little 

 more than rudimentary, apex rounding or slightly convex; 

 rudiment of third lobe slightly raised at inner angle. Two 

 chitinous processes bounding each of the second and third in- 

 cisions, the inner processes in each case slightly the largest. 

 Two plates with short side branches laterad of median lobe 

 and three laterad of second lobe; four simple plates laterad 

 of third lobe. A pair of spines from each first, second and 

 third lobes, and a pair on lateral margin. 



Parasitic on grapevine in Indiana (Comstock) and in 

 Kansas (Parrott). 



Hunter in his "Coccidae of Ivansas"'-'" describes a variety 

 of this species occurring on Carya alba at Lawrence, Kan. , 

 but does not name it. The scale is described as reddish 

 white and the scales are found occurring promiscuously, in- 

 stead of being arranged in rows as are the scales of typical 

 2ivac. The body of the female is lemon yellow with deep 

 orange spots, these predominating along the caudal margin of
