Aspidiotus ancyclus Putnam. Plate II, Figs. 8, 9. 



Common on maple. In this species, as in the most of the 

 Aspidiotus I have observed, there is a marked tendency to segre- 

 gate. Clusters of scales sometimes two and three deep are to be 

 found while comparatively few scales are situated alone. While 

 this is doubtless true to a greater or less extent in all, it seems to 

 be more noticeable in this species. And further that the scales 

 meet upon the cephalic margins. Number of specimens of 3b stud- 

 ied, 12. The contour of anal plate of 3a and 3b agree. Second 

 lobe depressed. Differences and locations of spines and plates are 

 shown in the accompanying drawings. 



■ The circumgenitals in 3b exceed the limits given for the species. 

 Caudo-laterals 7 to 10, cephalo-laterals 13 to 19, anterior o to 4. 

 3b differs from 3a further in the chitinization of the incisions, 3a 

 agrees with original figure in having the chitine nearly evenly dis- 

 tributed over the incision, almost crescent shaped, 3b shows the 

 chitine along the sides of the incisions and incisions clear at bot- 

 tom. 3b shows more dorsal glands, and this was characteristic of 

 this group. 



Common on maple in and around Lawrence.
