hunter: the COCCTD.'E of KANSAS. 6g 



few pits. Caudal half of lateral portion of body plicate. Color 

 very dark brown, pits nowhere deep, unpitted surface shiny. 

 Derm, when bleached shows numerous gland pores. 



Antennae six jointed. Professor Cockerell adds: "This species 

 occasionally shows 7 jointed antennte."' The third joint about V? 

 length of whole member, the sixth shows distinct compression 

 which suggests a suture but none could be found in specimens 

 examined. Individual lengths and comparative sizes of segments 

 shown in figure. 



Leg, size of segments variable. Trochanter prominent. Limits 

 of forms of this species studied: 



C. 120-140; tr. 68; fem. 180-204 ( including tr) ; tib. 120-152; 

 tars. 80-88: cl. 12-1-2. 



Only one long sl'ender tarsal digitule seen, knobbed: two short 

 stout digitules belong to the claw. 



Habitat on Ulmits aincricana University Campus, April, 1898 



Collected by Mr. P. A. Glenn. 



Lecanium kansasense, nov. sp. Plate XIV, Figs. 4, 5. 



Female, long. 3 to 5J, lat. 2| to 3i , alt. remains constant at 

 2, /x. Color dark brown, very shiny, derm apparently thick, 

 when boiled in KOH becomes translucent retaining some coloring. 

 Derm checkered with numerous gland pits. Some scales, when 

 taken, March, '98, were sparsely covered with white powder. 

 When scale is removed distinct oval ring with anal indentation 

 distinctly apparent upon bark of host. 



On median surface of dorsum is a smooth space, oval-shaped 

 and slightly raised, bordered on each side by row of punctures. 

 Some specimens show slight smooth elevation and another row of 

 punctures laterad of first rows, so that boss from long focus appears 

 to be encircled by two rows of pits. Lateral and caudal aspects 

 plicate, cephalic aspect minutel}' wrinkled. 



Antennae six jointed, structure, average length, and arrangement 

 of hairs shown in figure. Tliird joint a little longer than 

 44-5-1-6. Segments always well marked. Terminal hair equal in 

 length to proximal joint. 



Leg strongly chitinized, does not bleach as readily as derm. 

 Number and position of digitules, average length of segments and 

 cha?totaxy showiT in figure. 



Habitat. On Ci'rsis canadoisis Z. , University Campus, January. 

 i8g8. 



I am inclined to associate with this species scales of Lriaiiiiim.
