Matsucoc'cus Ckll. — A single species matsumurae Kuwana from 

 Japan on pine-tree (matsu), is known. The adult female has a swollen 

 body which is ovate in outline. When ready to deposit her eggs, the 

 female seeks a crack or crevice in the bark, where she forms a cottony 

 cushion of wax upon which she rests and covers her body with a con- 

 siderable amount of white cottony wax. The nymphs of the first stage 

 have the body similar in form to that of the adult female, but the legs 

 have a peculiar crab-like appearance due to the swollen and elongate 

 femora and the short and slender tibiae and tarsi. The antennae of this 

 stage, which consist of seven segments, are peculiar in form. Segments 

 two, four, and six are subequal in length as are segments three, five, and 

 seven, but the segments of the last group are only about one-third the 

 length of the segments of the first group. 



ParagreeniuMacG. — Green has described a single species, zeylanica, 

 from Ceylon on Antidesma. The complete description of this species has 

 not been published. The body of the adult female is long and narrow and 

 the female nymphs of the second stage are found in small cavities in the 

 living tissue of the plant. The adult female according to Ferris has well 

 developed mouth-parts with a distinct mentum and six to eight pairs of 

 abdominal spiracles. If this species has mouth-parts, rostrum and ros- 

 tralis, in the adult female, this genus should be referred to the Monophle- 

 binae. 



Amei'icoccus MacG. — There is a single described species, fascic- 

 uleusis Herbert, from California on Pinus. The adult female has trans- 

 versely striated antennae, the proximal segments are large. The claws 

 are simple with two ungual digitules. The thoracic spiracles are large 

 and distinct. The dorsum is provided with transverse rows of simple 

 cerores and the dorsum and venter with cerores similar to the octa- 

 cerores. The ocellanae, one on each side of the head, are present. The 

 mouth-parts are sometimes present. The distance between the prothoracic 

 and raesothoracic legs in the first nymphal female is nearly three times 

 that between the mesothoracic and metathoracic legs. The rostrum is 

 shown between the latter pairs of legs. 



Kuwnnia Ckll. — Kuwana has recorded a single species, quercus 

 Kuwana, from Japan on Quercus. This genus, as here limited, contains
