PRELIMINARY LIST OF THE SCALE INSECTS OF SOUTH 



CAROLINA WITH SOME NOTES ON THE BEHAVIOR 



OF LECANIUM QUERCIFEX FITCH 



By Wilson P. Gee 



No previous systematic attempt seems ever to have been made to 

 collect and identify the scale insects of South Carolina, and except for 

 specimens which have found their way into the collections of workers 

 in other states, there are no records of just what Coccidce occur there. 

 During the past year and a half the writer has attempted a partial 

 collection and classification of the scales of this state, and has been 

 able to secure at least the more generally distributed of these. He 

 wishes to acknowledge here his appreciation of the ready response of 

 Prof. J. G. Sanders, Department of Entomology, University of Wis- 

 consin, to the request for the check identification of all of the soft- 

 scale insects in this list, and to Mr. E. R. Sasscer, Bureau of Entomol- 

 ogy, Washington, D. C, for a similar service in regard to the Diaspine 

 scales.
