When boiled in KOH the body becomes transparent except the anterior 

 end, the anal opening, and the appendages. The general texture of the body 

 appears fibrous and large muscles are attached to the legs. 



Antennae (Fig. 94 A) — Remain brown, have very few hairs, and are 8- 

 articled. 



Legs (Fig. 94 B) — Also remain brown and are nearly glabrous. Cox£e are 

 very large and are nearly as long as the femur. The femur and tibia are co- 

 equal, and twice as long as the tarsus. 



Anal Opening — Is the same as that of the genus Lecanium, consisting of 

 two somewhat triangular lobes on either side of the aperture proper. 



Food plants — Reported by Crawford on Mesquit (Proposis juUflora), on 

 Mimosa by Cockerell. 



This form was collected, by David Crawford, from the hills around the 

 city of Gaudalajara, Mexico, last summer and is one of the many interesting 

 forms sent by him.
