femur and trochanter, 387-456; tibia, 356-402 ; 
tarsus, 170; claw, 46. The digitules are short 
and fine. 
Boiled in a solution of KOH, the derm becomes 
soft and transparent. The entire surfaces studded 
with fine hairs, some of which are short, and 
others long. Interspersed among the hairs, there are 
many small, circular, compound glands, ahout 11 
microns in diameter, that have the margin thick- 
ened and have three small, round orifices in the 
central portion. 
Hab. Central Chile. Collected by the author 
in January 1909, on the leaves of an indigenous 
tree. The type is deposited in the collections of 
the Museu Paulista, as a microscopic slide, with 
the number 20084. It is possible that after the 
male is known, this species will have to be trans- 
ferred to another genus. 
Icerya flava n. sp. 
The adult female with the ovisac is 16 mm. 
long, 7 mm. wide and 8.500 mm. high. The dorsum 
is covered with yellow wax, arranged in one lon- 
gitudinal, median line, with one large tuft and one 
or two smaller ones; one sub-marginal, longitadinal 
line on each side, with about 8 tufts of yellow wax 
each; and a marginal line on each side, with 9 
thick tufts of yellow wax. At the anterior and 
posterior extremities there is also one large tuft of 
wax. The areas between the tufts are also covered 
with yellow wax. The lateral and the dorsal sur- 
faces of the ovisac are also yellow, and fluted lon- 
gitudinally; the ventral surface, however, is smooth, 
and the yellow color is mixed with white. The 
posterior extremity of the ovisac is truncated. No 
glassy rods were observed. 
The body, freed from wax, is red in color, 
and oval in form, widest across the abdomen, and 
is about 8 mm. long, 6 mm. wide and 3mm. high. 
Boiled in a solution of KOH, the derm be- 
comes soft, and the liquid is only slightly tinged 
with red. The antenna are about 1 mm. long, and
