Orthezia longipes n. sp. 
The body of the adult temale is light brown in 
color, with the legs and antennae lighter, and the 
distal extremity of the last joint of the antennae 
nearly black. The dorsal surface of the body is 
covered with small tufts of white wax, arranged in 
a double, longitudinal, median row, in which the 
two last tufis are the longest, and a marginal row 
on each side. The bodv is 2 mm. long, 1.250 m. 
wide and about 0.900 mm. high. 
The ovisac is fusiform, white, with the dia- 
meter of the posterior extremity but slightly small- 
er than that of the base; and can reach a length 
of 9 mm. The ventral surface of the cvisac is gen- 
erally smooth, and the dorsal surface is finely striat- 
ed longitudinally, and las the posterior extremity 
curved upward. 
Boiled in a solution of KOH, the liquid be- 
comes slightly tinged with brown, and the derm be- 
comes transparent and the legs and antennae light 
brown. The antennae vary from 1.018 mm. to 
1.618 mm. in length, and are composed of 8 joints, 
which have the following lengths: (1), 155-170 ; 
(2), 108-124 ; (3), 24%-265 ; (4), 186-201 ; (5), 201- 
204; (6), 186; (7), 186; (8), 248-279. The approx- 
imate formula is: 8,3,5,4 (6,7) 1.2 or (8,3) 9 (4, 
6,7) 1,2. The legs are very long and thin, the fol- 
lowing being the lengths of the joints of the first 
pair: coxa, 201 ; femur with trochanter, 837; ti- 
bia, 837 5 tarsus, 387- 410; claw, 77. The claws are 
curved and dentated on the inner margin with two 
teeth. The digitules of the claw are small; those 
of the tarsus were not observed. The eyes are small 
and bulging, and are situated on the anterior mar- 
gin near the base ot the antennae. The entire sur- 
face of the derm, both the dorsal and the ventral 
surface, is furnished with :nnumerable small spines, 
about 17 microns in length.
