are thick and numerous, The entire dorsal derm is 
ornamented by large, circular glands, 40 microns 
in diameter, witb an excentric pore. The central 
portion of these glands is more transparent and is 
from 28 to 30 microns in diameter. Near the mar- 
gin these glands are united in small groups or ro- 
settes of from 2 to € glands each, and scattered 
among these glands, there are cther vers small, 
circular glands. The anal fissure is 1.150 mm. long 
with the margins contiguous. The anal plates are 
nearly hemispherical in form, with the interior mar- 
gin about 68 microns long. Around tbe lateral 
margin there is a simples row of short, thick 
spines, each one with a tuberculate base. There 
are also many small glands present with their pores 
opening in the margin. 
Hab. Campinas, State of São Paulo. On the bark

Eulecanium melzeri n. sp. 
The adult female has the body spherical or 
globose in form, widest posterior of the middle, 
symetrically divided into two parts by a shallow, 
longitudinal, median furrow, that is wider and more 
pronounced at the posterior extremity. The color is 
bright yellow, with the margin and a longitudinal, 
median stripe, dark olive green. The lateral margins 
are thick and recurved, and slightly depressed on 
the anterior extremity. Two more depressions are 
present on the margin on each side. 
Boiled in a solution of KOH, the liquid becomes 
colored brown with a yellow tinge, while the derm 
retains its hard consistency. All of the specimens 
had been attacked by parasites, and not one was 
found with antennae and legs, and it is possible 
that these organs are atrophied. In the derm, near 
the lateral margin, there, are numerous glands, some 
circular, about 77 microns in diameter, and others
