Eriococcus coff'eœ n. sp. 



The adult female is enclosed in a sack of 

 white felt, tinged with cream. The body is about 

 2,5 mm. long and 1,5 mm. wide, is oval in form 

 and of a red color. On the upper surface it is orn- 

 amented with three longitudmal rows of white wax, 

 one of which is median and the other marginal, 

 on each side. 



Boiled in a solution of KOIT, the body becomes 

 transparent, and the derm soft, the liquid being 

 colored brown. Near the base of the antennae there 

 is a pair of transparent eyes. The antennae have 

 7 joints but vary in length from 0,304 to 0,350 

 mm., the following beinc: the medium length of 

 the joints ; ( 1 ) 58 ; ( 2 ) 39 ; 3 ( 39 ; ( 4 ) 39 ; ( 5 ) 

 32; (6) 39; (7) 78. The approximate formula 

 is 7,', (2346) 5. The joints of the first pair of 

 legs have the following lengths : coxa 78 ; femur 

 and trochanter 208 ; tibia 84 ; tarsus 65 ; claw 19. 

 The digitules of the tarsus are long and filiform ; 

 those of the claw being shorter and thicker. The 

 anal ring has 6 long hairs. The posterior extrem- 

 ity of the body ends in two long hairs, each of 

 which has several short, thick spines at its base. 

 All the derm of the body contains many small, 

 short spines, ai-ranged in transverse rows, and a 

 great number of minute circular glands.
