SUPPLEMENT TO PSYCHE. 



19 



ends. Claw long, not miicli cur\'eti. On 

 leaves of " Gnmi," Japan (Takahasiii). It 

 has much the appearance of Pulviudria 

 camellicola. 



Conchaspis angraeci v. hibisci, v. tiov. — 

 Scale perhaps a little larger, grayish-white, 

 with the apex tilted over on to the side. 

 Strong i-idges. about 3 in number, run from 

 the ape.'c towards the opposite margin. An- 

 tennae 4-iointed. On Hibiscus sp.Tamau- 

 lipas, Mexico (Townsend). 



Lecaniodiaspis (Prosopophora) quercus. 

 n. sp. — 5 scale long. 3.^, lat. 2.^, alt. 2 J mm., 

 pale ochreous, obscurely carinate, segmenta- 

 tion fairly evident. Antennae 7-jointed, 

 formula (34) (25) (67) 1. On Quercus sp., 

 Tokio, Japan (Takahashi). Very like P. 

 rufcscens, but more convex. It might be 

 taken at a glance for an Eriococcus, being 

 about the color of the sacs of E. eucalypti. 

 Mask. 



L. (P.) celtidis. n. sp. — $ scale long. 3. 

 lat. 2.i, alt. li mm., broad-oval, convex, above 

 very light ochreous, conspicuously frosted 

 with white secretion. Antennae 8-jointed, 

 fornuila 4 (35) (61) (72) 8. Eggs pale pink. 

 On Celtic occidentalis, San Antonio, Texas 

 (Townsend). The eggs in /,. v'icctie are 

 vellowish. 



Sphaerococcu3 (Pseudolecanium. n. 

 subg.) tokionis, n. sp. — Scale irregular, 

 more or less oval, about 6 mm. long, dark 

 brown, shinv, producing a little cottony 

 matter. The adult $ is simply a sac full of 

 lai'vae ; the margin has well-developed capi- 

 tate spines. Larvae suggesting those of 

 Kermef. Cephalic end with a row of about 

 10 tubular glands, hind extremity with blunt 

 spines. On twigs of bamboo, Japan (Taka- 

 hashi). Rather like 5. bambusiie. Mask., 

 but not showing the distinct caudal segments 

 of that insect. 



Lecanium imbricatum, n. sp. — $ scale 

 about 4 i^im. long, oval, moderately convex, 

 reddish-brown, much wrinkled when dry; 

 more or less covered, especially at sides, 

 with a thin, fragile glassy coat. Derm 



thickly beset with large brown glands, which 

 viewed laterally are broadly fusiform. Anal 

 ring with S long hairs. Antennae very 

 short, thick, rudimentary, joints not distin- 

 guishable. Legs rudimentary, very short and 

 stout. ^ scales as usual in genus, rugose. 

 On Mimosa, Alta Mira, Mexico (Tnwn- 

 send). Belongs to a neotropical group. 



L. nanum, n. sp. — $ scale like a very 

 small /.. Iiespeiidum, thus like /,. minimum, 

 Newst., but antennae 7-jointed, joints 

 obscure, formula 3 (27) 14 (56). Derm with 

 small scattered round gland-dots, legs very 

 sinall, the four digitules about of equal size, 

 those of tarsus not extending beyond those 

 of claw. Anal plates short and broad, red- 

 brown. With young Icerya rosue in covered 

 runs of an ant on leaves of " Balata," Trin- 

 idad (Hart). The ?s. though so small, con- 

 tained embryos. 



Pulvinaria aurantii, n. sp. — Looks like 

 P. fsiiiii, iM.isk.. but that has the Tuarginal 

 spines "more numerous and very much 

 smaller, the femur and trochanter larger, 

 etc. In aurantii the antennae are S-jointed, 

 3 longest. Legs ordinary, tarsus much 

 shorter than tibia, digitules of claw very 

 large and stout, with large knobs. Roi-tral 

 loop very short. On orange, Tokio, |apan 

 (Takahashi). 



P. broadwayi. n. sp. — 5 reddish-brown, 

 about I.J mm. long in shrivelled condition, 

 on and surrounded by an oval cushion of 

 white secretion, about 3 inni. long. Antennae 

 S-jointed, formula 3 (28) (41) (56) 7. Legs 

 rather stout and large, tibiotarsal articula- 

 tion unusually distinct. Claw strong, much 

 curved. Digitules of claw stout, extending 

 beyond its tip, with large knobs; tarsal dig- 

 itules slender, nearly twice as long as those 

 of claw. Margin with very numerous stout 

 but rather short pale brown spines. On twigs 

 of a plant not identified, but seemingly Ana- 

 cardiaceous. Botanic Gardens, Grenada 

 (Broadway). Sent by Mr. Urich. Easily 

 known by the cottony matter surrounding 

 the ?.
