1921] Hoke: Structure of the Oraceratube 339 
species is found in both sections and it is very probable that 
they are generally distributed throughout the state. Mytiella 
sexspina also occurs in Florida. 
Lepidosaphes camelliz n. sp. (Figs. 2, 3 and 4). 
Scale of Female.—Color pale brown, broadest at posterior end, 
at broadest portion usually three-eighths as broad as long, straight 
or curved, usually straight when not crowded; ventral scale white, 
median portion usually adhering to host-plant. 
Scale of Male.—Similar to that of female, though smaller and 
darker, sides more nearly parallel; exuvia and posterior hinged portion 
each occupying one-fourth of total length of scale. 
Adult Female.—Body usually twice as long as broad, broadest 
through preabdominal segments; brevaceratubee numerous along 
lateral portion of preabdominal segments and along lateral margin of 
metathorax and caudal portion of lateral margin of mesothorax, extend- 
ing mesad from margin as far as metaspinacles; mesothoracic spiracerores 
0-5, metaspiracerores wanting; lateral margin of last three preabdominal 
segments with bractez, fifth segment with two or occasionally with 
three, fourth and third with 2 to 5, those of the third usually not well 
developed. 
Pygidium.—Lobes in two pairs, second pair deeply incised; median 
pair entire, rounded at distal end with slight indication of notch on 
each edge near proximal end, as broad as long; second pair of lobes 
with mesal lobelet distinctly longer and broader than lateral; each 
lobelet entire, rounded at distal end, lateral margins longer than mesal; 
plates arranged 2—2—2—2-2, those of third incisure longest and largest, 
those in incisura as long or longer than lobes, those of median incisura 
latapectinate, with teeth more numerous on mesal margin, median 
plate of second and third incisurz unipectinate on lateral margin, 
median plate of second incisura occasionally appears to be latipectinate, 
lateral plate of second and third incisuree swollen at proximal end, 
apparently never pectinate, plates of second incisura slightly smaller 
and shorter than those- of median incisura, those of lateris never 
pectinate; genacerores 3-6(6-11)4-9, mesogenarerores arranged in a 
single row, pregenacerores usually 7-8 and often in two rows, post- 
genacerores usually 7-8 and generally arranged in a compact group 
more or less circular in outline rather than in rows; altaceratubae 
arranged 1—2—2-1, a small ceratuba, one-half to three-fourths as large 
as altaceratube, cephalad of lobelets of second pair of lobes; breva- 
ceratubze arranged in three rows, those of third row usually consisting 
of four equidistant oraceratubze, occasionally apparently arranged in 
two groups of two each, rarely only three in third row, cephalic one 
usually cephalad of caudal margin of pregenacerores, two median 
mesad of postgenacerores, fourth and fifth rows arranged in two groups, 
lateral group 1—2, mesal group 1-4, or 0-4 in fourth row; anus usually 
thirteen times its own width from distal end of lobes; vulva between 
postgenacerores; incisuree slight, median usually wider than width of a 
median lobe.
