PSYCHE. 



263 



oval, 2^ mm. long, i4 broad, about i high ; 

 ochre vellow, more or less bright lemon yel- 

 low at the sides, very rough and irregularly 

 nodulose; dorsal area with a more or less 

 distinct longitudinal carina or ridge, and 

 two transverse ones; extreme margin with 

 little tubercles ; hind end little produced, 

 with the usual round orifice. 



$. Pyriform ; skin after boiling colorless, 

 the contained embryonic larvae pink. Many 

 small and slender rods, and double (figure- 

 of-S) glands; skin sometimes suffused with 

 brown; no legs; antennae represented by 

 minute tubercles emitting two or three bris- 

 tles; mouth-parts broAvnish, rather small, but 

 well-developed; caudal tubercles rather long, 

 with a short but rather stout bristle; anal 

 ring with 6 hairs. 



Kggs slate-grey, \ mm. long. 



Embr3'onic larva with rows of figure-of-8 

 glands, instead of the spines of Eriococcus, 

 etc. Antennae six-segmented, 3 longest, the 

 others subequal ; 6 oval, bristly; claw very 

 long. 



$ . Scale small, cylindrical, creamy white. 



Hab. — Caflon City, Colorado, on twigs 

 and stems of Atriflex canescens. Collected 

 by Mr. E. Bethel ; sent by Prof. Gillette. 

 On one of the twigs is also a parasitised 

 example of Mytilaspis concolor (Ckll.), which 

 is new to Colorado. This was described as 

 a variety of M. alba, but is doubtless distinct. 

 The real M. alba (type locality Jamaica) 

 must be added to the U. S. fauna, having 

 just been found by Mr. Qiiaintance in Florida. 



PALISOT DE BEAUVOIS' WORK ON 



THE INSECTS OF AFRICA AND 



AMERICA. 



The " Insectes recueillis en Afrique et en 

 Amerique " has according to Hagen 90 

 plates. A collation of the two imperfect 

 copies in the libraries of Harvard College 

 and the Museum of Comparative Zoology 

 give just this number but they are very 

 irregularly numbered, and the following list 

 may serve to show whether copies in other 

 libraries are more complete or not. 

 Apteres, i, 3, 4,5, 6 = 5. 

 Coleopteres, 1, ib, ic. id, le, 2, 2b, 3, 3b,

 30b, 31.32,34, 35, 36, 37, 38 = 30. 

 Hfemiptferes, i, 2, 5, 5b, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 



19, 20, 20 = 14. 



Orthopteres, i, ib, 2, 2c, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 14 



= 11. 

 Nevroptires, i, 2, 3, 7, = 4. 

 L^pidopteres, 1, ib, 2, 2b, 2c, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7,

 Hymenopteres, i, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, = 7. 

 Dipteres, i, 2, 3, = 3. 



There are two plates marked Him. 20, one 

 of Homoptera, the other of Heteroptera ; and 

 two marked Lfep. 6, both species of "Pap- 

 ilio."
