24 A KEVISIO]Sr OF THE TYROGLYPHID^. 



tog^ether, and in the hind pair still longer; the hair at tip of the penul- 

 timate joint is longer than the tarsus in all except the hind legs. 



Length, 0.33 mm. 



Specimens from among 3£ytilas])!s scales at Crescent City, Fla. 

 (Hubbard). 



Monieziella brevitarsis n. sp. (PI. II, Hg. 18.) 



Cephalothorax with a pair of short frontal ])ristles and a pair of 

 longer posterior bristles; a humeral bristle each side rather more than 

 one- half the width of body, and three bristles each side on posterior 

 margin toward tip, the outer one very short, the next longer, and the 

 inner pair about one-third the length of the abdomen. Body scared}^ 

 twice as long as broad; mandibles (PI. II, tig. 19) large and prominent. 

 Legs short, with only a few short bristles, l)ut that at tip of the penul- 

 timate joint is rather longer than the tarsus; the latter joint is only a 

 trifle longer than the preceding joint, but much more slender; the 

 sense hair on tarsi I and II is much curved. (Male venter, PI. II, 

 fig. 19.) 



Length, 0.35 mm. 



What is evidentl}" the Ihfpopus of this form has a projection on the 

 anterior part of the cephalothorax, with a l)lack eje-spot each side; 

 the legs I and II are thick and heavy; leg III ends in a claw, as do 

 I and II; but leg IV terminates in two long bristles, the outer one 

 much the longer, but both longer than the leg, and there is also a 

 short bristle near tip of the legs. The ventral sucking plate has six 

 suckers — two in front, smaller tlian others, and four in a curved row 

 behind. 



Specimens have been taken from Chiloeoru>< afSouthern Pines, N. C, 

 and Marshallville, Ga., and it evidently feeds on the San Jose scale. 



Genus CARPOGLYPHUS Robin. 



No suture between cephalothorax and abdomen; mandibles chelate; 

 tarsi with distinct claws; cuticle Avithout granulations; ventral aper- 

 tures small; the epimera of the first two pairs of legs joined to each 

 other and to the sternum, thus forming a sort of skeleton; tarsal claw 

 arising from a clavate onychium; the bristle on penultimate joint of 

 legs arises from near middle, not at tip of joint. The legs are rather 

 slender, not thickened in the male; the male has no anal suckers. On 

 the anterior margin of cephalothorax near base of mandibles there is 

 each side a rounded eye-like spot or projection, very doubtfully an 

 eye. No Ilypopus is known. 



Type. — 0. pas^sxlarur/i Robin. 



There are doubtless several species; I have described one from 

 Java; O. anonymus of Berlese and Michael has very short bristles on
