“Kermes pubescens Bogue. Female scale spheroidal, 3.5mm. in 
diameter, 3 high, pointed and grooved beneath; covered all over with 
short straggling pubescence. Color rather light brown, with more or 
less obscure and suffused dark brown bands marking the obsolete 
segments. Surface shining, with minute concolorous specks but no 
dark spots or pits.”’ Original description from the Canadian Entomolo- 
STIS, Free, Wn LUPA GINO) re 
The larvae of K. pubescens differ from the larvae of any other 
known species, by having six rows of short conical spines and short 
caudal setae. The body is narrower and longer and more attenuated 
posteriorly. In the larvae of K. pubescens and K. ceriferus, the sixth 
antennal segment is ionger than the third. 
Remarks: This species has been found plentifully at Mi- 
nerva Park, eight miles north of Columbus, on Q. macrocarpa. 
Although there is a Red Oak (Q. rubrum) adjacent, there was 
not a specimen of AW. pubescens on it.

kK. trinotatus Quaint. & Scott, Coce. Am., Dec. iii-iv, No. 4 (1901). 
“Kermes trinotatus, n. sp. Female scale variable in size, averag- 
ing about 5.5mm. long, 6mm. wide, and 4.5mm. high; rounded above, 
somewhat flattened behind, convex beneath, front turned down into a 
more or less beak-like prominence; median groove obscure or broad 
and shallow; color varies from bright argillaceous to dull gray; surface 
uniform, more or less conspicuously speckled with black; segmentation 
obscurely or plainly marked with dark spots. When the median groove 
is present, it is crossed with more or less dark lines showing the seg- 
mentation. There is a rounded dark spot on each side of the front, 
and an elongated dark blotch extending for a short distance above 
and below the anal opening; hence the specific apellation.
