“Larvae 416 mu long by half as broad; caudal setae 160 mu long; 
antennae 100 mu long, 6-jointed; formula, (1, 2,) (3, 4,) 5, 6; 6 longest, 
3 and 4 shortest, a few hairs toward tip; marginal spines conspicuous 
around the head, a prominent one each side of each caudal seta; 
claws of feet simple, slightly curved inward, accompanied by a few 
hairs.” Original description. 
Prof. Bogue then says that the specimens are variable in 
size, color and markings, so that he thinks it possible that more 
than one species may be included in the deseription. 
Remarks: First found in Ohio by Prof. J. S. Hine, at 
Georgesville, Franklin Co., on Quercus alba.

Adult female: Wength, 2—2.5mm., reddish, oval in outline, sur- 
rounded by an irregular mass of white wooly secretion, forming a 
cushion, which at first is in the form of lamellae, but later is more or 
less fused. The segmentation is fairly distinct and rendered more so 
by the inward projection of the secretion over each suture. After the 
birth of the young ihe female shrivels up and can be easily jarred 
trom the eushion. The antennae are six-jointed, second and third 
longest, fourth and fifth shortest. The legs are small and slender, the 
tibia shorter than the tarsus. The ano-genital ring bears eight hairs. 
Adult male: There are two forms of the males; one, the first to 
emerge from the cottony cocoons, is a form with short wing-pads and 
a large robust body; the other, the full-fledged males appearing 
later, are delicate two-winged creatures with large heavy, almost 
moniliferm, 10-jointed antennae. The males are not easily disturbed 
and seldom take flight. 
Larvae: The young larvae are easily recognized on leaves and 
twigs, as small oval specks about 0.5mm. in length, narrowed poster- 
iorly. Each segment bears laterally a spine, also a ring of six upon 
the head and a double row on the back. The antennae are six-jointed; 
joints 1, 2, and 3 the longest. The full-grown male larvae have 7-jointed 
antennae. 
Remarks: This species which is causing alarm in some 
eastern states is not common in Ohio; in fact, 1t was reported 
only last year, (1902), in Columbus, by Mr. A. F. Burgess, Chief 
State Niusery Inspector. 
ERIOCOCCUS AZALEAE Comst. 
This Coecid was reported by Prof. Webster, at the Experi-
