as two processes. Two plates with numerous branches just laterad of 
median lobe; about three plates, simple and long, on rudiments of 
second and third lobes. A pair of spines from each lobe and a spine 
on lateral margin one-third of distance to penultimate segment. Ven- 
tral grouped glands forward, caudolateral group about opposite vaginal 
orifice; median none; cephalolateral, 5; caudolateral, 4.” 
Remarks: This species was originally described from speei- 
mens brought from Mexico, on grapevine (?), and found by Mr. 
Alex. Craw in the course of his quarantine work on the Pacifie 
Coast. Reported in this state from a greenhouse at Springfield, 
on Satania sp.

Scale of femaie: Average diam. 2mm., rather convex, dirty gray, 
but lighter in color and more delicate than A. ancylus or A. perniciosus, 
with covered, sub-central. orange exuviae. 
Scale of male: Length. 1mm.; width, .5—6@mm. Darker than 
scale of female, elongated; the covered, orange-colored exuvia situated 
anteriorly and more convex. 
Female: Median lobes prominent, rounded at apex and notched 
midway on lateral margin, converging and almost meeting. Second 
lobes narrower, about one-half width of median lobes, obscurely pointed 
or rounded, and two or three notched on lateral margin. First and 
second inter-lobular incisions bounded by thick, chitinous processes, 
the inner the larger and of characteristic curved shape; also club- 
shaped vrocesses at inner base of median lobes. Usually furcated 
prolongations of the the margin laterad of the second incision are 
present. Plates, very inconspicuous -or absent except one or two 
caudad of second incision. Spines are borne on the ventral surface as 
follows: one on the lateral base of each lobe, one laterad of second 
incision one at one-third, and one at two-thirds of distance to penulti- 
mate segment. The dorsal spines are located just laterad of the cor- 
responding ventral ones, except the first on the median lobe which is 
wanting. Rows of dorsal pores not prominent; first of 3-4; second of 
5-12; third of 7-15. Five groups of circumgenital gland-orifices present; 
median, 1-4; anterior lateral, 4-7; posterior lateral, 3-5. 
Remarks: Prof. Johnson proposed the popular name 
““Cherry Seale Insect”? for this Coccid, and speaks of it as the
