LXVI. — Neio Coccidffi from Mexico. By T. D. A. 

 Cockerell, Entomologist of the New Mexico Agricultural 

 Experiment Station. 



The Coccidge herein described were collected in Mexico in 

 1897 by Mr. A. Koebele and Prof. C. II. T. Townsend, and 

 sent to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. I am much 

 indebted to Dr. L. O. Howard, the Entomologist of the 

 Department, for the opportunity of studying and describing 

 these insects, which prove to be many of them of extreme 

 interest. 



It is proper to state that Mr. Koebele's expedition was 

 made at the expense of the government of the Sandwich 

 Islands, while Prof. Townsend's collecting was done in the 

 service of the United States.
