Ceroputo orthezioides, sp. n. 



? . — Body 2300 /a long, 1150 broad, covered entirely with 

 white waxy secretion, which has a woolly appearance on the 

 underside, but on the upper is densely felted, with short, 

 broad, hardly separable, lateral lamellae and a more or less 

 distinct, sharp, mid-dorsal, longitudinal keel. The rostral 

 loop projects forwards instead of backwards, and is seen ex- 

 tending from the deep anterior emargination. Tlie body (not 

 boiled) is perfectly colourless, except that each segment has 

 on each side a large (about 95 /x diam.), convex, brown patch 

 beset with short (about 15 fjb long) spines. A pair of large 

 air-vessels extend from near the basal tips of the middle coxai 

 to the ends of the anterior projections of the body, antero- 

 laterad of the antennae. Anal ring with six very long bristles, 

 about 185 fjb long. Labium 2-jointed, narrow, about 186 fi 

 long and 96 broad. Legs and antenna? yellowish ferruginous ; 

 middle leg with femur + trochanter 414 /u. long (width of 

 femur about 98), tibia 375, tarsus 174, claw 54. Antennae 

 S-jointed, joints measuring in [x : (1) 60, (2) 78, (3) 129, 

 (4) 90, (5) 81, (6) 84,(7) 84, (8) 90-96. The last joint is 

 very bristly. Claw with a large denticle on inner side. 



Hah. Irapuato, Mexico, "on roots of dock weed," July 4 

 [Townsend). 



A very peculiar species, with its deep anterior emargination. 

 It looks like an Orthezia. 



Ceroputo yuccce (Coquillett), var. ceanothiy nov. 



? . — Length 3:^-4 millim.; legs and antennae dark sepia. 

 Antennas 9 jointed, joints measuring in /z : (1) 90-105, 

 (2) 114-135, (3) 185-195, (4) 147-150, (5) 140-165,
