REPORT UPON A COLLECTION OF 



abdominal segments not projecting, without gland spines but with a 

 few small ducts. 



Fig. 33. Lepidosaphes acuta n. sp. : pygidium of adult. 



. 



Pygidium (Fig. 33) acute at apex, terminating in a pair of rather 

 small, pointed median lobes, which are notched on the lateral margin. 

 Second pair of lobes but little more than tooth-like projections which are 

 somewhat bilobed. Gland spines entirely lacking. Tubular ducts quite 

 numerous, scattered, all rather small, those of the dorsum as large as 

 those of the margin, their distribution as indicated in the figure. Anal 

 opening quite large, close to the anterior margin of the pygidium. 

 Ventral side apparently without tubular ducts. Circumgenital pores 

 lacking. 



Second stage closely resembling the adult, but with fewer ducts. 



First stage with the antennae (Fig. 32C) 5-segmented, the terminal 

 segment short and not annulate. Pygidium (Fig. 32B) with two pairs 

 of lobes. 



Notes: This species is certainly not congeneric with the type of Lepido- 

 saphes, but I refer it here for the present. I know of no other species that it at 

 all closely resembles. 



Lepidosaphes calcarata n. sp. 



Figs. 34, 35. 



Type from Haentatoxylon boreale ("palo de brazil") at La Paz. 

 Also from Acacia flexicaulis ("palo de fierro") at La Paz; Cassia occi- 

 dentalis ("palo de zorillo") and Lysiloma sp. ("palo bianco"), at Mira- 

 flores.
