REPORT UPON A COLLECTION OF 



opening somewhat cephalad of the center of the pygidium. Ventral side 



with two or three rows of very small ducts. Circumgenital pores lacking. 



Second stage closely resembling the adult but with .few ducts. 



Fig. 35. Lepidosaphes calcarata n. sp. : A, adult female; B, pygidial margin of 

 first stage; C, lateral margin of an abdominal segment of adult female; 

 D, antenna of first stage. 



First stage with the antennae (Fig. 35D) 6-segmented, the terminal 

 segment neither elongate nor annulate. Pygidium (Fig. 35B) with the 

 lobes well developed, the median pair very small, almost fused, the sec- 

 ond pair quite large and with the tip twice notched, the third and fourth 

 pairs like the second but very small. 



Notes : This species, like the preceding, is not a Lepidosaphes and is merely 

 referred to this genus temporarily. I know of no species that closely resembles it. 



Lepidosaphes concolor (Ckll.). 



1919. Lepidosaphes concolor (Ckll.), Ferris: "Contribution to the Knowledge of 

 the Coccidae of Southwestern United States," Stanford University Pub- 

 lications, p. 60, fig. 33. 



Previous records. From A triplex in Texas, New Mexico and Cali- 

 fornia. 



Lower California Records. From Encelia farinosa and Franseria 

 sp. at Todos Santos, and Pedilanthus macrocarpa ("candelilla") near 

 Pescadero. 



Notes: The specimens from these hosts agree very closely with typical 

 examples.
