Coccide from the Island of Antigua. 61 
(2) Dactylopius longispinus, Targ.-Tozz. 
(longifilis, Comstock). 
On Adiantum and other ferns (Dr. Freeland). “ Very 
destructive to the more delicate ferns.” I have no doubt 
that this is correctly identified, though the material being all 
in alcohol makes the determination difficult. 
(3) Phenacoccus yucce, Coquillett (Dactylopius 
mextcanus, Ckll.), var. Barberi, v. nov. 
9. Length about 5, breadth about 24 millim. Specimens 
in alcohol look like a Monophlebus, and are whitish, nude, 
shiny, with the segmentation distinct. Legs and antenz pale 
reddish brown, shiny. 
Antenne 9- jointed, joint 9 about one third longer than 
8; 7 a little longer than 8; 6 about as long as 7—in fact 
4, 6, 6, and 7 practically equal ; 3 a little longer than 4, 
1 about as long as 2. 
Tibia and femur with rows of bristles ; tibial bristles about 
twelve in a row, femoral about seven. ‘Trochanter with five 
bristles and a long hair. Digitules all filiform. Claw witha 
small denticle on its inner side. 
Anogenital ring with six stout bristles. 
Sides of segments with patches of small spines. 
This may be a distinct species, but I cannot be sure of this 
without seeing living, or, at least, dry (not alcoholic) 
specimens. 
Found on Allamanda and Thunbergia grandificra, and also 
on Coleus and Croton near the Thunbergia. It is not con- 
fined to Antigua; Mr. Barber sent it also from St. Kitts, on 
plant unknown; and Mr. Urich sends it from St. Ann’s, 
Trinidad, on orange. ‘The typical form of the species 1s 
found in California and Mexico. Sometimes the antenne 
have only eight joints in Mexican specimens; it was on such 
that I founded my Dactylopius mexicanus. 
(4) Lecanium batale, sp. n. 
@. Length 8, breadth 23, height 1 millim. Soft, pale 
ochreous, shiny ; posterior incision short, less than 4 millim. 
long. Outline of scale broad oval. Legs extremely small, 
very pale brown. Margin with fairly stout and large simple 
spines, the largest of which are indistinctly bifid at tips. 
Spiracular spines stout, one long and two short. 
Legs ordinary ; trochanter with a very long bristle. ‘Tibia 
about as long as femur; tarsus more than half length of tibia.
