A New Species of Pseudodiaspis (Hemiptera ; 

 Coccidae). 



By G. F. Ferris, Stanford University, California, 

 l^he exact nature of the genus Pseudodiaspis, as I have else- 

 w^here^ pointed out, is doubtful, but I have previously used the 

 genus for the reception of certain species of a more or less 

 Diaspis-like type in which the circumgenital pores are lacking 

 and the gland spines few or absent. As at present constituted 

 the genus is represented only in the southwestern part of the 

 United States and in Mexico. I am here describing a new 

 species from this area, which I likewise refer for the present 

 to this genus. 



Pseudodiaspis multipora 11. sp. 



Type, host and locality. From an herbarium specimen of Phora- 

 dcndron flavesccns (from oak), Julian, San Diego County, California.
