Coccide. 
FEriococcus arenosus, sp. N. 
9 .—Scale oval, about 4 millim. long, white, covered all 
over with particles of sand. 
? .—Boiled in caustic soda stains the liquid reddish. Legs 
and antenne pale brownish ; antenne shorter than tibia + 
tarsus, 7-segmented, 4 longest, 3 a little shorter than 1, then 
2, then 5. Formula 43125 (67). 4 about as long as 
54+6+4+7; 7 quite bristly. Legs large; coxa large; femur 
hardly a third longer than tibia; tibia and tarsus almost 
exactly the same length, each with a few stont bristles. 
Claw large, not much curved ; all the digitules filiform, with 
inconspicuous knobs, that of tarsus extending nearly as far 
as those of claw. here appears to be only one tarsal 
digitule. Skin with many round gland-spots and stout blunt 
spines. Caudal tubercles elongate. 9 flattened under cover- 
glass 34 millim. long, oval, 
Eggs pale lemon-yellow. 
g.—Scale small and narrow, yellowish white or snow- 
white, not covered with sand. 
Hab. Embudo, Sept. 26, on a low herbaceous plant with 
linear conspicuously gland-dotted leaves, not seen in flower*. 
The sand-covered sac is a peculiarity of the Coccid. 
Lecaniodiaspis artemisie, sp. n. 
@.—Scale suboval, 3 millim. long, 13 wide, reddish 
ochreous, peppered with black specks; surface dull, rough 
and tuberculate, thoracic region with two prominent trans- 
verse crests. 
@ .—Dermis with scattered figure-of-8 glands and small 
spines. Caudal tubercles quite well developed. Mentum 
rather obscurely trimerous. Antenne: apparently absent in 
adult; in younger examples they are small rounded promi- 
nences, bristly at end, without visible joints. The insects 
after boiling are pale pinkish. 
g.—Scale about 14 millim. long, subcylindrical, cream- 
colour with black specks. The black specks on the scales 
consist of extraneous matter attached. 
Hab. Embudo, Sept. 25, on sage-brush (Artemisia). A 
bright red mite occurs among them. 
L. artemisie is very distinct by the aborted antenne. 
* I sent the plant on which riococcus arenosus was found te 
Prof. E. O. Wooton, who says he thinks it is safe to call it Psoralea 
micrantha, Gray.
