as two processes. Two plates with numerous branches just laterad of 

 median lobe; about three plates, simple and long, on rudiments of 

 second and third lobes. A pair of spines from each lobe and a spine 

 on lateral margin one-third of distance to penultimate segment. Ven- 

 tral grouped glands forward, caudolateral group about opposite vaginal 

 orifice; median none; cephalolateral, 5; caudolateral, 4." 



Remarks : This species was originally described from speci- 

 mens brought from Mexico, on grapevine ( ? ) , and found by Mr. 

 Alex. Craw in the course of his quarantine work on the Pacific 

 Coast. Reported in this state from a greenhouse at Springfield, 

 on Satania sp.

Scale of femaie: Average diam. 2 mm., rather convex, dirty gray, 

 but lighter in color and more delicate than A. ancylus or A. perniciosus, 

 with covered, sub-central, orange exuviae. 



Scale of male: Length, 1mm.; width, .5 — .(] mm. Darker than 

 scale of female, elongated; the covered, orangd-colored exuvia situated 

 anteriorly and more convex. , ' ' > - 



Female: Median lobes prominent, rounded at apex and notched 

 midway on lateral margin, converging and almost meeting. Second 

 lobes narrower, about one-half width of median lobes, obscurely pointed 

 or rounded, and tvv'o or three notched on lateral margin. First and 

 second inter-lobular incisions bounded by thick, chitinous processes, 

 the inner the larger and of characteristic curved shape; also club- 

 shaped processes at inner base of median lobes. Usually furcated 

 prolongations of the the margin laterad of the second incision are 

 present. Plates, very inconspicuous or absent except one or two 

 caudad of second incision. Spines are borne on the ventral surface as 

 follows: one on the lateral base of each lobe, one laterad of second 

 incision one at one-third, and one at two-thirds of distance to penulti- 

 mate segment. The dorsal spines are located just laterad of the cor- 

 responding ventral ones, except the first on the median lobe which is 

 wanting. Rows of dorsal pores not prominent; first of 3-4; second of 

 5-12; third of 7-15. Five groups of circumgenital gland-orifices present; 

 median, 1-4; anterior lateral, 4-7; posterior lateral, 3-5.

 ^'Cherry Scale Insect" for this Coccid, and speaks of it as the
