* 



In the year 1894. I háve found on the beech-tree a Coccid, 

 which seemed similar to the form Cnjpfococcus fagi Barbnsp[iltjíí(j, 

 under which name Mr. J. W. Douglas has comprised in his critical 

 notě N" 5*^ all the forms of Coccidinae hitherto known to live on the 

 beech-tree. But many discrepancies between my exemples and the 

 description of the authors' háve forced me to send my sketches and 

 praeparates to Mr. Doughis, who has kindly ascertained for me, that 

 both specimens in question his and mine are identical ; the samé is 

 sure respecting form described by Baerensprung s ub Coccus fagi. 



I am very indebted to Mr. J. W. Douglas for his commu- 

 nication and I give in the following lineš the improved definition. 



Cryptococcus Douglas. 



Female produces around itself a flocculent, íeltshaped waxy 

 matter, but without any speciál arrangement, forming tufts or streaks 

 onbark; antennae and the S'"^ pair of legs are obtuse, the P' and 

 2"'* pair wholly wantiug: anal tubercles wanting; on the strong, chi- 

 tinous border of the anal opening sit anteriorly and posteriorly two, 

 laterally 3 spineshaped hairs. 



Antennae of the 1^' larva are 5 jointed. 



Cryptococcus fagi Bárensprung. 



Body of 9 is elliptical, almost subcircular, canary-yellow in 

 colour; the segmentation on the praeabdominal part is undiscernible ; 

 simple reddish brown eyes on the anterior periphery; antennae 

 (Tab. 2. fig. 7) atrophied, so that they form a stump only, bearing 

 2 — 4 long stout hair; mentum dimerous with two longer and some 

 (6) short hairs. First and second pair of legs wanting; of the third 

 remains only a papillar or saccate stump (Tab. 2. íig. 8.) ; two 

 pairs of stigmata, one prothoracal and one metathoracal with a mas- 

 sive broad sienna brown border on whose periphery more cephalad
