176 Lecaniincr. 



Myxolecanium, Beccari. — ' Mentum of ? prolonged, forming a 

 transversely corrugated sheath.' (Cockerell, Canad. Eiitom., Feb. 

 1901.) 



Alichtensia, Ckll. — ' ? scale elongate, with a glassy covering, 

 much like the male scales of LecaniincB ; a little felted matter, in 

 threads, is visible on the underside of the glassy scale. No rows 

 of air-cells. No ovisac. Antennae and legs well developed.' 

 (Cockerell, Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist., June, 1902. 



Austrolichtensia, Ckll. — ' $ enclosed in a sac which has an 

 elongated dorsal aperture. Margin of ? with very long bristles. 

 Antennae and legs well developed. Skin with numerous tubular 

 glands. Anal ring with six hairs.' {Qo(^Q.x&Vi, Ann. and Mag. of 

 Nat Hist., June, 1902.) 



PhilepJiedra, Ckll. — ' Body of ? soft, not chitinous, pink in 

 front, greenish on dorsum, with some black specks : back with 

 patches of white secretion.' (Cockerell, Canad. Entom., Nov. 

 1899.) ' Margin with fringe of sharp spines.' {Ann. and Mag. oj 

 Nat. Hist., June 1902.) [Originally proposed as a subgenus of 

 Pulvinaria, but now considered, by Prof. Cockerell, to be more 

 nearly allied to Lichtensia. The introduction of colour characters 

 into generic diagnoses, more especially when founded upon a 

 single species, seems rather a dangerous innovation. — E. E. G.] 



Neolecanium, Parrott. — 'Adult 5* covered with a more or less 

 distinct glassy test : skin covered with large glands.' (Cockerell, 

 Canad. Entom., Feb. 1901.) 



Tectopidvinaria, Hempel. — ' Adult ? secreting an ovisac as in 

 Pidvinaria. Entirely covered with white secretion resembling 

 felt.' (Hempel, CoccidcE of Brazil, 1900.) 



Cardiococms, Ckll. — ' Legs and antennae small or rudimentary ; 

 insect covered by a brittle waxy scale, with a dorsal pit or foramen.' 

 (Cockerell, Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist., Feb. 1903.) [Scarcely 

 separable from Inglisia. — E. E. G.]
