This genus was erected for a unique species evidently bred from 

 young Lecanium scales. It may be separated from all other Iton- 

 ididae known to us by the 12 antennal segments, those of the 

 male being stemmed, in connection with the two palpal segments, 

 the second being minute. The claws are toothed and the third 

 vein unites with the margin at or very near the apex. Type C. 

 pennsylvanica Felt.
