ENTOMOLOGY. 
Two more new species of Lecanium.—(1). Lecanium pseud- 
hesperidum, Ckll., n. sp.— 9 scale of the general shape and appear- 
ance of L. hesperidum, but (at least in spirit) firm in texture. Length 
63, breadth 33, height 1 mm. Color reddish-brown, moderately shiny, 
pitted but not ridged or grooved; rows of apparently glandular 
patches on the dorsum. This description is from a 9? packed with 
eggs; empty 9, from which the eggs have hatched, are sometimes 
rather larger, and appear whitish or nearly colorless. 
Derm colorless, very distinctly tessellated, the tessellations not con- 
taining gland-spot. Rather large gland-pits scattered at irregular 
intervals. 
Margin with slender spines, often curved, never branched. Lateral 
incisions each with a stout blunt brown spine, and a second rudimen- 
tary or very small. Anal plates small, about 1} mm. from hind end. 
Anogenital ring with numerous hairs. Mentum 2-pointed, rounded at 
end. 
Legs ordinary ; coxa and trochanter each with a hair at end; tarsus 
searcely if at all shorter than tibia. Claw stout, hooked at tip. 
Digitules ordinary, well-developed, slender but not filiform. 
Antenne very pale brownish, well-formed, but the joints indistinct, 
6 joints, 3 much longest, about twice as long as 2, and a little longer 
than 4+5+-6. 4 shortest, then 5 and 1 about or nearly equal. 6 
about as long as2. Formula 6(26)(15)4. 1, 2 and 3 each witha 
long hair near the end ; 6 with many hairs. 
Hab., on Cattleya in greenhouse at Ottawa, Canada (C.-E. F.), Dee. 
15, 1894. Sent by Mr. J. Fletcher. The native country of the species 
is unknown, but it is most probably neotropical. 
This interesting species looks very like the common L. hesperidum, 
but in its tessellated skin more resembles such species as L. depressum. 
The tessellation is microscopical, so the species could not be taken for 
L. perforatum as tessellatum. With it were sent (also in alcohol) three 
or four examples of an Anlacaspis from the same plant. No satis- 
factory study could be made of this from the material received, but it 
appears to be A. boisduvalii, (Signoret). 
(2). Lecanium lintneri, Ckll. and Bennett, n. sp.—¢ scale very flat, 
practically circular in outline, about 54 mm. long and 5 broad; dark
