COCarde (ko-kiird'), . [F. : see cockade.] In 
entom., one' of the bright-red, extensile, lobed 
vesicles found in coleopterous insects of the 
genus Malachius and its allies. They are 4 in 
number, 2 near the anterior angles of the thorax and 2 
at the base of the abdomen. The cocardes are generally 
concealed, but the insect protrudes them when alarmed. 
Being very conspicuous, they perhaps serve to repel insect 
enemies.

den, Holland, who founded the so-called "Fed- 
eral" school in theology. He believed that the whole 
history of the Christian church to all time was prefigured 
in the Old Testament, and so opposed the Voetians. See

Coccidse (kok'si-de), u. pi. [NL., < Coccus, 2, + 
-idx.] A family of phytophthirian hemipter- 
ous insects, of the same group as the aphides ; 
the scales, scale-insects, or mealy-bugs. The tarsi 
have one joint ; the male is small, two-winged, and without 
rostrum ; and the female is large, wingless, and rostrate. 
They live on plants, and the larva) resemble scales, whence 
one of the names of the family. The eggs are deposited 
beneath the large shield-shaped body of the female. The 
males undergo complete metamorphosis, an exception in 
this order, and the apterous larva) become incased in a 
cocoon, and transform into quiescent pupa). The family 
is an important one, not only from the damage done by 
these insects to plants, but for their commercial value, 
some of them producing the coloring matter called cochi- 
neal, others secreting the substance known commercially 
as lac. See lac% and manna, and cuts under coccus and
