Aspidiotus ancyclus Putnam. Plate II, Figs. 8 , 9 . 
Common on maple. In this species, as in the most of the 
Aspidiotus 1 have observed, there is a marked tendency to segre- 
gate. Clusters of scales sometimes two and three deep are to be 
found while comparatively few scales are situated alone. While 
this is doubtless true to a greater or less extent in all, it seems to 
be more noticeable in this species. And further that the scales 
meet upon the cephalic margins. Number of specimens of 3b stud- 
ied, 12. The contour of anal plate of 3a and 3b agree. Second 
lobe depressed. Differences and locations of spines and plates are 
shown in the accompanying drawings. 
The circumgenitals in 3b exceed the limits given for the species. 
Caudodaterals 7 to 10, cephalo-laterals 13 to ig, anterior o to 4. 
3b differs from 3a further in the chitinization of the incisions, 3a 
agrees w'ith original figure in having the chitine nearly evenly dis- 
tributed over the incision, almost crescent shaped, 3b shows the 
chitine along the sides of the iiicisions and incisions clear at bot- 
tom. 3b shows more dorsal glands, and this was characteristic of 
this group. 
Common on maple in and around Lawrence.
