hunter: the COCCID/E 01'- KANSAS. 
5 
Scale of male. Elongate, broad and roundly convex anteriorly 
and flattened posteriorly. The outline of margin of scale is egg- 
shaped, broad end at anterior margin, exuviae covered with white 
secretion, nipple and ring fairly distinct. When rubbed rather 
large orange colored exuviae appear. Exuviae situated between 
the highest point and anterior margin, sometimes on anterior mar- 
gin. Length i mm., width about mm. 
Female. Body circular, lemon yellow with many irregular deep 
orange spots, the greater number along the caudal margin of the 
penultimate segment. One pair of lobes notched on lateral mar- 
gin, some specimens show lobes one entire the other notched. 
Approach each other at distal extremity, well chitinized, especially 
so along mesal margin near base. Two pairs of incisions with 
chitinized processes. 
Plates forked, two caudad of each incision. One spine on 
median lobe, a pair laterad of each incisionj and another pair about 
same distance laterad of second pair, as exists between first and 
second pair of spines, the third pair of spines are not as near to 
each other as the spines of the other pairs are. Five groups of 
ventral glands, numbers shown on figure ii. Nine mounts of 
females studied and many scales. 
A further discussion upon this variety will be given subsequently. 
A comparison between a good series of the Carya uva- with a series 
from vitis Sign, is desired. The exact status of this variety may 
then be better set forth.

Since original description is not at hand for comparison I will add 
the following notes: 
Scales rather evenly distributed over the branches of the tree. 
Scales slightly raised in center, depressed around margin. Color 
dirty gray, yellowish on top caused by exuvias showing through, 
oval, 2 mm. by i)4 mm. Exuvite laterad, covered by white se- 
cretion, when rubbed orange colored exuvia? appear; ventral 
scale white, very delicate. 
Scale of male. Elongate oval, sides almost parallel. About 
ly mm. in length. Darker than female. Exuvia:- laterad, lemon 
yellow when whitish secretion is removed. The scale is slightly 
raised along its greater median line, depressed at margin. 
Female. Oval, lemon yellow. One pair lobes, median, show- 
ing slight notch on distal margin and faint notches may appear on 
lateral margin. Chitine appears to extend cephalad from base of 
lobes, mesal margins show chitinous processes.
