hunter: the COCCU)/!''. OE KANSAS. 
Two pairs of incisions, each bearing chitinous processes on 
sides, processes nearly equal in size but rather wide apart. 
Plates inconspicuous, one or two caudad of second incision, 
small. Spines prominent, one on lateral margin of median lobe, 
two between first and second incisions upon what might be con- 
sidered a depressed lobe. One spine laterad of second incision 
and another spine half wa}' between the fourth spine and a pair of 
spines on the lateral margin. Another spine appears on lateral 
margin near penultimate segment. (Not shown in figure.) 
Four groups ventral glands, caudo-laterals 4 to 5, cephalo 
laterals 4 to 6. 
From many scales and mounted specimens.

Aspidiotus ulmi Johns. Plate III, Fir. 14. 
Found in two localities in the city of Lawrence upon catalpa, 
massed upon the branch of the tree. In an entirely different lo- 
cality upon Ulmus fulva. It seemed in each case to be of long 
standing. Many old scales were found covered by the outer cork 
layer. 
The scale of female agrees quite well with original description, 
except that I would not call the scale “quite convex;” slightly con- 
vex suits here better. Male scale agrees with description. 
Mature female differs from original description and figure in hav- 
ing two notches upon the mesal margin of the lobes. In some 
specimens the proximal notch is faintly marked. The drawing 
made from the type shows here a slight curve. 
The thickening of body wall as shown in original description is 
quite characteristic of specimens examined. In an examination of 
twenty mounted specimens no circumgenital glands were found. 
Aspidiotus feinaldi Ukll. subspecies albiventer .subsp, nov. Plate IV, 
Figs. 15, lO. 
Abundant on the trunk from the ground up. When the tree is 
wet the exposed ventral scales stand out almost like fine flakes of 
snow. 
In the orange exuviae, and in the mode of congregating and shape of 
scale, this insect favors ancyclus. The color of the scale is lighter and 
the structure of the female precludes the possibility of its being 
ancyclus. The Putnam scale prefers the branches, this scale the 
trunk. I have been unable to find a species described in the liter-
