few pits. Caudal half of lateral portion of body plicate. Color 
very dark brown, pits nowliere deep, unpitted surface shiny. 
Derm, when bleached shows numerous gland pores. 
Antennse six jointed. Drofessor Cockerell addsi *‘This species 
occasionally shows 7 jointed antennie.” The third joint about yj. 
length of whole member, the sixth shows distinct compression 
which suggests a suture but none could be found in specimens 
examined. Individual lengths and comparative sizes of segments 
shown in figure. 
Leg, size of segments variable. Trochanter prominent. Limits 
of forms of this species studied: 
C. 120-140; tr. 68; fern. 180 -204 (including tr) ; tib. 120-152; 
tars. 80-88: cl. 12-12. 
Only one long slender tarsal digitule seen, knobbed: two short 
stout digitules belong to the claw.

Lecanium kansasense, nov. sp. Plate'§^EB 4, 5. 
Female, long. 3 to 5I, lat. 2i to 3I , alt. remains constant at 
2, IX. Color dark brown, very shiny, derm apparently thick, 
when boiled in KOH becomes translucent retaining some coloring. 
Derm checkered with numerous gland pits. Some scales, when 
taken, March, ’g8, were sparsely covered with white powder. 
When scale is removed distinct oval ring with anal indentation 
distinctly apparent upon bark of host. 
On median surface of dorsum is a smooth space, oval-shaped 
and slightly raised, bordered on each side bj’ row of punctures. 
Some specimens show slight smooth elevation and another row of 
punctures laterad of first rows, so that boss from long focus appears 
to be encircled by two rows of pits. Lateral and caudal aspects 
plicate, cephalic aspect minutely wrinkled. 
Antennae six jointed, structure, average length, and arrangement 
of hairs shown in figure. Third joint a little longer than 
4 I 5 1 - 6 . Segments always well marked. Terminal hair equal in 
length to proximal joint. 
Leg strongly chitinized, does not bleach as readily as derm. 
Number and position of digitules, average length of segments and 
chadotaxy shown in figure.

1 am inclined to associate with this species scales of f.Cianium.
