Li9caniodiaepis celtidls Ckll., sub. sp. pruiaosus sub. sp nov. Plate XVII, 
Figs. I, 2. 
Female: long. 4, lat. 3, alt. i, /a. Median Carina and inter- 
rupted transverse ridges distinctly seen in younger specimens, less 
apparent on dorsum of old scales. Scales slightly convex, sides 
of dorsum arise from bark of host. Color pale ochrous with 
frosty white covering. The color and shape resemble celtidis but 
in cdtidis the frosting is coarser and (fltidis does not show median 
Carina or segmentation on dorsum. 
Anal margins^TVearing hairs, two bristles prominent on tips of 
each anal plate. Antenna; eight jointed, joints distinct, measure- 
ments and chiEtotaxy shown in figure. 
Ventrum distinctly segmented showing chitinized plates trans- 
verse and longitudinal. Mouth parts prominent, setas 1.48 mm. 
long. 
Antennae 8 jointed, basal joint, 36; 2d, 24; 3d, 36; 4th, 40; 5th, 
40; 6th, 28; 7th, 24; 8th, 20. 
Habitat on bark of U/mns anicricana, Lawrence, April, 1898. 
1 have not seen the origbial description of L. cdtidis Ckll. but 
I received some time ago specimens of cdtidis from Prof. Cockerell, 
and have made therefrom a sketch of the antenna for comparison. 
Antenna of />niinosiis is eight segmented; the basal segment bearing 
one minute hair, the second has two prominent hairs, third and 
fourth joints naked; fifth, six and seventh bearing each one hair; 
the terminal segment carries seven bristles. The whole member 
is short and stout. The eight jointed antenna of cdtidis is longer, 
more slender, and bristles were observed on the second, fifth and 
terminal joints, the terminal joint bearing eight. The differences 
in length of respective segments are shown by the measurements 
attending. The characteristic structures of the scales, as before 
stated, are distinctions of moment. 
The genera, Chionaspis and Puhinaria will be discussed in the 
next paper upon this subject.
