type, occurring both dorsally and 
ventrally, most abundant ventrally in 
the posterior abdominal region; 
derm with occasional setae both 
dorsally and ventrally, these most 
abundant ventrally in a cluster 
just anterior to the genital open¬ 
ing; derm with the usual 11 
marginal and 10 dorsal clusters 
of spines, the dorsal spine bands 
wide, continuous from the median 
line to the marginal clusters, 
•except for the interruptions 
formed by the chitinized plates 
on the abdomen, as already 
described; ventral ovisac band 
wide, made up of closely crowded 
spines with a few disk pores 
along the anterior margin, the 
band inclosing 3 loose transverse 
rows of spines, the anterior 
several spines wide, the 2 
posterior little more than irreg¬ 
ular single row’s, all continuous 
and reaching nearly to the 
ovisac band at each end; anal 
ring elongate oval, each half 
with the usual inner and outer 
pore bands with the inner margin 
distinctly angulate anteriorly 
and posteriorly, and the bands 
of each half joined anteriorly but 
more or less distinctly separated behind;

This species has been described from 
five mounted and two or three un¬ 
Ballou, Officina de Sanidad Vegetal, 
Havana, Cuba. The specimens were 
collected at Pico Turquino, Oriente 
Province, Cuba, on Palicourea crocea 
(Rubiaceae), July 22, 1922, by C. H. 
Ballou and S. C. Bruner under 
No. 364.

Adult female. —Stout oval, length 
with secretion little more than 3 milli¬ 
meters, width about 2.5 millimeters, 
very slights narrowed anteriorly; 
ovisac short, average length about 2.5 
millimeters, presumably completely 
covered both dorsally and ventrally 
with white secretionary plates, and 
these, in a portion of the dorsal area 
at least, forming overlapping scalelike 
plates similar to those of cheilanthi, but 
this secretion much too incomplete for 
description in the specimens available 
for examination; length as mounted 
about 3 millimeters, width 2.5 milli¬ 
meters, broad oval, very slightly 
narrowed anteriorly; derm membran-
