This species has been redescribed 
from the following material: Organ 
Mts., N. Mex., on Cheilanthes fendleri 
(Polypodiaceae, Order Filicales), col¬ 
lected by J. D. Tinsley, August, 1897 
(type). There appears to be no sub¬ 
sequent record of its continued exist¬ 
ence or wider distribution.

Only the male of this species has been 
described and an examination of the de¬ 
scription shows clearly that the species 
tween the median and marginal tufts; 
body of female, as mounted on slide, 
about 1.5 millimeters long by 1 milli¬ 
meter wide; derm membranous through¬ 
out except for median longitudinal 
anterior chitinized stripe extending 
posteriorly from the front margin of 
the head and varying somewhat in 
extent and conspicuousness; antennae 
normally 8-segmented, measurements 
of segments of one in microns as fol¬ 
lows: I, 70; II, 79; III, 100; IV, 107; 
V, 89; VI, 93; VII, 82; VIII, 186; 
spine, 25; eyestalk stout conical, apex 
more or less distinctly flattened; legs 
not unusual for the genus, but long in

through median area of anterior portion of ovisac band, X 220; C, simple derm pores, X 500; D, body 
seta, X 500; E, dorsal quadrilocular pore, accompanied by simple pore, X 1,500; F, ventral quadrilocular 
disk pore, X 1,500; G, disk pore from ovisac band, X 1,500 
can not be assigned to the genus 
Orthezia, but, as was suggested by 
Professor Cockerell, it is probably the 
male of a pseudococcine form, and very 
likely the male of a species of Puto or 
Ceroputo. The species was described 
from California.

Adult female. —External appear¬ 
ance most nearly resembling that of 
graminis and nigrocincta, in that there 
is a distinct exposed longitudinal derm 
band on the dorsum on each side be- 
proportion to the size of the body, in 
this particular resembling the propor¬ 
tions in insignis and praelonga, tarsal 
claw slender, nearly straight, inner 
face with 2 or 3 indistinct denticles on 
apical half; beak stout conical, apex 
rounded, without traces of segmenta¬ 
tion at any point, with the usual 2 
pairs of thoracic spiracles, the opening 
of each of these within a cluster of 
spines, but surrounded neither by a dis¬ 
tinct spine collar nor by differentiated 
spines of any kind; with 7 pairs of long 
tubular abdominal spiracles; derm pores 
of the quadrilocular disk type only, 
these scattered sparingly over the 
body, most abundant in the inner 
portion of the ovisac band, each of
