encircling the opening but without a 
conspicuous spine collar around this, 
with, so far as can be determined, 4 
pairs of long tubular abdominal spir¬ 
acles; derm with the usual quadrilocu- 
lar disk type cf pores occurring both 
dorsally and vent rally, these all appar¬ 
ently rather lightly chitinized; with 
setae occasionally both dorsally and 
ventrally, these slightly but not con¬ 
spicuously clustered anterior to the 
genital opening; with the usual 11 
marginal and 10 dorsal clusters of 
spines, the latter broad, complete 
bands, each extending close to its 
corresponding marginal cluster on each 
side; ovisac band broad, interrupted 
posteriorly, made up of spines only, 
with a single row of scattered quad- 
rilocular disk pores along the posterior 
margin, these somewhat larger and 
more heavily chitinized than the aver¬ 
age for the remainder of the body; 
band inclosing 5 narrow, well-separated, 
loose transverse rows of spines, the 
anterior 3 extending close to the ovisac 
band on each side, the posterior 2 
distinctly shorter; anal ring short oval, 
almost circular, pore band on each half 
divided into two parts posterior to the 
middle seta only, broad, plainly but 
not conspicuously angulate anteriorly 
and posteriorly, the ends of the two 
halves slightly but distinctly separated 
from each other; with the usual 6 anal 
ring setae. 
This species has been described from 
two mounted and a very few un¬ 
mounted specimens from Loona de 
Joaquin, Oriente Province, Cuba, on 
Graffenriedia chrysandra (Melanosto- 
maceae), collected by C. H. Ballou and 
S. C. Bruner, July 20,1922 (coll. No. 366). 
The types are in the United States 
National Collection of Coccidae.

Reference.— Cockerell, 1898, Ann. 
and Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) 2: 402. 
Adult female.— Dried body very 
broad oval, nearly circular, naked dor¬ 
sally except for marginal and paired 
median tufts of secretion, in this 
respect superficially resembling 
Orthezia insignis to a marked 
degree, marginal tufts of secre¬ 
tion flattened, platelike, some¬ 
what curved, the posterior ones 
much longer, sometimes ap¬ 
proximating half the length of 
the body and distinctly separ¬ 
ated for their entire length 
up to the anal tufts; ovisac 
variable in length, maximum 
apparently nearly 3 millimeters 
broad, distinctly ribbed dors¬ 
ally; body color of dried spec¬ 
imens dark chestnut brown; 
length of body as mounted 2.1 
millimeters, width 1.75 milli¬ 
meters; derm membranous; 
antennae normally 8-seg- 
mented, length of segments of 
one in microns as follows: I, 
114; II, 107; III, 125; IV, 103; 
V, 96; VI, 86; VII, 79; VIII, 
143; spine, 15; eyestalk flat 
conical, apex rounded, legs 
characteristic for the genus, 
rather stout, tarsal claw fairly 
stout, with 2 or 3 indistinct dent¬ 
icles on the inner face; beak 
short and stout conical; thoracic 
spiracles characteristic for the genus, 
opening in a cluster of spines, but 
without distinctly developed spine 
collar; with 7 pairs of tubular abdomi¬ 
nal spiracles; derm pores of the usual 
quadriloGular disk type, occurring both 
dorsally and ventrally, varying dis¬ 
tinctly in extefit of chitinization and 
size; derm with a few scattered setae 
both dorsally and ventrally, these more 
abundant in a loose cluster anterior 
to the genital opening; derm spines 
arranged in the usual dorsal and mar¬ 
ginal clusters, widely separated, but 
with a slight tendency on the part of 
the dorsal clusters to form a transverse 
band; ovisac band fairly stout ante¬ 
riorly, narrowed posteriorly, made up
