. Annals of the Entomological Society of America. Entomology. 1912] Pseudococciis of South Africa 181 regards measuring in many instances and the method adopted in the scheme used here is to obtain measurements in direct Hnes from points which remain definite with different ways of folding of the legs in mounting. Hence the trochanter is measured with the Fig. 3. Right metathoracic leg of Pseudococciis lounsburyi 9 illustrating scheme of raeasurments. The measurements in m are given in the following order: 1. Length of coxa. 2. Breadth of coxa across base. 3. Length of trochanter plus

The measurements of the seginents of the antenna (one lacking) in this insect illustrate a very good average for the material collected. They are: 58, 64, 44, 26, 42, 28, 36 and 91 /x. The SetcE of the anal lobes unfortunately are missing, while those of the anal ring average from 120m to 128 m- Specimen "c"; Size mounted 3 min. by mm. Antennal Segments: Right—56, 64, 43, 28, 33, 27, 38, 88. Left— 62, 64, 43, 27, 38, 28, 36, 88. The fifth segment of the right antenna in this insect measures only 33 ix. It is a coincidence that this is the least measurement found for this segment, and it is on the same slide as the specimen showing the maximum length for segment IV. One of the setae of the anal lobes is missing. The one remaining measures 156 m, while those of the anal ring average about 108 m-.
