Host and distribution.—On leaves, branches and trunk of Platamis racemosa (sycamore), Pasadena, Calif., and Stevens Creek, Santa Clara Co., Calif. This is the only species of MargarodincB as yet recorded in which the mouthparts are retained in the adult female, a fact that seems amply to justify the naming of a new genus. The adult female appears, aside from the possession of mouth-parts, to approach most closely the genus Steingelia Nassonow^ a genus.

The latter species was referred by its author to the genus Kuwania Ckll., but it is obviously not very closely related to the type species, K. quercus (Kuw.) as cotype specimens of the latter before me show, the most significant dififerences being in the structure of the legs. Whether it is a synonym of 5. gorodetskia Nass., as suggested by Sasscer in his Catalogue of Recently De- scribed Coccidae for 1915, can hardly be determined without know- ledge of the larval forms which is lacking in the case of both these species. Credit for the discovery of the species here described is due Dr. A. G.
