hairs of the upper edge of the male fore tibiae are longer. The middle and hindcoxae are black, the fore come more or less fus- cous : tarsi black, the remainder of the legs variable in color from fuscous to piceons. The front metatarsi of the male enlarged, ovoid, the distal third of the inner side is excised for the reception of the remainder of the tarsus, which thus is not attached at the tip of the metatarsus.
The front tibiae of
the males are somewhat thickened. Wings
cinereous-hyaline, stigma1 spot faintly
brown, neuration normal.
Seven males, twelve females and the
gynandromorphic specimen.

Wind River (IX, 2, 1895) Wyoming.
This species seems to be allied to
seriata, Loew, of the Eastern States,
which also has ovate metatarsi in the
males. As Dr. Loew does not mention
the place of articulation of the second
joint, it may be presumed that it is ter- minal to the metatarsus as in the other
forms of the genus. Moreover, the
middle tibiae of the male seriata are
provided with rather long pubescence, a
character not observable in Wkeeleri.
A NEW COCCID ON ROOTS OF
RUBUS.
BY T. D. A. COCKERELL.
Phmacoccm rubivorus, n. sp. - 'j! - Hem- ispherical, with the form of a half-pea, dis- tinctly scgrnented,pale pinkish, thinly cov- ered with white mealy secretion ; no cottony appendages.
Boiled in liquor potassae, they
stain the liquid amber ycllow, and the skin becon~es colorless. Anal ring with 6 hairs. Caudal tubercles very low and inconspicuous, with short bristles.
Legs and antennae very
pale brownish; claw with asmall denticle on inner side; digitules slender, with small knobs. Antennaepjointed, formula approxi- mately 92(35)6(471)8. The following meas- urements are in p:-
Antennae segments ; (I.) 36, (a,) .å´;I (3.) 4% (4.) 397 (5.1 459 (6.1 43, (7.1 393 (8.) 30, (9.1 69.
Middle legs ; femur + irochanter, 222 ;
tibia, 174 ; tarsus, y~ ; claw, 27. Of course these ~nea~uien~ents will vary, no two indi- viduals being exactly alike.
The females studied contained very well- developed embryos. These showed small
spines, round glands, and a small patch of spines on each lateral margin of each segment. Ha6.- Beulah, New Mexico, about 8,000 ft. alt., end of March, 1901, on roots of Rubusstri- gosus.

This interesting species does not have the superficial appearance of a Phenacoccus, though the antennaeand legs are as in that genus. I suspect that when we know the
male it will turn out to be congeneric with the little-known European Teirura ruit de- scribed by Lichtenstein, concerning which see Entomologist, 1900, p. 86.
A NEW SPECIES OF CHRYSOPA
FROM TEXAS.*
BY JESSE I?. MCCLEKDON.
Chrysopa bimaculata, sp. nov. Length to
tip of wings 11.5 mm-r3.5 mm., alar expanse 21-25 mm.
Mouth short, antenna slightly shorter

than the wing; prothorax broader than long; wings moderately narrow, anterior pair
slightly pointed, posterior more acutely, in anterior wing divisory veinlet of third cnhi- tal areole exceeding the first cross-vein of the first radial sector.*
Face stramineous, vertex green, gnlar re- gion stramineous, segments of palpi black, ineons, darker towards apex, first article with a red longitudinal line above ; thorax green, paler beneath, prothorax with a luteo-rufous strcak on each side from anterior to posterior margin; abdomen green; legs pale green,
tarsi yellowish, nngues fuscous; wing veins green, in anterior wing all cross veins black or varied with black, in posterior wing costal their articulations colorless, antennae stram- cross-veins and a few others black, ptero- stigma light green.
Ì ~h~ position of this veinlet hat been noted in detcrip- Coloration of alcoholic specimen : green ions of many species of Chrysoja, but on examining a faded to pale yellow, line on first article of limber of specimens of Cliryw& exlenm, I found it to antennae fuscous, streak on orothorax faded vary so much as to be of no value in determining that ~pccies. Whether it varies in C. biwza.aZa&z, I am nnable out, black retained.
