Females propagating without ovisac, subterranean, losing feet and antennæ

Aclerda.

Note.—The genus Physokermes, Targioni-Tozzetti, is placed by Signoret (loc. cit., 1874, p. 87) amongst those which here form this subdivision; but there seems to be no sufficient distinction between it and Lecanium.

Secretion felted, scarcely apparent on adult female, conspicuous on male pupæ and female of early stages; edge fringed
