band. MARGIN-Marginal setae (Fig. 43, B)
stout, straight, tapering to acute apex.
Spiracular setae (Fig. 43, D) shorter and stouter
than marginal setae, and usually separated from
each other by a single marginal seta.

Foreign: Apparently, large hickory lecanium
does not occur outside the U. S.


 Map XV. Distribution of Eulecanium caryae.

BIOLOGY: Nymphs overwinter on twigs and
branches and mature during the spring. Each
female lays 100 + eggs beneath her body. The
eggs hatch by late June, and the nymphs migrate
to the undersides of leaves to feed. In the fall,
they return to twigs and branches to overwinter
(Wallner 1969).
ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE: Apparently not
economically important because of natural con-
trols (Williams & Kosztarab 1972).
NATURAL ENEMIES: Cheiloneurus albicornis
Howard is listed by both Peck (1963) and Krom-
bein et al. (1979) for Louisiana.
REMARKS: The presence of quinquelocular
pores on the inner margin of the anal cleft will
separate E. caryae from all other Eulecanium
species in the U. S. In Florida, this scale insect
has been reported only on four recent occasions.
Only 1 microscope slide of a 1st insthr collected
at Sanford, Florida, is available to confirm the
presence of this scale insect in Florida.

 Genus INGLISIA Maskell, 1879

TYPE SPECIES: Inglisia patella Maskell, 1879.
DESCRIPTION: Body of adult female somewhat
circular in outline, often irregular. Derm in
older females sclerotized in median area and ex-
treme margin on dorsum. A longitudinal row or
furrow of pores extending from anal plates to
cephalothorax on dorsum. Dorsal body setae ab-
sent. Anal plates triangular with a large discal
seta, 3 apical setae, 10-12 fringe setae. Anal ring
with 6 setae. Ventral derm membranous
throughout. Antennae reduced to 1 segment.
Legs absent in adult female. Quinquelocular
pores in spiracular furrows and in small groups
posterolateral to vulva on each side. Tubular
ducts in a narrow submarginal band around en-
tire venter. Marginal setae stout, tapering to
acute apex. Spiracular setae not well differen-
tiated from marginal setae; longer, more slender,
usually slightly curved, often with rounded apex;
1 on margin at apex of each spiracular furrow.
NOTES: The above generic description refers
only to I. vitrea as it is the only species of the
genus which occurs in the United States. Many
other species included in the genus are not con-
generic with the type species and appear to be
closer to the genus Cardiococcus Cockerell
(1903b:155).



 INGLISIA VITREA Cockerell

SYNONYMS: Inglisia vitrea Cockerell 1894:
 308
SUGGESTED COMMON NAME: glassy scale
FIELD DESCRIPTION: Possesses a glassy wax
covering with a conspicuous median longitudinal
ridge (Fig. 44A, B). According to Merrill (1953),
the female cover is circular or ovate, irregular,
moderately convex, sometimes indented from
margin, surface roughened. The glassy wax has
radiating striations and also concentric striations
giving this scale insect a very distinctive ap-
pearance.
DESCRIPTION: (Fig. 45) Female body shiny
red-brown with wax covering removed; 3.0 mm
long, 1.5 mm wide. DORSUM Membranous
