| Abstract: | Tests (pupal covers) of twenty-eight species of male Coccidae, representing fifteen genera from America north of Mexico, are described and illustrated. Tests of each of the species exhibit morphological differences which are useful in identification. Terminology is given for the sutures, corresponding plates, and related structures of the generalized test and a key is provided for separation of the described species. |
