Excerpt from Scale-Insects in New Mexico
In order that the fruit-grower may be better enabled to recognize the various genera and Species of scale-insects, a few paragraphs devoted to their classification.
They constitute the family known as the Coccidae, and belong to the Homoptera, which is generally accepted by entomologists as a division of the order Hemiptera. Other familiar examples of the Homoptera are the plant-lice (aphididae), the seventeen-year Cicada, the vine leaf-hopper, and the tree-hoppers. The cochineal and lac insects belong to the Coccidae.
