Parlatoria greeni Banks.

This delicate, though prolific, scale is frequently seen in Manila upon 
young, badly cared for coconut trees. It is found upon the upper 
surfaces of the leaves and because of its flat shape and gray color is 
difficult to detect. While not as serious a menace as either of the 
foregoing species, it merits attention because of the possibility of its 
great increase if it is left unchecked. 
Chionaspis candida Banks.

Frequently coconut trees are found the partially opened leaflets of 
which are covered with small, pure-white spots, due to the scales of 
another species of insect differing totally as to color and form from the 
foregoing. This scale multiplies rapidly upon either surface of the 
leaf, usually in the protected parts. As a rule, the female puparium 
oceurs near to a group of male puparia or else with a group of the 
young scales in their first or second molt (Pl. IX). This insect is 
not as nomadic as Aspidiotus destructor Sign., therefore its opportunity 
for debilitating the tree is not as great and the danger from it is not 
to be feared in the same degree as from A. destructor Sign. 
Lepidosaphes mcgregori Banks.

This scale is comparatively rare. It occurs upon both sides of the 
leaves of the coconut, especially on old ones, but seems to prefer that 
part of the upper surface that is near to the midrib. It is always en- 
countered singly and the puparia are seldom distorted as in the case 
with Chionaspis candida Banks. Although rare, it may at any time and 
under favorable conditions propagate to the extent of being injurious. 
The most noteworthy features which distinguish it are the pair of white, 
waxy, horn-like projections on the front of the first pellicle, the light 
color of the female puparium and the regularity of its transverse strie. 
Lepidosaphes unicolor Banks. 
Lepidosaphes unicolor Banks, Phil. Journ, Sci. (1906), 1, No. 8, p. 234. (Pl. VII, figs. 1 to 7.) 
This species is of nearly the same shape and size as the preceding, 
being only distinguished externally by the narrower, interior margin, 
the color of the puparium and the absence of the waxy horns in old 
specimens. It is less frequently met with than L. megregori Banks 
and therefore less likely to prove a menace.
