Type: ficus. 
Female puparium (PI. I, fig. 2) circular, convex, 1.5-2.5 millimeters in diameter, 
dark-chocolate brown, grayish at margin. Pellicles (Pl. II, fig. 2), dark-golden 
orange, covered with white, waxy film in perfect specimens; central or subcentral ; 
a small tubercular prominence at center of first pellicle, surrounded by slight 
depression. Margins of pellicles lighter than dise, which is scabrous. Ventral 
scale exceedingly thin, white, waxy; often remaining intact upon leaf after upper 
scale has dropped off and giving the surface a moldy appearance. Male puparium 
(Pl. I, fig. 3), 0.75-0.90 millimeter long, obtuse-oval in outline; of same general 
color as female; pellicle slightly eccentric or near one extremity and dark-orange. 
Adult female (Pl. II, fig. 1): 1.05 millimeters long, 0.90 millimeter wide, nearly 
circular in outline, except posterior area, which is sharply prolonged to apex of 
pygidium; yellow; mesothoracic margin very slightly thickened and bearing a 
spine, minutely denticulate at its base. (PI. II, fig. 4.) Pygidium (PI. I, fig. 3) 
acute laterally; the 6 lobes subequal in size and each having an acute exterior 
tooth; squames deeply compound and fimbriate, 2 in mesal, first and second spaces, 
and 3 in third space beyond third lobe. Beyond last squames, margin is thickened 
and minutely denticulate, dentations in a continuous group, thus differing from 
Chrysomphalus aonidium Linn., to which the seale is most closely related. Mar- 
gins of abdominal segments quite markedly lobed, each bearing a spine. Two 
spines at base of pygidium on each side. Circumgenital glands in 4 groups, the 
posterior with 4 and the anterior with 6 to 8 orifices. Genital aperture between 
posterior pair of glands. Dorsal pores of tubular segments in 2 subparallel series 
on each side, containing 18-23 orifices, extending halfway to base of pygidium. 
Entire margin of insect exterior to pygidium, minutely serrate, with slender spines 
at irregular intervals. Anterior spiracles opposite middle of rostrum, posterior 
halfway between rostrum and base of pygidium. 
Adult male (PI. I, fig. 1) 0.88 millimeter long, including genital style, very 
stout; wing 0.60 millimeter long, yellow; apodema darker; eyes crimson-red and 
occupying nearly entire head. Antenne nearly as long as body, exclusive of the
