in length. Anterior spiracles opposite apex of rostrum and halfway to lateral 
margin, with a few stigmatic orifices anteriorly. Mentum subtriangular. Pos- 
terior spiracles conspicuous. Abdominal segments easily differentiated and 
strongly lobed at margins; first segment spineless, second with 3, third and fourth 
with 4 spines each. Thoracic cuticle not especially chitinous; irregularly papil- 
liate. Pygidium (PI. VI, fig. 3) narrower than long, pale-ochraceous, slightly 
darker than abdominal margins. Anal orifice three times its own diameter, from 
anterior margin of pygidium, protected on each side by a longitudinal fold, the 
2 converging posterior to anus and exteriorly to dise of pygidium in parallel lines. 
‘ircumgenital glands in 5 groups, the median with 4 orifices, the anterior lateral 
with 6 and the posterior with 5 to 6. The grouping is not well defined. Median 
lobes broad, their surfaces crenulate, rounded, and having a distinct tooth at each 
side; second pair of lobes double, their margins straight. A median, acute tuber- 
cle in mesal space, with a long spinous squame on either side; 2 squames between 
first and second double lobes; 2 beyond second double lobes, 2 groups of 2 each 
toward base of pygidium. Margin of pygidium beyond lobes thickened and mi- 
nutely serrated, with 3 prominent teeth, in the first 2 of which are 2 oval, gland- 
ular orifices, in the basal of which, one. Another similar orifice between median 
and second lobes, making total of 6 for each side. Genital orifice one-third distance 
from median group of circumgenital glands to posterior margin. Numerous, 
circular, dorsal pores irregularly arranged, 2 being submedian posteriorly, 1 below 
each of second lobes and remainder near center of disk. 
Adult male not known. 
Eggs (Pl. V, fig. 3) 0.28 millimeter long, 0.11 millimeter wide, of a rather light 
purple, very regularly arranged in puparium (PI. V, fig. 4). 
Larva (Pl. VI, fig. 2) 0.29 millimeter long, 0.11 millimeter wide, slender, some- 
what polygonal, bright-yellow, having a prominent spine on posterior, lateral 
margin of mesothorax. Antenne slender, transversely striate, with few hairs, 
2 stout ones at tip; a few spines on posterior and anterior extremities, 2 sub- 
median caudal sete one-third length of body. Tarsal knobbed hairs twice length 
of ungues,

This species differs from L. cocculi Green in having no cephalic 
transverse fold, in the ventral scale being incomplete, in the color and 
disposition of the eggs, and in the form of the median lobes. In addition, 
the general appearance of the scale and the perceptible prolongation of 
the anterior, waxy, horn-like projections readily differentiate it as a 
separate species. 
I take pleasure in naming this species for my friend Richard C. Me- 
tregor, a most diligent collector and an accurate observer of insect life 
in the Philippines. 
Lepidosaphes unicolor n. sp. 
Female puparium (PI. VII, fig. 1) 1.80-1.90 millimeters long, 0.50 millimeter 
wide, of about the same general shape and size as lL. megregori n. sp., except 
that fore end of first pellicle is more acute and marginal flattening is hardly per- 
ceptible; of a dark-red or dark-cherry-brown including both pellicles, except a 
lighter patch on sides and caudal end of second. Both pellicles with median 
carina, puparium transversely multicarinate (usually 7 carine), the carine sep-
