‘arating transversely-striate, paler areas. At posterior end there is a pair of 
subparallel, longitudinal elevations or carine. This feature appears to be 
constant. 
Male puparium not known. 
Adult female (Pl. VII, fig. 3) 0.90 to 0.05 millimeter long, 0.35 millimeter wide, 
of a pale, transparent, cream-color, nearly white, narrow anteriorly, widening 
uniformly to third abdominal segment, then somewhat abruptly rounding to extrem- 
ity. Front rounded; latero-frontal angles of head produeed laterally into spinose, 
concentrically papilliate knobs. (Pl. VII, fig. 4.) Antenne nearer front than 
base of rostrum; secondary spine as long as primary and usually strongly curved. 
First spiracles opposite mentum, nearer margin. Abdominal segments strongly 
produced laterally, then posteriorly. The second, third, and fourth with 3 to 4 
stout spines and the second with a lateral cusp. Pygidium pale-ochraceous. Cir- 
cumgenital glands hardly separated into groups, but consisting of an anteriorly 
curving series of 24 orifices, the median 4 of which are slightly separate from the 
laterals. Anal orifice a little more than its own diameter from base of pygidium; 
genital one-third the distance from the median group of glands to caudal margin. 
Median lobes as in L. megregori n. sp. Second double lobes with margins more 
rounding. Squames pseudo-fimbriate, the single fimbriation indicated on each by 
mere acute tubercle. (PI. VII, fig. 6.) A median acute tubercle is present 
between mesal squames. Marginal orifices, on each side, with cylindrical spin- 
nerets long and narrow; neither as large as in L. megregori n. sp. On dorsal 
area of pygidium are irregularly placed oval discal pores which are quite prom- 
inent in all specimens. 
Adult male not known. 
Eggs (Pl. VII, fig. 5) snow-white, 0.215 millimeter long, 0.10 millimeter wide, 
somewhat conical in form and laid in regular rows beneath puparium. 
Larve (Pl. VII, fig. 7) pale-yellow, 0.23 millimeter long, 0.11 millimeter wide. 
Rather stout oval; front with 4 curved sete, mentum circular, antenne moderately 
stout, setose. Apices of tibie larger than bases; caudal margin with 6 spines on 
each side. 
Habitat: Philippines, Manila (Banks, Coll.).

This scale is quite distinct in appearance from L. megregori n. sp. 
Its color is uniform and the transverse carinw are fewer and less prom- 
inent on the puparium. The 4 irregularly placed discal pores of pygi- 
dium are not present in L. megregori n. sp. The great length and 
shape of the lateral abdominal margins and the shape of the squames 
serve to differentiate this as a new species.

Type: frenchii. 
Adult female (Pl. VIII, fig. 1) 4-5 millimeters long, 3.5-4 millimeters wide; of 
a broad oval, almost circular and very slightly narrower anteriorly; margin with 
shallow, obtuse notches at stigmatic and anal clefts. Of a pale, transparent 
yellow; a distinct marginal area which is applied to leaf and which has its 
interior border marked by a thin, golden line. An orange-yellow patch on each
