side of posterior area marking position of ventral egg cavities. These cavities 
lined with an orange-colored, viscid substance which soon dries upon exposure. A 
submarginal translucent area and a similar median one through which movements 
of internal organs are visible. An irregular, broken line of dark-brown spots, 
internally, shows through dorsal wall and probably marks lower part of ali- 
mentary canal. Dorsal surface minutely punctuate, and covered with a very thin, 
waxy substance in addition to a well-defined, longitudinally curved series of trip- 
licate, polygonal, waxy lamine, the smaller of each of which is uppermost. 
These lamine are arranged as follows: A median series of 6 (sometimes the pos- 
terior is divided to form a seventh), a submedian of 9, a submarginal of 13 to 16 
and a marginal of 28 to 30, on each side. (PI. VIII, fig. 1.) The lamin mark 
the insect’s stages of growth. (PI. X, fig. 4.) Regularly arranged suboval pores 
over entire dorsum (PI. VIII, fig. 2), but on each side of anal plate there is an 
outwardly and anteriorly curving series of 4 groups of pores. (PI. VIII, fig. 7.) 
Marginal area with reniform, radiating cells arranged like scales on a fish. Anal 
opercular scales (Pl. VIII, fig. 5) triangular, pointed; the free edge being about 
equal to or slightly longer than base. Stigmatic clefts circularly incised at 
margin and invariably with 3 long, stout, blunt, curved spines (PI. X, fig. 2), 
these spines not attaining outer margin, being removed their own length there- 
from. Margin with series of flabelliform scales slightly overlapping (PI. VIII, 
fig. 4), which are wider in proportion to their length than those of P. (Lecanium) 
eapansum Green. Between the bases of flabelle, the margin is minutely dentate, 
the number of dentations being nonuniform. Eyes, red-brown, shining, placed 
two-thirds distance from rostrum to margin. Antenne (PI. VIII, fig. 3) indis- 
tinctly 3 jointed, placed nearly in a line with and between rostrum and eyes at 
3 times their own length from latter. Legs wanting. Genital orifice (Pl. VIII, 
figs. 5 and 6) obovate, anterior to anal aperculum at a distance equal to length of 
latter; containing an interior series of small and an exterior of large glands or 
pores. Exterior to orifice on ventrum minute spinnerets in 4 ill-defined groups on 
each side. 
Male puparium (PI. IX, fig. 2) 2.27 millimeters long, 1.20 millimeters wide, 
elongate-oval, silicious or waxy in structure, more convex than female and con- 
sisting of 17 plates, the posterior median being double the length of the anterior, 
thus differing from that of P. eapansum Green in which the posterior median 
plate is divided, forming 2, or a total of 18. Upon each plate a series of widely 
separated waxy lamin, indicating larval covering. (PI. X, fig. 4.) 
Adult male (PI. IX, fig. 1), length, including genitalia, 1.55 millimeters; length 
of wing 1.18 millimeters, of a uniform, pale yellowish-ocher, apodema darker- 
ocher. Eyes bright crimson. Antenne somewhat thickly and evenly setose from 
base to apex and with 3 knobbed hairs on last segment. Nervures of wings 
slightly darker than membrane. Legs as setose as antenne; tarsal claw acutely 
conical. 
Eggs (Pl. XI, fig. 2) pale-yellow, 0.38 millimeter long. 
Larve (PI. XI, fig. 1) of same color as eggs, 0.48 millimeter long, 0.26 milli- 
meter wide, the caudal sete one-seventh length of body. Eyes brown-red, mar- 
ginal. Anal cleft strong and deep (PI. X, fig. 1.) 
Habitat: Philippines, Manila (Banks, Coll.). 
On under sides of leaves of Cocos nucifera L. in fair abundance. 
Type: No. 10141 in Entomological Collection, BUREAU oF SctENcE, Manila, P. I. 
This species differs from P.-expansum Green chiefly in the color, the 
shape of the flabellw, and the number of spines in stigmatic cleft, in the 
female, in the number of plates in the male puparium and the color of 
the apodema of the male.
