pores and hairs here arranged in fairly definite transverse rows 
instead of scattered as in the anterior area; this posterior area 
surrounded by a band of heavy gland pores, described later, and 
with large, stout, tapering, apparently hollow spines, which may 
sometimes be as much as 114 » long, between these two areas 
and between them and the stout blunt spines of the dorsum and 
the margin of the venter, while interspersed among these sharp- 
pointed spines are long slender hairs, and occasional groups 
of two to four smaller slender hairs, all springing from a single 
heavily chitinized base; dorsal multilocular gland pores appar- 
ently of two types, some quadrilocular with the loculi circular, 
the others with an indeterminate number of smaller loculi ar- 
ranged in a chain around a circular, oval, or somewhat trian- 
gular center, both of these types with very heavily chitinized 
borders; ventrally with about four somewhat different types of 
gland pores, around the mouth parts and behind them with small 
quadrilocular pores set in shallow cups, behind the posterior legs 
with a heavy circular band of quadrilocular pores set in deep 
cups and with large loculi, this circle surrounding the area in 
which the genital opening is placed; this area with transverse 
rows of disk pores with from three to six central loculi, the disk 
pores surrounding the genital opening placed in a large, closely 
crowded cluster, each with a single central nucleus and numerous 
indistinct loculi in a band around it; elsewhere on the ventral 
surface, particularly among the conical spines, with glands of 
the last type, but much more heavily chitinized and more distinct. 
This species has been described from seven specimens mounted 
on slides and from a considerable number of unmounted spec- 
imens. 
Luzon, Laguna Province, Mount Maquiling, on Pithecolobium 
seutiferum, July, 1918 (coll. Baker): Manila, on Peltophorum 
ferrugineum, 1911 (coll. Compere 20186). The types are in 
the United States National collection of Coccide. : 
While it is believed that the adult female has been characterized 
in the preceding description, there have been no larve or eggs 
found with any of the specimens. The Manila specimens are 
almost certainly immature, as none of them exceeds 9 millimeters 
in length. The presence of such a number and variety of ven- 
tral glands indicates the probability of the development of special 
secretions at the time of oviposition, and it may be found that 
when the female is fully mature she is even larger than the di- 
mensions given in the description. Fully mature females, young 
larve, and males should certainly be looked for in the Philippines.
