 and second lobes; a similar one just mesad of third lobe; and 

 a smaller one mesad of fourth lobe.

This is a very distinct species, somewhat related to Targionia 

 mooeri (Green), from India, but easily recognized by the nu- 

 merous lobes and large claviform thickenings or glands, which 

 recall those of Chrysomphalus quadriclavatus (Green), found 

 on Murraya exotica in Ceylon. Green calls these structures 

 clubbed paraphyses. It is rather remarkable that the Mexican 

 Chrysomphalus rhizophorae, which has groups of circumgenital 

 glands and is not closely related to Targionia merrilli, also has 

 very long paraphyses. I give a sketch of the caudal end of 

 this insect (not before figured) for comparison.
