THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 63 



Fore wings with two irregular, broken bands of reddish, each crossing 

 wing about equidistant on each side of caudal flexure of vein. There is 

 also a small central spot, almost caudad of flexure, and a more or less 

 evident spot at tip of vein. A small, irregular spot also occurs caudad of 

 veinlet, near base of wing. 



(^ . Very like female, but smaller. Penis and valves of genitalia 

 rather slender, sickle-shaped and acute. 



Specimens on orange ; collected by Mr. C. L. Marlatt, Hakato, 

 Japan, May 21, 1901. Adults bred out by Mr. Marlatt. This species 

 was also taken at Kumomoto, Japan, by Mr. Marlatt, on May 17, 1901. 

 Described from numerous specimens of eggs, larv?e and pupa-cases. 

 Adults described from a few imperfect females and one male in balsam 

 mounts. Types in U. S. National Museum. 



Alejirodes spinifera, n. sp. 



Egg. — Exclusive of stalk, .2 mm. long by about .1 mm. wide ; 

 yellowish, curved, and marked with rather minute, closely-set polygonal 

 areas. Stalk quite short, holding egg in more or less upright position on 

 leaf 



Larva. — ^Regularly elliptical, appearing brownish on leaf, varying to 

 black, with evident, but short, cottony fringe of wax all around from 

 marginal wax tubes ; dorsum without secretion. Size, probably in second 

 stage, about .4 mm. x .3 mm. Margin distinctly crenulated all around, 

 incisions between wax tubes short and acute. Abdominal segments quite 

 distinct, thoracic less so. Dorsum set with very strong, heavy spines as 

 follows : a row on each side about equidistant between the median 

 longitudinal dorsal line and margin of case, of seven spines each or 

 fourteen in all. Eight of these occur on the abdomen and six on the 

 thorax. More centrally on the thorax are six equally developed spines in 

 pairs. Vasiform orifice, which is somewhat elevated on a subconical, 

 truncated protuberance, subcircular in outline \ operculum subcircular to 

 subcordate, nearly filling orifice. Lingula short, nearly obsolete. 



Pupa Case. — As seen on leaf, with reflected light, jet black, con- 

 siderably convex, the strong, dark spines plainly evident. Dorsum 

 without secretion, but there is a compact, short, cottony fringe all around 

 from marginal wax tubes. Size of mature specimens about 1.33 mm. x 

 I mm., roundly elliptical in shape. On dorsum there is a submarginal 

 row all around of strong, dark, acute spines, projecting considerable above 

 and beyond case, nine or ten on each side. There is also a subdorsal rovv
