Differs from A. dictyospermi in having the lobes of more equal size 

 and in the much smaller and more ill-defined paraphyses. 



Aspidiotus (Chrysomphalus) malleolus, n. sp. (PI. H, figs. 5, 6.) 



9 Puparium opaque snowy white ; dense, broad and flat ; irregu- 

 larly deltoid. Pellicles pale straw-colour, usually marginal. Long 

 diameter 4'50 to 5*50 mm. 



$ Puparium similar but very much smaller. Length 2'25 mm. 



Adult 9 (fig. 5) rather densely chitinous, elongate ; cephalotho- 

 racic segment broadest, with a deep constriction behind ; mesothoracic 

 segment narrowest ; segments well-defined, but margins not produced, 

 Pygidium (fig. 6) with eight rather small but stout rounded lobes, their 

 outer edges obscurely emarginate. Squames rather small but pro- 

 jecting beyond the lobes, not conspicuously fimbriate. Six large con- 

 spicuous clavate paraphyses and many smaller ones. Circumgenital 

 glands numerous, in two curved groups. Median dorsal area of 

 pygidium conspicuously reticulate (as in A. trilobitiformis and its allies). 

 Length 1'75 to 2'25 mm. 



Habitat. — On under surface of leaves of Mimusops hexandra. Ele- 

 phant pass, N. P. March. 



The specific name has been suggested by the hammer-like form of 

 adult female. 



Aspidiotus (Chrysomphalus) cistuloides. n. sp. (PI. 1, figs. 7, 8). 



9 Puparium (fig. 7) dull blackish-brown ; broadly oval, somewhat 

 pointed behind ; the ventral scale dense and strongly developed, the 

 hinder portion steeply up-tilted and projecting beyond the margin 

 of the dorsal scale. Dorsal scale rather strongly convex ; subconical ; 

 the pellicles placed on the summit, nearer the anterior extremity. 

 Larval pellicle only exposed, reddish. Length 1*35 mm. Breadth 

 about 1 mm. 



$ Puparium of same colour, but flattened, smaller and more elongate. 

 Length 1*25 mm. Greatest breadth 0*75 mm. 



Adult 9 turbinate ; a deep constriction separating the pro- and meso- 

 thorax and a less-marked constriction behind the meta-thorax. Derm 

 rather densely chitinous. Margin of pygidium (fig. 8) strongly cristate. 

 There are six lobes, with difficulty distinguishable from the other 

 marginal prominences. Median pair bluntly conical, with slightly 

 emarginate sides. Second and third pairs sharply conical, each with a 

 denticle on outer margin. Second pair smallest ; third pair largest.
