SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ON THE COCCIDyE OF CEYLON. 343 



Beyond the third lobe the margin is broken into strongly serrate 

 prominences. Squames and spines small and inconspicuous. Four 

 moderately developed elongate paraphyses on each side, and numerous 

 smaller ones between them. Anal orifice small, elongate, distant from 

 margin about three times its own length. Circumgenital glands con- 

 sisting of a single small group (of from 2 to 4 orifices) on each 

 side, and two or three isolated orifices between them forming a broken 

 median group. Dorsal pores minute and inconspicuous. Length 1 to 

 1*10 mm. 



Adult $ not observed. 



Habitat. — Occurring sparsely on leaves of Cinnamomam. Pera- 

 deniya. January. 



The peculiar form of the female puparium gives it the appearance 

 of a small capsule resting on the leaf. In this particular it closely 

 resembles a species from Java, on Piper nigrum (to be described later 

 under the name of A. capsulatus.) 

 Aspidiotus (Chrysomphalus) quadriclavatus, n. sp. (PI. I, fig. 9.) 

 $ Puparium flat, subcircular, very dark chocolate-brown. Larval 

 pellicle exposed, prominent, of same colour as the secretionary area. 

 Nymphal pellicle completely concealed. Diameter 3 mm. 



$ Puparium similar in colour and texture to that of $ , but 

 smaller and oblong. Length 2 mm. Breadth about 1 mm. 



Adult $ dull pale purplish. Pygidium (fig. 9) with eight stout 

 bluntly pointed lobes, their sides slightly emarginate : the seoond pair 

 somewhat smaller than the others and situated close to the median 

 lobes. Margin beyond the lobes thickened and cristate. There are 

 four very large and conspicuous clubbed paraphyses and two smaller 

 and simple — exterior to the others. ISquaines small and obscure. 

 Dorsal pores small and inconspicuous. Circumgenital glands presum- 

 ably in five groups, but forming together an almost continuous arch, 

 difficult to separate into its component parts, narrowest in the middle and 

 thickening at the extremities. Orifices numerous — 75 to 100. Anal 

 aperture minute. Greater diameter (longitudinal) 1*25 to 1*75 mm. 



Adult $ not observed. 



Habitat, — On upper surface of leaves of Murraya. exotica. Pera- 

 deniya. July. 



Both $ and 9 puparia are very firmly attached to the leaf. It is 

 difficult to remove them entire.
