Adult $ not observed. 



On upper surface of leaves of Carissa spinarum. Elephant Pass, 

 Northern Province. March. 



In the characters of the female puparium, this species approaches 



Aonidia bullata. 



Aonidia crbnulata, Green. 



Taken also at Elephant Pass, N. P., on Memecylon. In these example 

 the number of floriate processes is not constant, sometimes amounting to 

 a total of 30. A few delicate filiform ducts open on the margin. In 

 one example a single conical lobe appears asymmetrically on one side. 



Aonidia planchonioides, Green. 



Adult $ pale yellow: apodema reddish. Body flattish and broad, — 

 especially at point of attachment of wings. 



Aonidia spatulata, Green. (PI. J, fig. 22.) 



Adult $ very pale violaceous : notal plates pale ochreous. Form 

 broad, depressed. Gense very prominent, lobulate. Foot with 4 

 digitules. Terminal joint of antenna (fig. 22) with knobbed hair at 

 apex and a similar one on the side. Wings broadly rounded. 



Aonidia mesuji, Green. (PI. J, fig. 23.) 



Adult $ (fig. 23) almost circular in outline. Lateral margin of 

 abdomen dilated. Colour creamy white : thoracic plates outlined with 

 brownish-purple. Antennae violaceous. Legs pale fulvous. 



Gymnaspis spinomarginata, n. sp. (PI. J, figs. 24, 25.) 



9 Puparium bright yellow ; smooth and polished ; minute ; circular 

 very strongly convex (more than hemispherical) : consisting of the 

 inflated nymphal pellicle with or without an inconspicuous secretionary 

 extension. Larval pellicle deciduous. Diameter about 0*30 mm. 



$ Puparium not observed. 



Adult 9 (fig. 24) yellow : oval : strongly convex : divisions of 

 segments very indistinct : margin closely set with tuberculate tubular 

 spines connected with filiform ducts. Mouth-parts very large. Pygi- 

 dium (fig. 25) with four narrow prominent lobes, each with a sharp 

 tooth-like prominence on outer and inner edges. Compound spiniform 

 squames (?) between and beyond the lobes. A submarginal series of 

 broad semilunar pores — as in Parlatoria. No circumgenital or para- 

 stigmatic glands. Length about 0'25 mm.
