surface with the apex forming a rounded protuberance in the 

 centre and a fold-like margin on the outer edges down to the 

 anal appendage, of six broad segments, the 2nd and 3rd thoracic 

 segments without any signs of legs, the 3rd with two long legs, 

 the femora small but stout, the tibiae medium, of uniform thick- 

 ness, tarsal joint as long or longer than tibia, of a uniform 

 thickness, rounded at tip, without any sign of tarsal claw ; anal 

 appendage a rounded peg-like tail, which fits into and closes the 

 basal orifice of the gall. 



^. Galls unknown to me. Schrader says that they are small 

 conical galls often growing upon the same leaves as the female 

 ones. In only one instance have I found conical galls upon the 

 same leaves ; these were very numerous, more rounded at the 

 apex than those described and figured by Schrader, and appeared 

 ]nuch more like aborted female galls. 



(J. Coccid : Schrader says, " of a red colour, with anal seta3, the 

 body, legs, and antennae very hirsute ; length about two lines." 



Hab. — The female galls are very plentiful, generally found on 

 the leaves of young trees either growing singly or in twos or 

 threes upon the leaves. At Sutherland, near Sydney, I found 

 them very plentiful, and full grown in February and March on 

 Eucalyptus capitellata.

9. Gall round, from |- to J of an inch in diameter, green to dull 

 yellow, growing upon the leaves either singly or in groups of two 

 or three, often quite aborting the leaves ; basal orifice small, 

 circular, opening on the underside of the leaf ; sometimes there is 

 a false chamber, irregular in form (between the outer surface of 

 the leaf and the gall), into which the basal orifice opens. Gall 

 solid, with transverse structure, the innec coating thin and horny, 

 closely fitting round the coccid. 



9. Larva pale yellow, roundish-oval ; head rounded in front, 

 with short conical 4-jointed antennte, eyes small, round, black, 

 close behind the base of the antennse ; legs long, slender, termi- 

 nating in two liooked claws at the tip of the tarsi.
