After maceration the insect is seen to be pyriform (fig. 5) : the 

 thoracic parts broadly oval : the abdomen abruptly narrowed and 

 constricted near its base, terminating in a pair of prominent 

 conical anal lobes (fig. 9). Mouth-parts large: mentum dimerous. 

 Antenna? rudimentary; divisions confused and impossible to define: 

 truncate, with a few stout hairs at apex (fig. 6). Legs 6. atrophied ; 

 each consisting of a stout claw on a rounded chitinous tubercle 

 (fig. 7). Stigmata large and conspicuous. Anal ring with eight 

 stout flattened hairs, finally tapering towards the extremity. 

 There are also some hair-like spines arising from the walls of the 

 anal tube. Anal lobes (fig. 9) prominent: a well defined strongly 

 chitinous patch on the inner edges: each bearing at extremity a 

 long stout seta besides several stout curved spines. Dorsad of 

 the lobes is a triangular chitinous extension of the body, the free 

 extremity rounded and projecting between the lobes, its base 

 continued in a chitinous transverse band which curves inwards 

 and partly encircles the anal ring. Derm closely set with 8- 

 shaped pores of two sizes (figs. 8a and 8c). The larger pores are 

 grouped at definite spots on the dorsum and give rise to the tufts 

 of glassy filaments seen on the living insect. Viewed in profile, 

 at the edge of the body, they are seen to be sunk in shallow 

 cylindrical pits. The smaller 8-shaped pores are scattered over 

 the whole surface of the body and presumably secrete the waxy 

 matter that closely invests the insect. At each of the stigmatic 

 areas, inside the group of large pores, is a band of small circular 

 pores, with minute compound orifices (fig. 8d) extending over both 

 dorsal and ventral surfaces. There are other small circular pores, 

 with larger simple orifices (tig. 8e), scattered irregularly over the 

 surface. And on a level with the point where the abdomen is 

 constricted, are two pairs of circular bodies (fig. 8f), the function 

 of which is obscure. They appear to be seated just below the 

 derm of the dorsal surface. They are chitinous, funnel-shaped, 

 with the base multiperforate like a sieve. They are possibly 

 homologous with the multilocular glands of Cerococcus. Length 

 1-25 to T50 mm.; breadth (across thorax) 1 mm. 



Male puparium whitish or very pale fulvous : thinly coated with 

 granular wax, as in the adult female. Thoracic area with two
