56 T. D. A. COCKER ELL. 



Lateral spines distinct, twice as long as the hairs. There is a slight 

 tendency to have ridges, as in olexB, but in the adult this fades away, 

 leaving the sides of the scale obscurely furrowed. 



With a lens the surface of the scale is seen to be covered with 

 minute pale dots. There are pale dots at intervals along the lines 

 of the ridges. 



There can be no reasonable doubt that this is filicum, but in many 

 particulars it resembles L. clypeatum Dough, which must be very 

 closely allied. 



SIXTH SERIES. 



I have studied none of the species of this series. Mr. Crawford 

 appears to have used the name Cryptes in MS. for L. haccatum (see 

 Maskell, Tr. N. Z. Inst., 1891, p. 21), and perhaps, if necessary, 

 this could be brought forward for use in a subgeneric sense.
