of the male from 1.20 to 1,35 mm. The width of the female varies 

 from 1.48 to 1.52 mm. and of the male from 1.04 to 1.18 mm. Length 

 of the antennae 0.325 mm.; of the legs 0.143 mm. 



The upper part of the body is divided by a furrow into a marginal 

 zone and a central zone. The former shows no trace of division into 

 segments and is a little more than a third as wide as one-half of the 

 width of the whole body. It is variously striated in the proximal 

 part, transversely striated in the distal part, and its margin is minutely 

 lobed, each lobe corresponding to the mouth of the wax-producing 

 gland across which issues a marginal thread of wax. This zone, 

 examined under a high magnifying power, shows also a circular row 

 of small and very short ciha near the base and some small pores 

 which are quite sparse. 



The central zone is variously rugose; it shows distinctly the seg- 

 mental impressions which can bo seen accurately reproduced in figure 

 10, No, 3, 



The compound eyes are dorsal; they are situated some distance 

 behind the anterior margin of the body and are represented on the 

 surface each by a cornea. 



The antennae (fig, 9, No, 3 A) arc entirely ventral, inserted at the 

 side of the beak, scarcely in front of the first pair of legs. They are 

 directly under the same in the rear and join a little on the outside at 

 the level of the posterior margin of the base of the second pair of 

 legs. They appear to be formed of a single joint (at least none can 

 be seen distinctly) ; they are a little attenuated from the base to the 

 apex and quite irregularly annulated. The apex terminates in a 

 point a little curved, almost unguiform. 



The legs (fig. 9, Nos, 3 and 4) are very short, formed of a long and 

 rather wide base which is prolonged into a short subtriangular 

 appendix, truncate at the extremity and provided with a concave 

 membranous disk which constitutes a kind of pulvillus. The anterior 

 legs are distinctly in front, the middle and the hind legs are in the 

 rear. 



The operculum is subtriangular ; at its base it is a little longer than 

 it is wide, with the apex slightly rounded and covering the whole of 

 the lingula. 



ALEUROLOBUS PHILIPPINENSIS, new species. 



Plate 44, figs. 1-20. 



This species has been received from Manila, Philippine Islands, on 

 several occasions; i. e., June 3, 1904, on cultivated shade tree from 

 Prof. C. H. Tyler Townsend; July 4, 1905, another lot, presumably 

 of this same material, was received from Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, 

 who suggested that this was the fii'st alejrrodid recorded from the 

 Philippines, In May, 1910, we received from Mr, George Compere
