Host. — Ilex Integra Thunberg, and the locality Shibuya, Tokyo. 

 The above description is based on a study of paratype material 

 kindly furnished by Mr. Kuwana. 



DiALEURONOMADA, new subgenus. 



In some characters the type-species is related to those of the sub- 

 genus RacMspliora, and in others related to the typical Dialeurodes . 

 So far as our present knowledge goes it is the only example of this 

 type. 



Pupa case elliptic or oval, pale yellowish white in color, with 

 visible visceral markings of bright red-orange or bright yellow; 

 marginal wax tubes evident as distinct, but shallow, irregular tooth- 

 like divisions of the margin, the sutures between which extend a 

 considerable distance mesad; dorsal disk without sculpturing, but 

 near its margin all around one or more rows of moderate sized pores; 

 no rachis present, and on submarginal area no series of large pores; 

 margin all around armed with a series of spines; thoracic tracheal 

 folds distinct, either unsculptured or covered with minute dots; the 

 pore armed within with usual lobe-like projections; vasiform orifice 

 very broadly subcordate, almost semicircular, its inner caudal and 

 lateral margin armed with prominent teeth; operculum almost 

 entirely filling orifice. 



Type. — Dialeurodes {Dialeuronomada) dissimilis Quaintance and 

 Baker. 



DIALEURODES (DIALEURONOMADA) DISSIMILIS. new species. 



Plate 70, figs. 1-4. 



This species was collected by K. S. Woglum on Phyllanilius myrti- 

 jolium at Saharanpur, India, November, 1910. It is represented in 

 the Bureau of Entomology collection by pupa cases only. 



Pwpa case (fig. 1). — Size 0.98 by 0.66 mm.; shape oval, with 

 considerable constriction along sides of thorax, and broadened 

 across the cephalic abdominal segments; form flat. On the leaf 

 only a few specimens are available for study. They lack either 

 dorsal or lateral secretion and are white or grayish in appearance. 

 Under the microscope the cases which are empty are transparent; 

 those, however, which contain the pupa are pale yellowish, with a 

 large irregular central dorsal patch of bright red. A number of 

 circular or oval areas, varying in size, some transparent and others 

 not, are present in this red area. The margin of case (fig. 3) is com- 

 posed of a series of closely placed wax tubes, from which there extend 

 mesad suture-like markings on the derm. Some of these, on the 

 average every third, extend much farther mesad than the others, in 

 this respect resembling considerably those of citri Ashmead. A 

 series of 12 spine-like hairs is present on each side of the case.
