92 Diaspis. 



tibia. Genital spike about as long as abdomen. Length (including genital 

 spike) 0*85 mm. 



Habitat. — I found this insect thickly clustered on the buds of Fagrcea 

 zeylaiiica in the Haldumulla district. The winged males were emerging in 

 April. 



This species is very close to D. rosic, Sandb. The uncarinated scale of the 

 male will help to distinguish the Ceylon insect.
