360 THE COCCIDAE 



lobes incised lobelets of second pair larger than those of third, mesal 

 lobelet of both pairs larger than their lateral lobelets; plates slightly 

 longer than lobes, arranged 0, 1, 1, 10-11, those of each lateris ar- 

 ranged l-l-3-5or6; latadentes bearing oraceratubae located in median, 

 second, and third incisurae, one just cephalad of each third lobe and 

 near middle of lateres; spiracerores wanting. — Canary Islands on 

 Euphorbia. barrancorum Lindgr. 



SPECIES OF REMOTASPIS 

 Scale of adult female white, highly convex, mytilaspiform ; exuviae 

 orange-red; cuticle of body, including pygidium, soft and thin; pygi- 

 dium with median pair of lobes widely separated, as broad as long, 

 broadly rounded, entire except for a distal notch; second pair of 

 lobes incised, mesal lobelet similar in form but larger than a median 

 lobe, lateral lobelet much smaller than mesal, one or two deep notches, 

 so that lobelet appears to have two or three teeth; third pair of lobes 

 deeply notched, mesal lobelet similar in size and form to a median 

 lobe, lateral lobelet smaller, dentate; triangular latadentis caudad of 

 each second lobe and three toothed ones cephalad of third lobe; alta- 

 ceratubae four on each side; plates limited to one in each second 

 incisura, arranged 0, 1, 0, 0; dorsal aspect with two broad bands of 

 oraceratubae; anus located opposite "distal ends" of dorsal oracera- 

 tubae. — Uganda, Africa on unknown shrub dentilohis Newst. 



SPECIES OF ASYMMETRASPIS 



a. Pygidium with second pair of lobes nearly as large as median pair, 

 lateral margin oblique, not incised; median pair of lobes large, 

 broader than long, mesal margins oblique, divergent, distant, distal 

 margins sometimes dentate, subadjacent; dorsal oraceratubae few, 

 in two transverse crescentic rows; plates inconspicuous, arranged 

 0, 0, 2-3, frequently broken; mesospiracerores 4-5; body with ce- 

 phalic half strongly chitinized, caudal half including pygidium not 

 strongly chitinized, line between two areas sharply marked; setae 

 small, arranged two in median incisura, one in each second, and 

 one on cephalic part of each lateris; four submarginal setae cephalad 

 of lobes; anus eleven times its width from caudal margin and 



nearly four times cephalad of vulva. — Transvaal, Africa 



distorta Newst. 

 aa. Pygidium with second pair of lobes always smaller than median pair, 

 b. Pygidium with median pair of lobes serrate, broader than long, 

 short, very distant; second pair of lobes incised, mesal lobelet 

 larger than lateral, longer than a median lobe, much narrower, 

 bluntly rounded, entire, lateral lobelet subtriangular, generally 

 notched on both margins; plates long, slender, arranged 0, 1, 2, 

 those of each lateris located one near second lobe, other at 

 cephalic end; surface with several large clear vacuole-like oval 

 areas; mesospiracerores 1-3, mesosperitreme depressed; surface of 

 cuticle reticulate; altaceratubae apparently five on each side; 

 brevaceratubae distinct; anus over twelve times its width from 



caudal margin. — Uganda, islands of Lake Victoria, Africa 



tcnuidisculis Newst.
