 produced at tlio margins. Extremity of pygidium (fig. •!■) rather truncate, with

 eiglit lobes ; the median pair large, stout and conspicuous, extremity pointed, edge 

 slightly incised on each side near the point ; the second and tliird pairs narrow and 

 lanceolate, constricted at base ; fourth pair short, stout, and with incised edges. 

 Margin cristate beyond the lobes. Narrow fimbriate squames between the lobes. 

 Margin somewhat incrassate, with numerous short thickened paraphyses. Median 

 area of pygidium, from apex to beyond anal aperture, darker and more densely 

 chitinous. Cii'cunigenital glands in four groups, each with about twelve orifices. 

 Anterior spiracles with a small group of parastigmatic glands, containing three or 

 four orifices. Length, 1.25 mm. ; breadth, 0.00 mm. 



Adult cJ not known. 



Habitat : on both t<urfaces of leaves of Curculifjo recurvata. 

 Buiteiizorg, Java (Coll. Zimm., No. 33). 



Allied to Asp. thece and A. irilohitiformis, but with no tessellated 

 patch on pygidium. 



Lepidosaphes cokruoata, sjj. nov. 



Female puparium dull black, thick and opaque ; pellicles reddish-fulvous, 

 exposed. Form normal, widening very gradually behind ; outline usually sinuous ; 

 somewhat flattened above, with many curved transverse corrugations. Ventral 

 scale stout ; persistent along the margin ; usually interrupted along the median 

 line. Length, 3 to i.oO mm. ; greatest breadth, 1 mm. 



Male puparium not observed. 



Adult $ of usual form ; broadest across abdominal segments, which are mo- 

 derately produced at the margins. Anterior spiracles with a small group of 

 parastigmatic glands. Median lobes of pygidium conspicuous, bluntly pointed, 

 with irregularly crenulate or dentate edges. First lateral lobes small, duplex, the 

 inner lobule the larger. Other lobes wanting. The usual spiniform equaraes and 

 marginal pores. Dorsal surface of pygidium with a conspicuous double series of 

 oval pores extending on each side from level of anal aperture almost to margin, and 

 two smaller series outside these. Circumgenital glands in five groups : median 

 group with six to seven orifices ; upper laterals, to 10 ; lower lateral, 8 to 9. 



Length, 1 to 1.25 mm.
