Gossypaiin sy)icarpi(P, n.sj). (Fig. 50). 



I collected this species upon the foliage of the Turpentine gum {Syucarpia 

 Jaiirijolia) near Gosford. New South Wales, where it was very plentiful. 

 This species was deteriuined for me by Mr. E. E. Green some years ago. 



The adult. female rests upon a cushion of cottony secretion, in which she is 

 encircled, but the greater part of the dorsal surface is exposed. General 

 colour dull purplish-black, convex, broadly rounded, tapering slightly to the 

 tip of the abdomen, with the segmental divisions well defined. Length 

 about "i-o" of an inch. Antennae wAth. six joints.
