lateral filaments so wide they appear coextensive around mar- 
gin of body, which is elevated from its base by cushion of 
waxy filaments, dorsal secretion appearing as four heavy 
double knob-like masses on each side and some finer filaments 
extending laterally behind these. Wide range of host plants, 
but commonly found on citrus, leguminous plants, cotton, 
hibiscus, Clerodendron squamatum ................ filamentosus 
3. Cerarii without auxiliary setae, except in the last two abdominal 
pairs; eighteen pairs of cerarii, each with two spines, filiform at 
apex, those of the anal lobe cerarii longest, with scattered pores 
and two or three auxiliary setae, ventral surface of anal lobe with 
a prominent narrow chitinized streak extending inward obliquely 
from the base of the large seta, the latter about a third to a half 
longer than the anal ring setae. 
In life dull brownish yellow, dorsal secretion of wax light, giv- 
ing body a grayish tinge, a dark median longitudinal streak 
often apparent; color when boiled in KOH carmine; marginal 
filaments short and approximately equal in length, those from 
anal lobe a little longer; oviparous, egg sac formed posteriorly 
and somewhat spherical in shape, eggs yellow. Wide range of 
host plants, but commonly found on mango, crotons, pome- 
granate, Ficus bengalensis (aerial roots), Calathea. ..kraunhiae

4. Anal lobe and penultimate cerarii strongly chitinized, seventeen 
pairs of cerarii, the first three or four pairs with three .or four 
conical spines, the, remainder with two, these increasing in size 
gradually toward posterior end of body, penultimate pair and anal 
lobe pair much larger, the latter being extremely stout, all accom- 
panied with numerous pores which are concentrated into a crowded 
circular area about spines in the case of anal lobe and penultimate 
cerarii. Ventral side of anal lobes with a large triangular chitin- 
ized area, apex directed forward, a narrow thickening along median 
edge. Anal lobe setae shorter and more slender than anal ring setae. 
In life dull yellowish brown, form long oval, dorsal secretion of 
wax light with some short filaments, giving body a farinose 
to grayish tinge; marginal filaments unusually long, lateral 
filaments half body width, those from anal lobes as long as 
body, penultimate pair stouter and only half as long; body 
elevated from its base by cushion of waxy filaments, but 
ovoviviparous, therefore no egg sac formed; color when boiled 
in KOH becoming purple lake. Wide range of host plants 
and particularly in glass-houses on maiden-hair fern, orna- 
mental. species of Asparagus, ete: /:.¢....- 20.0666: longispinus 
Anal lobe cerarii weakly chitinized at most, penultimate pair not 
chitinized, seventeen pairs of cerarii, all with numerous pores, first
