NOTES ON CEYLON COCCIDA. 
By A. RuTHERFoRD, M.A., B.Sc. (EDIN.),

ISCHNASPIS LONGIROSTRIS, Sign. 
On Graptophyllum hortensis. 
\CALE lepidosaphes-like, long, narrow, very dark brown 
in colour. Dorsal surface of pygidium of adult with a 
tessellated patch. Two pairs of lobes, median lobes about 
half their width apart, each lobe somewhat triangular and 
minutely serrated along the margin. Second lobe duplex, 
the mesal part much the larger, non-serrated, projecting almost 
as far caudad as do the median lobes, and with a chitinous 
band on each side running well into the pygidium. Third 
lobe and sometimes fourth may be slightly developed. Apex 
of pygidium slightly concave. Two short setz between the 
median lobes, a seta, a plate, and a conspicuous pore-pro- 
jection between the median and second lobes, a seta, a 
plate, and a pore-projection laterad of the second lobes, four 
plates (or five) on the pygidial margin, and six or seven 
plates on the two abdominal segments in front of the 
pygidium. 
Circumgenital pores 2 (5 and 4) (2 and 2). On Landolphia 
kirkii specimens were seen with the circumgenital pores 
irregularly arranged in six groups of from two to five each— 
totalling seventeen. 
On coffee pores were—3 (5 and 6) (2 and 2); 3 (5 and 5) 
(2 and 2). Insects, which were examined as soon as collected, 
contained larve in an advanced stage of development. An 
insect from leaves of coffee contained four large eggs as long 
as the breadth of the body, but lying in a slightly oblique 
position.
