NOTES ON CEYLON COCCID &. 105 
distinct, though hyaline and duplex, each half being longer 
than broad; the dorsal pores are slightly fewer than are 
represented in Green’s figure, there being six in place of nine 
in the second series, four in the posterior, and two in the 
anterior portion of the arch. There is a prominent pore- 
opening laterad of the median lobes and of the first plate. 
Plates 0, 1, 1, 1, 2. 
The anterior spiracles possess a prominent group of small 
parastigmatic glands (C. subcorticalis, Gr., is said to have no 
such glands). 
Cireumgenital pores 5 (19 and 18) (24 and 27). 
Anus located as in C. subcorticalis, Gr. 
ASPIDIOTUS (CUCULUS, Gr. ?). 
Ibid., p. 341. 
Insect oval, not “‘ long pyriform.” The lobes very distinctly 
notched on each side, not “ obscurely emarginate”’ (in 
his figure, however, Green represents the notches as very 
distinct); apex broadly rounded, the mesal and _ lateral 
notches at the same level. Laterad of the lobes some 
8 or 9 long pectine; these are in a continuous series, as 
in Morganella maskelli, Ckll., not in two groups as in A. 
cuculus. No “ distinct marginal prominence” between the 
groups, nor a“ larger conical point ” beyond the outer group. 
Pectinze (two ?) between the lobes ; all pectin frayed at apex. 
The anal orifice has a comparatively broad chitinous margin, 
as in Green’s figure of A. cuculus. Asmall seta just laterad of 
median lobes, 2 or 3 longer sete in region of the pectine, and 
3 or 4 on the margin of the pygidium cephalad of the pectine. 
A clear dorsal pore in the pygidium cephalad of the base of 
each lobe, as in Green’s figure of A. cuculus. Minute dorsal 
pores especially distinct in a row running cephalad from the 
lateral side of the median lobes. 
On twigs of Mesua ferrea, Peradeniya. 
Though this insect shows several points of difference from 
A. cuculus, Gr., I hesitate to consider it as a separate species, 
the more so as both occur on Mesua ferrea. The one may be 
a younger stage of the other.
