large setz on the edge of the concavity. Under the leaf- 
sheaths of Panicum uncinatum at Peradeniya.

Antenna a low tubercle bearing several smaller tubercles, 
and at the base a long stout seta curved towards the middle 
line. On the cephalic margin between the level of the antenne 
and placed close together are two stout sete. Each lobe with 
two lateral notches, the proximal near the base and obscure, 
the distal very distinct. The lobes project into the pygidium 
as far as the anus, and the cephalic end of the projection may 
be knobbed. The pygidium is not markedly chitinized, 
though there may be several strands of chitin laterad of the 
vagina. The first pair of setz laterad of the lobes are short 
and stout, the one more laterad the longer ; the second pair 
may be similar in shape or long and slender and curved at 
the apex. The pectine are much more pectinate than in 
Green’s figure, the fringe being present on both sides of the 
main shaft and projecting at right angles to the shaft. The 
first pair of setz are separated from the lobes by at least two 
-pectine. The larva is broadly oval and possesses a well- 
marked pair of lobes, which are somewhat convergent and 
project slightly into the pygidium. Each possesses three 
notches, one mesad and two laterad of the rounded apex. 
Between the lobes are two short stout setz and two long sete, 
one at the base of each lobe. Laterad of the lobes are several 
short setz and a hyaline projection serrated at the apex. 
An insect on Morus sp. contained in the posterior abdominal 
region a parasite with stout, sharply-hooked mandibles, and 
‘at the caudal end a tube continuous with the alimentary canal 
and apparently reaching to the outside of the scale insect, and 
containing small granular bodies. There were several para- 
sites present, but only one had developed. 
On Cinnamonium zeylanica, Morus sp., and Brousonettia 
papyrtfera, in the last case buried in the bark.
