and by the presence of two groups of pores on these plates, 
only a single group being present on the perforate plates ot 
decorella. In typical decorella the lac is dull and opaque, while 
in aurantiaca it is shining and more or less translucent. 
The inseet is kept in check by the attacks of a carpivorous 
caterpillar (probably Hublemma amabilis, Moore). 
7. Monophlebus sp. 
A single specimen of a winged male (coll. Jacobson, No. 1206). 
The terminal segments of the body are missing, making it 
impossible to determine the species. Mr. Jacobson’s collection 
does not contain examples of any female Monophlebus with 
which this male could be associated. 
8. Leerya Jacobsoni nov. 
(Coll. Jacobson, Nos. 1155 to 1160, 1214, 1253 to 1236 
1301, 1545 to 1548. 
Adult female (fig. 14) flattish ; oval; reddish orange, the 
colour more or less obscured by a white mealy secretion which 
is condensed on the median dorsal and lateral areas, leaving 
two broad conspicuous nude stripes where the colour of the 
body of the insect is exposed. Margin with a radiating series 
of 20 long curling white waxy processes, which are stoutest 
towards the anterior and more slender towards the posterior 
extremity. Limbs reddish. No ovisac. 
Antenna (fig. 15) 10-jointed, the 4 basal joints cylindrical, 
the following 5 joints subglobular, the terminal joint elongate 
oval (as long as the preceeding two joints together). 
Legs well developed, moderately stout: the tibia slightly 
shorter than the femur and trochanter together: tarsus less 
than half length of tibia: claw sharply pointed and falcate : 
digitules hair-like. 
Derm with numerous hairs and prominent globular ceriferous 
glands which vary in size and form on different parts of the 
body, those on the median dorsal area being smaller and 
simpler (fie. 16). The hairs on this part have a broadly
