Fiorinia japonica (Kuwana) (tig. 4, C). 



1902. Fiorinia fioriniae var. japonica, Kuwana, Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci. (3), 

 3 : 79 (part). 



From Pinus thunhergii, Taihoku, Formosa. Originally recorded from Finns sp. 

 and Fodocarpus chinensis in Japan, the latter record in error. 



In the original description of this species as a variety of F. fioriniae the type 

 host was not designated. T find the material recorded by Kuwana to include two 

 species and designate as a lectotype a specimen from Finns. The specimens from 

 Podcarpus I consider to belong to F.juniperi, Leonardi.

States ; B, F. juniperi, Leonardi, from Podocarpus chinensis in Japan ; C, F. japonica, 



Kuwana, from Pinus in Japan ; E, F. chinensis, sp. n. ; F, F. chinensis, sp. n., second stage. 



D, pygidium of F. chinensis, sp. n. 



Kuwana separated this form from F. fioriniae on the grounds of the larger 

 number of circumgenital pores, but there appear to be more satisfactory characters in 

 the number and arrangement of the marginal tubular ducts of the pygidium. In 

 F. fioriniae (fig. 4, A) there are not more than four large ducts followed by as many 

 small ducts. Otherwise the two species are very similar. 



Fiorinia juniperi (Leonardi) (fig. 4, B). 



1902. Fiorinia fioriniae var. japonica, Kuwana, Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci. (3), 

 3: 79 (part). 



.Specimens from Podocarpus chinensis in Japan were included by Kuwana under 

 F. fioriniae var. japonica, but I consider them to belong rather to F. juniperi. They 

 agree very closely with specimens oi juniperi (det. Green) from Ceylon. The species, 

 like japonica, is very similar to fioriniae, but differs in having as many as eight large 

 marginal ducts instead of four on the pj^gidium (fig. 4, B).
