Adult female subcircular (fig. 3, d), posterior extremity slightly produced. 

 Pygidium (fig. 3, e) with its truncate extremity bearing a close fringe of prominent 

 tricuspid processes, of which from four to six are usually more densely chitinous than 

 the remainder and represent the pygidial lobes. Anal orifice central. Genital orifice 

 nearer the base. Circumgenital glands usually separable into five groups, but often 

 forming a more or less continuous arch ; the median group represented by from 1 to 5 

 isolated pores, upper laterals 10 to 15, lower laterals 11 to 17. Length approximately

On Pandanus odoratissimus, Koolpinyah, N.T. (Hill, 13, 14). 



A minute and inconspicuous species, occurring singly amongst a crowd of Hemi- 

 chionaspis pseudaspidistrae, or in small scattered groups along the margins of the 

 leaves. Later material (Hill, 648) was collected on the fruits of the plant where it 

 occurs in somewhat greater abundance.
