Thickly clustered on the smaller twigs and on both surfaces of 

 the leaves of Capparis stylosa. Ittige, Bellary District {Rama- 

 krishna. No. 64). 



The species differs from camelliae in the nature of the squames, 

 which are not broadly pectinate, as in that species, and in the 

 greater number and size of the oval dorsal pores. The puparia, 

 also, are quite distinctive. 



Aspidiotus tamarindi, n. sp. 

 (PI. XXVIII, fig. iirt, b). 



Female puparium irregularly oval or subcircular, flattish. 

 Colour stramineous, ochreous, or pale castaneous. the darker exam-

 whitish. Length 075 mm. 



Adult female (fig. 11a) evenly turbinate, without any indica- 

 tions of abdominal segmentation. Pygidium somewhat produced : 

 the marghi (fig. 116) with six prominent, somewhat narrow lobes ; 

 all the lobes with a translucent band across the base ; the median 

 lobes are markedly indented on each side ; the lateral lobes inden- 

 ted on the outer side only. Squames very thin and delicate, the 

 distal extremity of each deeply fringed ; those in the interlobular 

 spaces ligulate ; the ultra-lobular squames (of which there are six 

 or seven on each side) broader, and acutely pointed at the inner
