Odonaspis simplex? (Green). 

 On Bambusa. Coimbatore {liamakrishna, No. 134-part). 



Aonidia indica, n. sp. 

 (PI. XXVIII, fig. 12a, b). 



Puparium of female circular, moderately convex, the median 

 area usually depressed or slightly concave ; secretionary margin 

 very narrow, the centre of the scale usually bare. Colour pale 

 castaneous, the secretionary margin grayish brown. Diameter 

 approximately 0'5 mm. 



Male puparium larger ; broadly ovate ; the larval pellicle 

 nearer one extremity. Colour dull grayish brown. Length 075 

 mm. 



Adult female circular, the pygidium slightly prominent. Pos- 

 terior extremity of pygidium (fig. 12a) somewhat truncate ; with 

 eight small rounded or slightly indented lobes, the median pair 

 largest, the others decreasing m size to the outermost. Between 

 the lobes are some delicate fimbriate or truncate squames, and 

 there are three or four similar squames beyond the outermost lobe, 

 on each side. Anal orifice relatively large, near the posterior ex- 

 tremity. Length approximately 0*5 mm. 



Posterior margin of nymph (fig. 12')) with six prominent 

 lanceolate lobes, the median pair slightly indented on each side. 

 There are also six large and conspicuous semilunar marginal pores. 



On undetermined plant. Museum Compound, Calcutta (A''. 

 Annandale). 



Aonidia tentaculata, n. sp. 

 (PI. XXIX, fig. i3a-d). 



Female puparium flatfish, dull castaneous, consisting of the 

 large, naked nymphal pellicle upon which is superimposed the 

 smaller larval pellicle — of a darker shade of brown. The nymphal 

 pellicle is of the peculiar form shown at fig. i^a, the thoracic area 

 widely expanded, subcircular, the narrow parallel-sided abdominal 

 area projecting posteriorly. The substance of the pellicle is dense- 

 ly chitinous, with a markedly granular structure, and with con- 

 centric series of irregularly oval clearer spaces. There is a sharply 

 defined narrow marginal border. The posterior extremity of the 

 pellicle (fig. 136) exhibits six well defined lobes, of which the 

 median pair is very small and slender, the others broader and 

 hastate in form. The intervals between the lobes are occupied by 

 broad ligulate squames, and there are three obscurely dentate 

 squames immediately exterior to the outermost lobe. The margin 

 beyond the lobes is deeply incised at seven or eight points, and 

 there are seven conspicuous lunate pores on each side. Length 

 I mm. Width of thoracic area i nmi., of abdominal area 0'3 mm. 



Adult female (fig. 13c) with thoracic area broadly crescentic ; 

 the projecting pygidium tapering to a sharp point, its distal
