are ligulate, irregularly serrate distally, the outer edges of each 

 pair markedly longer than the inner edges, so that the distal mar- 

 gins of the two squames slope in opposite directions. The sq names 

 that lie outside the lobes are of irregular form ; those nearest the 

 lobes being comparatively broad, the remainder decreasing in 

 width till, towards the base of the pydidium, they become long 

 and slender. There are three tooth-Hke marginal prominences on 

 each side, situated respectively after the sr^l, 7th and nth squames, 

 the last sometimes obsolescent. On the margins of the abdomi- 

 nal and post-thoracic segments the fimbriate squames are replaced 

 by narrow, tapering, tentacle-like processes, similar to those at 

 the extreme base of the pygidium. Anal orifice approximately 

 central, surrounded by a narrow denser chitinous border. Circum- 

 genital glands in four groups, each containing from 7 to 8 pores. 

 A few small oval (or obscurely crescentic) dorsal pores, in pairs, 

 near the margin of the pygidium. Length 0-5 to 075 mm.

 Peria Ghat, North Malabar {Ramakrishna, No. 128). 



Characterized by the large nymphal pellicle, absence of secre- 

 tionary appendix, and the tentacular marginal processes. 



Parlatoria (Webstcriella) papillosa, n. sp. 



(PI. XXX, fig. lya-g). 



Puparium of female (fig. 176, c) minute ; oval ; consisting of 

 the nymphal pellicle without any secretionary appendix, the disc 

 rising abruptly into a hemispherical boss. Colour bright yellow or 

 ochreous, the median elevation jet black. Length 0-5 mm. 



Male puparium (fig. lya) creamy white or very pale ochreous, 

 the larval pellicle dusky olivaceous ; elongate ovate, broader in 

 front, appendix moderately convex, with a broad medio-longitudi- 

 nal depressed groove. Length 07 mm. 



Adult female (fig. lyd) broadest across the anterior thoracic 

 area, tapering behind. Mouth parts large and conspicuous. Mar- 

 gin of meso-thorax with a series of from 10 to 12 minute rounded 

 papillae (see fig. lye). Margins of metathorax and abdomen with 

 a rather distant series of truncate conical papillae. Pygidium 

 (fig- 17/) with median and lateral lobes represented by densely 

 chitinous deltoid marginal prominences. The space between the 

 median lobes is occupied by a single prominent broadly spathulate 

 process ; two similar but smaller processes occupy the space be- 

 tween the median and first lateral lobes, followed by three similar 

 processes in the next interval. These processes apparently take 

 the place of the deeply fimbriate squames that occur in the' same 

 positions in typical members of the genus. There are five conspicu- 

 ous lunate pores situated immediately above the spaces occupied 

 by the spathulate processes, and usually— but not invariably— a 

 similar pore further up the m.argin on each side. Circumgenital 

 glands in four groups, the upper lateral groups with six pores, the
