Fiorinia frontecontracta, n. sp 

 (PI. XXXI, fig. 22a-d). 



Puparium of female pale castaneous, usually with a darker 

 medio-longitudinal stripe running through both larval and nym- 

 phal pellicles. Little or no secretionary appendix. Elongate; 

 narrow ; with a distinct medio-longitudinal ridge. Length 2 to 

 2*25 mm. Breadth across middle 0-5 mm. 



Nymphal pellicle (fig. 22c) elongate; narrow; anterior ex- 

 tremity with a sharply defined depressed area where it is over- 

 lapped by the larval pelHcle. Margin of abdominal area with two 

 (sometimes three) prominent thorn-Hke spines on each side. Mar- 

 gin of posterior extremity (fig. 22d) with well-developed median 

 and lateral lobes ; the former sunk in a median excision, wide 

 apart and divergent, their free margins minutely serrate; the 

 lateral lobes duplex, the inner lobule larger and more prominent. 

 Length of pellicle 175 mm. 



Male ])uparium white; larval pellicle pale stramineous. The 

 white secretionary appendix wider towards the posterior extrem- 

 ity; flattish, with a single (often obscure) medio-longitudinal 

 carina. Length i to i 25 mm. 



Adult female (fig. 22<^) wdth the anterior extremity contracted 

 and transversely wrinkled. Rudimentary antennae conspicuous; 

 each with a stout curved seta. No inter-antennal tubercle. 

 Mouth-parts large and conspicuous. Form narrow at anterior ex- 

 tremity, gradually widening behind ; broadest immediately above 

 the pygidium ; abdominal segments retracted. Pygidium (fig 22b) 

 with circumgenital glands forming an almost continuous arch; the 

 upper and lower lateral groups confluent, together containing from 

 35 to 40 crowded pores, connected above by a loose series of 

 5 or 6 pores representing the median group. .Median lobes well 

 developed ; recessed ; rather wddely separated ; of irregular form, 

 broadest across the base, the free edge coarsely and irregularly 

 dentate. Lateral lobes minute, inconspicuous. Three conspicuous 

 conical marginal prominences project on each side of the pygidium 

 — one immediately exterior to the median lobes, a se.cond exterior 

 to the lateral lobes, and the third about half way between the last 

 and the base of the p^^gidium. Closely following upon each of the 

 second and third prominences is a shallow recess with its margin 

 conspicuously thickened. Length approximately 075 mm. 



On foliage oiGarcinia indica. Bombay (//. H. Mann, No. 41). 



Fiorinia plana, n. sp. 

 (PI. XXXI, fig. 23a, h). 



Puparium of female pale stramineous, translucent ; elongate- 

 ovate, flattish or slightly convex above; consisting of the larval 

 and nymphal pellicles, with little or no secretionary appendix. 

 Larval pellicle small. Nymphal pellicle enlarged, the pygidial 

 area depressed; posterior margin (fig. 236) wnth prominent median
