2. SPECIES. 
(1.) Ceroplastes. 
Wax taking the form ot distinct plates, so that the 
insect is rather like a little tortoise. 
Twe supposed species, ©. janeirensis, Gray, 1828, and 
C. psidii, Chavannes, 1848. Théy are probably 
identical but janeirensis is so imperfectly des- 
cribed that we cannot be certain. The digitules 
of the claw in psidii are very large. 
Wax scarcely or not forming distinct plates. 
Waxy masses reddish-brown, 5 to 6 mm. long, 4 or 
o wide, and about 5 high. 
: O. Cassiae, Chavannes. 
Waxy masses pale pinkish, with two white bands 
down each side; size large, wax extremely thick, 
different individuals with the wax often running 
together. 
C. albolineatus, Ckll. 
Waxy masses greenish-white, irregular, 
small, 4 mm. long, 4 wide, 3 high. 
Two white stripes down each side.

by a shallow groove, covered with a
