These insects apparently seek the protection of the under 
surface of the leaves, though frequently they are very numerous 
on the upper surface. 
Lepidosaphes camelliie differs from eurye in having the 
plates of the third incisurz well developed, never smaller than 
the other plates and usually much longer and larger. 
Scobinaspis dentata n. sp. (Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). 
Scale of Female.—Color dull white, with yellowish-green tinge, 
long, four to eight times as long as broad; second exuvia often occupying 
one-half of entire length of scale. 
Scale of Male.—Similar to that of female, but shorter and broader 
in proportion. 
Adult Female.—Body long, usually four times as long as broad, in 
living specimens portion of body caudad of rostrum almost cylindrical, 
ventral surface slightly flattened, portion of body cephalad of rostrum 
thinner, due to a deep concavity on ventral surface; single row of small 
tooth-like projections on the ventral surface between antenne and 
cephalic margin of head, and a heavily chitinized thorn-like projection 
on each lateral margin between antenna and tentorium, rarely more 
than one; antennze with two large sete and a small one, large sete 
sometimes branched; rostrum and rostralis dark; margin of pygidium 
dark; mesospiracerores 1—2; preabdominal segments and lateral portion 
of metathorax with numerous brevaceratube, lateral margins of pre- 
abdominal segments with bractez, segments five and four usually with 
two each, segment three with 3-4, and segment two with several small 
incompletely developed bractez. 
Pygidium.—Lobes in two pairs, with second pair deeply incised; 
median lobes large, as broad as long, distal half subtriangular distal 
end bluntly rounded, margins slightly crenulate; second pair of lobes 
consisting of two distinct slender lobelets, mesal longer and wider, 
both lobelets together narrower than a median lobe, each lobelet with 
slight notch on lateral margin; plates arranged 2—1-1-1-1, apparently 
never pectinate; genacerores 2—-4(6-8) 4-5; altaceratubze arranged 1—2— 
2-1, very short and broad, almost as broad as long, opening in latadentes, 
those of second incisure largest; brevaceratubze numerous, three large 
ones just cephalad of median and second incisurze approximating size 
of altaceratube, laterals two or three times their own length from 
margin, median nearer margin, small brevaceratubze apparently not 
arranged in distinct rows; anus usually not over eight times its own
