■ antenna! ; but an individual of the second stage showed 

 tlic le"s normal, digitules of claw and tarsal knobbed 

 hairs })re.sent ; antennaj also present, but short, consider- 

 ably shorter than tibia + tarsus, with some hairs near 

 its tip. Two short caudal set.T. 



One specimen was infested by an hymenopterous 

 parasite. 



This is the first genuine Inglisia found in the neotropical 

 region, and it may have been introduced from Austra- 

 lia or new Zealand. Mr. JNIaskell has kindly sent me 

 his I.fagi, ornata, leptospermi, patella, and/oramini/fr 

 and on comparison I find it is none of these. The 

 remaining species, /. inconspicva, resembles it quite 

 closely ; but judging from Maskell's figures and 

 description, it cannot be this, — more especially by the 

 character of the glassy plates. 

 6. Pulvinaria ( Frotopnlvinaria) ^;yr7/or?»i.5, n. sp. On 

 guava, at St. Anns (Urich). 



Female scale flat, pyriform, about 2^ mm. long and 2 

 broad ; reddish-brown rather shiny radiately finely 

 ridged : anal plates almost exactly in the middle of 

 the scale, but rather anterior than posterior. Cottony 

 matter (ovisac) projecting slightly round hind margin 

 of scale ; the cottony matter consists of curled waxy 

 filaments. 



Margin of scale with hairs with enlarged ends, mostly 

 branching at tips. Anal plates extremely long and 

 narrow, the posterior outer side much shortened, and 

 the anterior outer side greatly produced. Anal ring 

 with apparently about eight hairs. Femur about 

 •a quarter longer than tibia, tibia about a quarter longer 

 than tarsus. Tarsal knobbed hairs ordinary, but digi- 

 tules of claw large, stout, v.'ith large knobs and some- 

 what bulbous bases ; they extend considei'ably beyond 

 the claw. 



Antennae 7 jointed, 7, 2 and 3 about equal, or 7 a little 

 longer. 5 and 6 equal and shortest. 4 distinctly long- 

 est. Last joint emitting some long hairs ; a very long 

 hair from 4th joint. 



Young oval, pale j^ellow, with a wide caudal incision 

 and moderately long settv, spring from distinct tubercles 

 digitules of claw and tarsal knobbed hairs present. Last 

 joint of antenna emitting two exceptionally long hairs 

 Eggs oval, Jemon yellow. 



Found on the under side of the leaf, close to the midrib, 

 female scales only seen. Male unknown.
