“Kermes andrei n. sp. Female scale pyriform in shape, very con- 
vex, 5mm. high and 5mm. in diameter at the base, varible in some 
individuals which are nearly hemispherical. Surface shiny. Color, 
light brown, with three and sometimes four very dark brown bands, 
these variable in length’and breadth. There are also several suffused 
dark brown, blotchy spots and round dots, more numerous around the 
posterior cleft. Segmentation obscure; a median posterior keel-like 
prominence, which is very much wrinkled above near the region of 
the posterior cleft. When boiled in KOH, the derm is colorless. 
Rostral loop dark yellow, stout, not very long. No antennae or legs 
observed. The larvae which were formed in the body of the female 
are yellow, elongate-oval, 360 mu long, 160 mu broad. Antennae 6-seg- 
mented, 3 and 6 about equal and longest; 1 next, then 2 and 5 which 
are equal. 4 is the shortest. Formula:—(3, 6,) 1, (2, 5,) 4. Antennal 
segments:—(1) 20, (2) 16, (8) 24, (4) 12, (5) 16, (6) 24. Segments 
4,5, and 6 have a few short hairs. Legs short and stout. Femur with 
trochanter, 76 long. Tibia with tarsus, 68 long. Tarsal digitules, long 
fine hairs with knobs; digitules of claw reaching a little beyond the 
claw. Caudal tubercles quite large, each bearing one long stout bristle 
(120 mu long) and three long stout spines (28 mu long). The marginal 
spines point backwards and about the same length and breadth as.
