98 Mr. R. Newstead on New Coccidz 
free abdominal segments broadly set with numerous large pores or 
glands. Pygidium (fig. 11) somewhat angular ; ventral compound 
spinnerets usually in five groups; anterior group with 1-3, or 
entirely absent, anterior laterals 13-20, posterior laterals 14-19 ; 
margin crenulated ; there are three pairs of well-developed lobes, 
of which the median pair are much the largest : all deeply emar- 
ginate at the outer extremity ; fourth pair of lobes almost obsolete. 
There are two serrate plates between each pair of lobes, beyond 
them several others, broader and more palmate, with the serrations 
rather shallow and the tips OJlunt and rounded. Within the 
margin on each side are 9-10 large crescent-shaped pores or open- 
ings. Long. -25-75 mm. 
Scale of the ¢ straight, without carine; pale ochreous or 
dusky ochreous when upon the undersides of the leaves, white 
when upon the upper surfaces or in exposed situations; larval pellicle 
terminal; bright ochreous or dull orange, centre dark obscure 
green. 
¢. Antenne of 10 joints, thickly set with short hairs ; apical 
joint (fig. 12) very short, suddenly narrowed about the middle 
and pointed ; it is furnished with two long, stout, knobbed hairs : 
the first projecting at right angles from the centre of the lower 
half, the other at the extreme tip. The articulation of the tibio- 
tarsal joint wide; lower pair of tarsal digitules long and slender, 
and extending to tip of claw ; upper pair wanting. I can give no 
further information as the specimens are too imperfect.

It is necessary here to call attention to some important 
characters which apparently have been hitherto over- 
looked. The adult 2 has a large marginal tubercle (fig. 
13) projecting from each side of the thoracic segment, 
and bearing on the dorsal (?) surface a minute spine. “Below 
the tubercle on\ the extreme margin a similar isolated 
spine. P. pergandii, Comst., also possesses a similar 
character, but in this latter there is the merest extension 
of the body surmounted by a small angular spine.
