Parlatoria pergandii, Comst. 
Hab. Bone, 8, i., 796, on Tangerine orange. 
Planchonia algeriensis, sp.u. (Plate 1V., figs. 14-17.) 
Test of the @ short ovate, hemispherical ; opaque: lemon- 
yellow. Dorsum almost covered with very short woolly filaments, 
which gradually lengthen as they near the margin. Marginal fringe 
long, irregular and without design. Anal orifice almost erect and 
transversely elongate. When the dorsal filaments are worn away, 
as is often the case, the test presents a wax-like appearance. The 
test rests in a shallow depression, and is surrounded by an 
abnormal swelling of the plant-tissues, as in P. quercicola, Bouché, 
and P. hedere, Licht. Long. 2°50-3°50, lat. 1°75-2'50 mm. 
Q Adult. Shape uncertain. Mentum monomerous, very 
short ; unexpanded filaments scarcely longer than mentum. Der- 
mis (fig. 14) above, with numerous scattered figure-of-eight 
spinnerets (a) and very long, slender, tubular spinnerets (0) ; 
ventral surface with small simple spinnerets (c), which occur chiefly 
near the margin ; at the margin is a double row of figure-of-eight 
spinnerets. 
@ Second stage. Antenne (fig. 15) of 6 joints; 1 widest, 2° 
longest and tapering; 3, 4,5, and 6 gradually widening towards apex; 
2 and 4 with a single hair ; 6 with one long and two shorter hairs. 
Legs (fig. 16) longer than antenna; tarsi twice the length of the 
tibie, with 3-4 rather long hairs arising froma central constriction; 
claw twice the length of the digitules. I could trace only a 
single tarsal digitule, but it is quite possible the others may have 
been broken away. Dermis with a single marginal and two dorsal 
rows of figure-of-eight spinnerets of the same character as those in 
the adult. 
Larva. Antenne (fig. 17) of 6 joints; 1 widest, 2 narrow at 
base, 3, 4, 5, and 6 equal. 
Hab. ‘Constantine, 24, x.,’?95, hedge above the rail- 
way, skirting the forét at the commencement of the road 
up the Mansourah ; on Spartiwm juncewm, L.” 
In many respects this species resembles P. hederx, 
Licht., but differs in having the test more ovate and not 
attenuated behind, and in the character of the antenn 
of the $ 2nd stage. ‘The opacity of the test is also 
another mark of distinction.
