458 Mr. C. Fuller on some S2Kcics of 



small lobes. Anal ring inconspicuous, with 6 hairs. Antennae 

 rather long, cylindrical, tapering slightly ; joint 3 times the length 

 of 2 ; sequence 3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7. Tibia longer than tarsus. Epider- 

 mis with protruding, multiocular spinnerets. 



On Halca media and other species, Pinjarrali (A. M. Lea). 

 The position of the ^ after egg-laying is a tergo^ but still 

 within the sac. In my preliminary list this species is 

 mentioned as a Lecanioeliaspis (?) ; I am indebted for its 

 present reference to lAehstensia to Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell. 



Genus Pulvinaria, Targioni-Tozzetti. 



51. Pidvmaria maskelli, Olliff, var. viminciriiB, var. nov. 



Adult 9 almost black, very convex, length 0'35 inch. Egg-sac long 

 and narrow, length including the $ in sihi 0'5 to 0*6 inch. In its 

 anatomical details the 9 resembles P. nidysiae, Maskell. 



On Viminaria denudata, Pinjarrah (A. M. Lea), and 

 Hakea ilicifolia, Bunbury (C F.). 



52. Fulvinaria nutysiie, Maskell. 



On Nutysia fioribunda. I cannot help regarding this 

 species as a variety of P. masJcclli. The ,^s were found by 

 me in one case in great numbers upon a tree without the 

 ^s, and were at first mistaken for a Ctenochitoii, and 

 mentioned in the list referred to, as C. (?) nutysim. 



Genus Lecanium, lUiger. 



53. Lecanium haccatum, Maskelh 



This species occurs in various parts of Western Austra- 

 lia, and in fact most of the Australian Colonies. It has 

 recentl}^ been separated from Lcceinium by Parrott and 

 Cockerell, and referred to as Gryptcs baccatus. 



54. Lccaniuiu haccatum, Maskell, var. niarmoreum, var. nov. 



9 naked, quite white and polished, globular, slightly prolonged in 

 front, with a faint, longitudinal, median elevation, which has a row 

 of shallow depressions on either side. Antenna3 cylindrical, 8- 

 jointed : joints 1 and 2 the longest ; spical joint haired : sequence 

 (13) (24) (5, 6, 7, 8). Mentum short, condate, monomerous ; with 

 several spines. Legs ample ; femur swollen ; tibia and tarsus 

 slender, tibia the longer ; tarsus clawed and with 4 long knobbed 

 digitules. Lobes adjacent, taken altogether elliptical ; surrounding 

 region chitinuus. Anal ring haired, inconspicuous. Epidermis
