468 Mr. C. Fuller on some sjyccies of 



and J the entire length of scale. Secreted portion of scale pinkish- 

 grey, finely punctate. 



Adult $ brown with u.«nal lobes, spines and plates, the last fairly 

 wide and extending to all but the cephalic segment, those beyond the 

 third lobes are palmate. Four groups of circumgenital pores, upper 

 laterals 10 — 11, lower laterals 10 — 11 ; pores large and multiocular. 

 Antennpe atrophied, each represented by a wide, truncate process 

 with a horny seta arising from one side of its apex. 



(J puparium pinkish-grey, larval skin brown. Length 0"03 inch. 



Adult ^ dark jiurple ; wings large ; eyes black. Legs ample, 

 tarsus and til)ia sub-equal, tarsus spined and wltliout knobbed 

 digitules. Abdomen short, rounded, without setae. Spike about J 

 the length of the body. 



On Dryandra Jloribunda, Swati River (Helms). This is 

 a rather smaller species than either P.viridis or P.myrtus, 

 and the number of pores in the groups is remarkably 

 constant. 



81. Farlatoria perpusilla, Maskell. (Plate XV, fig. 43.) 



The specimens of this insect which I have examined 

 show a convex cap, the rim of which overhangs the per- 

 pendicular walls of the scale, like the eaves of a roof. The 

 scales do not resemble those of Parlatoria, and I notice 

 that Messrs. Cockerell and Parrot have recently referred 

 the insect to Gymnaapis. 



82. rarlatona petrophilse, sp. n. 



9 scale elongate, slightly convex, very wide, slate-grey ; exuviae 

 dark brown, terminal, and comparatively very small. Length 0'08, 

 width 0'05 inch. The second of the exuviae iB circular and less than 

 J the entire length of the scale. 



Adult 9 with antennae represented by 2 small chitinous thicken- 

 ings of the epidermis, each bearing a seta. The lobes are of the usual 

 number and but faintly notched ; the third pair have the apex 

 rounded, the sides almost parallel, and taper but slightly to the 

 base. Plates serrate on the lateral margins. Four groups of pores. 



On Petrophila linearis and Hahea ilicifolia. The faintly 

 notched lobes, the small exuviae and the wideness of the 

 scale seem to characterise it.
