28. *Aonidia glandulosa Newst. 



BiBLioaEAPHY : Newstead, Bull. Ent. Res. 1911, p. 103. 



The adult female is completely enclosed in the second larval 

 pellicle which forms the puparium. The puparium is convex, circular, 

 straw-coloured to orange yellow and completely covered with white 

 secretionary matter. The ventral scale is white ; thin centrally and 

 thick marginally. The first pellicle is yellow but almost invariably 

 obscured by the white secretion. 



Diameter of female puparium 1-1-5 millimetres. 



The nymphal or second stage females are much more easily 

 prepared for microscopic examination than the adults and the species 

 can readily be identified from preparations of second stage females. 



HOST PLANTS. 



Leguminosae Acacia arabica (Sunt). 



PART OF PLANT ATTACKED.

The puparium of the adult female ovate or elongate ovate ; where 

 one side rests against a vein of the leaf on the midrib that side is 

 straight. The puparium is convex and semi-transparent, the yellow 

 colour of the sublying female and eggs being apparent. The pellicles 

 are central or very nearly so and are pale yellow or colourless ; the 

 secretionary coverings are transparent. The puparium of the young 

 female is usually more or less circular. 



Length 1-2 millimetres. 



HOST PLANTS. 



Euphorbiacese Phyllanthus sp. 



Leguminosse Ceratonia siliqua. 



Myrtaceae *Psidium guajava (Guava). 



* Since going to press Mr. Green has examined some of my material of this species and 

 hn states that he would refer it to the genus Pseudaonidia.
