jaune de 1'insecte, forment une teiute orangee assez prononcee ; par 

 ses glandes marginales circulaires beaucoup plus petites que les dorsales 

 (6 [i de diametre), disposers en paires, presque contigues dans chaque 

 paire, les paires etant separees par des intervalles de 2 pi ; les fila- 

 ments marginaux produits par ces glandes, separes, non connes, 

 longs de 200 pi environ, beaucoup plus courts que les filaments 

 dorsaux ; par le dos convert en entier par des paires tres nombreuses 

 de glandes semi-elliptiqiies, chaque paire formant ensemble une 

 ellipse de 12x9 pi et emettant des filaments etroitement soudes 

 qui atteignent jusqu'a 500 pi de longueur." My specimens agree 

 with the above description except that I find the interval separating 

 the paired marginal glands is not invariably 2 pi. In the majority 

 of specimens they are very close together, approximately 2 pi, but 

 in a few it is as much as 6 pi and even 9 pi. In these cases the interval 

 is not uniform round the margin and varies from 2 pi or 4 pi at one 

 place to 6 pi or 9 pi in another. 



Cockerell states in his description of var. sambuci " Mouth parts 

 brownish, diameter about 60 pi ; scattered large figure of eight (double) 

 glands in the skin, diameter of a gland 12 pi ; margin with two rows 

 of simple glands and one row of double, the single glands at intervals 

 of about 9 pi, the double glands about 9 |i diameter and 3 (rarely 6) [i 

 apart." 



This description agrees closely with my preparations in which 

 I find a pair of the dorsal double glands form an ellipse 12x9 [i 

 and a pair of the marginal double glands one of 9x6 pi, the intervals 

 between the latter being usually 2 (rarely 9) pi. There are two rows 

 of single glands, the glands of the row nearest that of the double 

 glands being 8 [i apart and those of the outer row being 17 pi apart. 



The only description of A. pustulans Ckll. that I have is that 

 of Brain (Bull. Ent. Res. 1920, p. Ill) in which he states that there 

 is only a single row of single glands and that the double glands on the 

 body surface are of two sizes. Cockerell, in his description of the 

 var. sambuci the original material incidentally coming from Egypt 

 states that the double glands of the margin are larger and very much 

 closer together than in A. pustulans, and I think therefore there can 

 be no doubt that our specimens are referable to this variety. 



Debski (loc. cit.) records Caryota sp. (PALM^E) as an additional 

 host plant.
