Larva (Fig. 329): resembles the o, with still shorter palps 

 and broader, almost diamond-shaped scutum : the latter measuring 



11-3 X 7-5 X 5-3 mm. when replete. Banks, 1908, p. 33, states that the scutum is 0-9 mm. 



long. 



1 The following measurements, in mm., were made from (N. 2324) nymphs received 



from Mr Bishopp : 



Scutums Body (unfed) 



0-44 X 0-44 1-0 X 0-32 



0-44 X 0-43 



0-44 X 0-42 



0-43 X 0-44 



0-43 X 0-42 

 Hooker, Bishopp and Wood, 1912, p. 89, give the size of the o (including capitulum?) 

 as 1-33 X 0-8 when unfed, 2-5 x 1-75 when replete; scutum 0-42 x 0-43 ; capitulum 022 

 long (between tips of cornua and palp).
