larvse (PI. XXIX, fig. 2). This singular habit has 

 been previously noted in G-ymnaspis, and it also occurs 

 in Aonidia ; but in both these genera the male puparia 

 resemble those of Aspidlotus. In Fiorinia the male 

 puparia resemble those of Chionaspis, etc., in having 

 the larval exuviae at the anterior extremity, and in 

 being elongate, and composed of a closely felted white 

 material, which may be either " with or without 

 carinae " (Green, Coccidae of Ceylon,' p. 72).
