THE COCCIDAE 



d. Pygidium never with long fusiform mesal paraphyses ex- 

 tending to and sometimes cephalad of anus, 

 e. Pygidium with second pair of paraphyses longest, twice 

 as long as third, shortest, first and fourth pairs interme- 

 diate and subequal; median pair of lobes broadly rounded, 

 broader than long, entire; second and third pairs of lobes 

 broader than median, short, emarginate or irregularly 

 notched; plates short, not longer than lobes, arranged 2, 



2, 2, 2; lateres crenulate. England on pine-apple 



bromeliae Leon. 



ee. Pygidium with first and second pairs of paraphyses sub- 

 equal and twice as long as subequal third and fourth 

 pairs; paraphyses large, conspicuous, knobbed at cephalic 

 end; median pair of lobes triangular, adjacent, bluntly 

 pointed, lateral margin longest, deeply notched; second 

 pair of lobes triangular, minute, entire; third pair of lobes 

 similar, smaller; pectinae subequal in length to median 

 pair of lobes, arranged 2, 2, 3, 2-3; setae long, as long as 

 pectinae; anus small, over five times its width from caudal 

 margin; mesal calles fused, lateral calles short and dis- 

 tant from mesal. Northern Australia on Ficus 



subcuticularis Green. 



dd. Pygidium always with long fusiform mesal paraphysis ex- 

 tending to or beyond anus, other paraphyses situated, two 

 on median lobes, mesal two-thirds length of lateral, one more 

 or less club-shaped, much longer and stouter than first two, 

 situated just laterad of median lobe, and similar one at mesal 

 side of proximal end of second pair of lobes; median pair of 

 lobes quite broad, united except distal third, distinct lateral 

 notch; second pair of lobes scarcely broader, oblique, mi- 

 nutely serrate, bearing about five teeth, separated from me- 

 dian lobe by space equal to width of both median lobes; third 

 pair of lobes about two-thirds width of second, similar in 

 shape, serrate with about three teeth; furcapedtinae ar- 

 ranged 1, ?5, 3, ?, and several plates of varying length on 

 lateres; thorax separated from abdomen by lateral inden- 

 ture. India. minuta Kotinsky. 



cc. Pygidium with less than four pairs of paraphyses. 

 d. Pygidium with three pairs of paraphyses. 



e. Pygidium with pectinae on each lateris, pectinae subequal 

 in length with lobes, arranged 2, 2, 3, 3, those of each 

 lateris unapectinae, longer than lobes; median pair of 

 lobes elongate, constricted on proximal portion, distal por- 

 tion bluntly rounded, florate, faint mesal and lateral 

 notches; second and third pairs of lobes similar, third 

 pair slightly smaller; all three pairs of paraphyses sub- 

 equal, on mesal side of proximal end of each lobe. Ceylon 

 on Phyllanthus. laprobana Green. 



ee. Pygidium without pectinae or plates on each lateris.
