360 THE COCCIDAE 



lobes incised lobelets of second pair larger than those of third, mesal 

 lobelet of both pairs larger than their lateral lobelets; plates slightly 

 longer than lobes, arranged 0, 1, 1, 10-11, those of each lateris ar- 

 ranged l-l-3-5or6; latadentes bearing oraceratubae located in median, 

 second, and third incisurae, one just cephalad of each third lobe and 

 near middle of lateres; spiracerores wanting. Canary Islands on 

 Euphorbia. barrancorum Lindgr. 



SPECIES OF REMOTASPIS 



Scale of adult female white, highly convex, mytilaspif orm ; exuviae 

 orange-red; cuticle of body, including pygidium, soft and thin; pygi- 

 dium with median pair of lobes widely separated, as broad as long, 

 broadly rounded, entire except for a distal notch; second pair of 

 lobes incised, mesal lobelet similar in form but larger than a median 

 lobe, lateral lobelet much smaller than mesal, one or two deep notches, 

 so that lobelet appears to have two or three teeth; third pair of lobes 

 deeply notched, mesal lobelet similar in size and form to a median 

 lobe, lateral lobelet smaller, dentate; triangular latadentis caudad of 

 each second lobe and three toothed ones cephalad of third lobe; alta- 

 ceratubae four on each side; plates limited to one in each second 

 incisura, arranged 0, 1, 0, 0; dorsal aspect with two broad bands of 

 oraceratubae; anus located opposite "distal ends" of dorsal oracera- 

 tubae. Uganda, Africa on unknown shrub dentilobis Newst. 



SPECIES OF ASYMMETRASPIS 



a. Pygidium with second pair of lobes nearly as large as median pair, 

 lateral margin oblique, not incised; median pair of lobes large, 

 broader than long, mesal margins oblique, divergent, distant, distal 

 margins sometimes dentate, subadjacent; dorsal oraceratubae few, 

 in two transverse crescentic rows; plates inconspicuous, arranged 

 0, 0, 2-3, frequently broken; mesospiracerores 4-5; body with ce- 

 phalic half strongly chitinized, caudal half including pygidium not 

 strongly chitinized, line between two areas sharply marked; setae 

 small, arranged two in median incisura, one in each second, and 

 one on cephalic part of each lateris; four submarginal setae cephalad 

 of lobes; anus eleven times its width from caudal margin and 



nearly four times cephalad of vulva. Transvaal, Africa 



distorta Newst. 



aa. Pygidium with second pair of lobes always smaller than median pair. 

 b. Pygidium with median pair of lobes serrate, broader than long, 

 short, very distant; second pair of lobes incised, mesal lobelet 

 larger than lateral, longer than a median lobe, much narrower, 

 bluntly rounded, entire, lateral lobelet subtriangular, generally 

 notched on both margins; plates long, slender, arranged 0, 1, 2, 

 those of each lateris located one near second lobe, other at 

 cephalic end; surface with several large clear vacuole-like oval 

 areas; mesospiracerores 1-3, mesosperitreme depressed; surface of 

 cuticle reticulate; altaceratubae apparently five on each side; 

 brevaceratubae distinct; anus over twelve times its width from 



caudal margin. Uganda, islands of Lake Victoria, Africa 



tenuidisculis Newst.
