second pair of lobes bluntly rounded, crenulate; third and fourth pairs 

 of lobes bluntly pointed, crenulate; plates arranged 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, those

 end bluntly rounded, sides parallel; second, third, and fourth pairs 

 of lobes similar in form and subequal in size to median pair, entire;

 eral notches, about as broad as long; second pair of lobes large, much 

 longer and broader than median pair, elongate, longer than broad, 

 rounded, entire; third pair of lobes smaller than median, triangular, 

 bluntly rounded, faint lateral notch; pectinae distinctly lacinate, ar- 

 ranged 2, 2, 2, 2, those of median and second incisurae longer than 

 median lobes, distinctly shorter than second pair of lobes, those of 

 third incisurae as long as second pair, those of each lateris as long

SPECIES OF CRYPTOPHYLLASPIS 

 a. Pygidium with four or five unapectinae on each lateris. 



b. Pygidium with margin of each second and third incisura pro- 

 duced into short prominent point; median pair of lobes larger 

 than others, constricted toward proximal end, mesal and lateral 

 notches; second and third pairs of lobes elongate, bluntly pointed, 

 third pair usually with a lateral notch; pectinae deeply lacinate, 

 arranged 2, 2, 3, 4-5; oraceratubae numerous, tendency to ar- 

 range themselves in transverse rows; insects forming and occupy- 

 ing small pits on underside of leaves. Ceylon on Strobilanthes 



putearia Green. 



bb. Pygidium with margin of each second and third incisura concave, 

 not produced. 



c. Pygidium with proximal portion not constricted, lateral mar- 

 gins uniformly gradually converging toward caudal end; me- 

 dian pair of lobes much larger than others, long and promi- 

 nent, mesal and lateral notches; second and third pair of lobes 

 bluntly pointed, elongate, lateral notches; pectinae deeply lac- 

 inate, arranged 2, 2, 3, 4-5; oraceratubae few in number, not 

 arranged in transverse rows; insects forming galls upon upper
