428 THE COCCIDAE 



cc. Pygidium with cephalic portion abruptly constricted so that 

 subparallel lateral margins of portion caudad of constriction 

 meet cephalic portion at an angle; pectinae and lobes like 

 those of occultus; oraceratubae few in number; pectinae long 

 and deeply lacinate; insects forming cylindrical galls twice 

 as long as wide, constricted at base, ends often studded with 

 irregular tubercles, upon lower surface of leaf. Aspidiotus 

 (Cryptophyllaspis) occultus elongatus Green. Ceylon on 



Grewea. elongata Green. 



aa. Pygidium with three pectinae on each lateris. 



b. Pygidium with three deeply lacinate furcapectinae on each lat- 

 eris; median pair of lobes with slight mesal and lateral notches; 

 three pairs of lobes not darkened; pectinae narrow and strongly 

 fringed, each lateris with three double pectinae each having ap- 

 pearance of two squames (plates?) joined at proximal end; in- 

 cisurae with densariae; dorsal oraceratubae not numerous, ar- 

 ranged in two rows on each side; setae small. Bismarck Archi- 

 pelago on Codiaeum. rubsaameni Ckll. 



Jbb. Pygidium with three deeply lacinate unapectinae on each lateris; 

 median pair of lobes elongate, deep mesal and lateral notches, 

 distal margin bluntly pointed; second pair of lobes much smaller, 

 unsymmetrical, oblique, margin with deep lateral notch or cren- 

 ulate; third pair of lobes irregular, pointed, notched; pectinae 

 deeply lacinate, much longer than median pair of lobes, arranged 

 2, 2, 3, 3-5; dorsal oraceratubae distinct; insects forming small 



conical galls on leaves. Canary Islands, Maderia on Globularia.
