niKk'Us ; on tlio m:uL;in and anterior cml the colour is li;;litt'r. 

 A number of line lines radiate tVoui the nuclei. Dorsal 

 nucleus much depressed, but the wax ^^rows over it from 

 behind, thus forming a hood. The anterior end of the scale 

 is acuminate, the posterior end truncate ; both ends arc slijLjhtly 

 notched. The inside of the wax is salmon-pink in colour. 

 In the older specimens the radiating lines and concentric 

 rings become obsolete and the wax bleaches to a creamy 

 white. Removed from the bark it leaves a scale of white wax 

 behind. Length 8-25 millim., width T'jO millim., height 

 5"7") millim. 



Denuded of wax the derm is shiny, salmon-colour, not 

 very hard, with two prominent humps on each side, one 

 hump on the dorsum, and a small one on the anterior end. 

 Caudal horn small, broad and flat, black. Dorsum longitu- 

 dinally striate, with a row of deep gland-pits on each side. 

 The abdominal margin is slightly granulated. Boiled in a 

 solution of KOH it colours the liquid a light pink. In the 

 old specimens the derm is of a chocolate- brown colour and 

 the humps arc nearly obsolete. Length 4*50 millim. ; width 

 2'50 millim. ; height 1*75 millim. 



Antennaj of six joints, all bearing hairs. Length -200 to 

 •220 millim. Length of joints : (1) 35-40, (2) 26-3 L, (3) 66- 

 70, (4) 18, (5)22-26, (6)31-35. Approximate formula: 

 3 1 6 2 5 4 or 3 (1 6) (2 5) 4. Legs ordinary. Length of 

 joints of first jiair of legs : coxa 70, trochanter and femur 120, 

 tibia 75, tarsus 48, claw 18, longest digitule of claw 2iS. 

 The tarsal digitules are very long and slender, with ex- 

 panded ends ; one of the digitules of claw is large, wide, with 

 rounded expanded tip ; the other is about half as large, 

 liostrum large, situated between the first pair of legs. 

 Rostral loop long, in some specimens extending to the thud 

 pair of legs. Each stiginatal area is characterized by about 

 twenty short bullet-shaped spines and by sixteen to twenty 

 large round spinnerets. The lateral margin of the body 

 bears a i<i\w short hairs. kSonic small glands are scattered 

 over the dorsal and ventral derm. 



Ilah. Ypiranga. On the branches of various shrubs of the 

 order ]\Iyrtaceiu. The specimens are frequently covered by 

 a black tungus.
