adhering to objects touching it, not parallel-sided nor ridged. Margin 

 with long simple bristles ; stigmatal spines ordinary, short ; antennae 

 7-jointed ; legs ordinary, claw digitules 30 /x or more long, with large 

 knobs ; tarsal digitules rather stout, fully 54 ^ long. Measurements 

 of legs and antennae in /x : — Anterior leg; femur + trochanter 150, 

 tibia 108, tarsus 70. Antennal segments: (1) 30, (2) 33, (3) 48, 

 (4) 30, (5) 30, (G) 24, (7) 48. Immature specimens, up to maturity, 

 have a dorsal row of five to nine erect white waxy keel-like projections; 

 in some immature examples these projections seem to have a circular 

 base. 



Hah. Public garden at Funchal, Madeira, on the under side 

 of leaves of Jossinia tinifolia, together with Aspidiotus rapax. 

 Dr. M. Grabham, who collected the specimens, informs me that 

 they are attended by the ant Iridomyrmex humilis. 



P. grahhami differs from Pidvinaria tuhercidata (Bouche) by 

 its smaller size, and the fewer dorsal processes ; the antennas also 

 dififer from Bouche's account, which, however, is almost certainly 

 incorrect as to the number of joints. The antennae of P. grah- 

 hami resemble those of P. popidi (which is a much larger insect) 

 except in the last joint. 



Dr. Grabham also brought me some leaves of Apollonias 

 canariense from the Funchal public garden. These show many 

 large blister-like protuberances on the upper surface, corre- 

 sponding to deep cavities beneath. These galls, which are 

 evidently the product of a mite {Eriophycs), contain two species 

 of Coccids, Aspidiotus rapax and Fiorinia fiorinioi.
