Adult female with rudimentary limbs and antennse. Spi- 

 racles communicating with the surface by means of a broad 

 enclosed channel, the sides of whicli are studded with short 

 glandular ducts. Dorsum with numerous, densely chitinous, 

 perforated plates, arranged in more or less symmetrical series. 

 Anal operculum surrounded by a densely chitinous area. 

 Anal ring with ten or more setpe. 



Nymph similar to adult, but with the limbs and antennre 

 still more rudimentary. Anal operculum not surrounded by 

 a densely chitinous area. 



Larva with fully developed limbs and antennas. Dorsum 

 with series of clustered pores in place of the cribritorm plates. 



Male not observed in any stage. 



Type, formicarum. 



Cribrolecanium formicarmn, sp. n. (Figs. 1 & 2.)
