Mr. A. Hempel on Brazilian Coccide. 105 
Around the lateral margin of the body there are two rows of 
spines: one consists of large stout blunt spines, about 
‘044 millim. long, placed regularly at intervals exceeding the 
length of the spines; the other consists of smaller, thinner, 
spine-like hairs, placed irregularly. Hach stigmatal area is 
characterized by three or four longer spines with curved ends 
and twenty to thirty small round spinnerets. On the dorsal 
surface near the posterior margin there are five small pyriform 
glands, two on one side and three on the other; near the 
anterior margin there are also five of these glands. The 
dorsal derm also bears numerous fine filamentous glands. 
The abdomen bears many round spinnerets grouped about the 
genital opening and a double median row of long hairs. 
Hab. Ypiranga. On the upperside of leaves of a tree of 
the order Ilicineze. 
Lichtensia? attenuata, Hempel. 
Adult female scale waxy, white, elliptical, smooth; dorsum 
slightly convex, ends rounded, the caudal end with a short 
incision. ‘The scale is apparently composed of four plates— 
one dorsal, one lateral on each side, and one terminal anterior. 
The dorsal and lateral plates are narrow and elongate; the 
anterior plate is small and more or less triangular in shape. 
The wax is thin, hard, and tough. The insect is crowded in 
the anterior end of the scale, the remaining space being occu- 
pied by the eggs. Length 6 millim.; width 3 millim. ; 
height 1°50 millim. Adult female, boiled in a solution of 
KOH the derm becomes soft and transparent, except a narrow 
marginal strip, which is chitinized. The body is oval; poste- 
rior end attenuate, the anal cleft is very wide, the body thus 
ending in two conspicuous points. Length 4 millim.; width 
2°25 millim. 
Antenne variable, of eight joints, all but joint 3 bearing 
hairs. Length -385-"423 millim. Length of joints: (1) 40- 
44, (2) 53-57, (38) 84-89, (4) 62-75, (5) 53, (6) 31-35, 
(7) 22-26, (8) 40-44. Approximate formula : 34 (25) (18) 67. 
Legs ordinary ; trochanter and coxa each with a long hair. 
Length of joints of first pair of legs: coxa 89, trochanter and 
femur 182, tibia 11@, tarsus 102, claw 22, digitules of claw 35. 
Tarsal digitules very long, with slightly expanded ends ; 
digitules of claw unequal in size, ends round and expanded. 
Rostrum situated between the first pair of legs; rostral loop 
extending to the second pair of legs. Anal plates small, the 
antero-lateral side shorter than the postero-lateral. Anal ring 
with ten hairs. ‘The lateral margin of the body bears a row
