Parlatoria cinnamooni, n. sp. 



Female scale golden-yellow ; a black area just caudaci of the first 

 exuvium ; some with a black area in the middle of the first exuvium ; both 

 exuvise covered with a thin, white wax. 



A male scale associated with the above insects had a black spot on the 

 exuvium. 



Adult female broader than lon^^, pygidium somewhat retracted. Three 

 pairs of lobes placed far apart. Median lobes have a deep notch on each side 

 near the apex, which is narrow ; sometimes there are two notches on the 

 lateral side. Second lobe similar but may have several notches on the 

 lateral margin ; the apex too is more sharply pointed. Third lobe 

 scarcely notched on the mesal side, with several notches on the lateral side 

 and the apex pointed. Pectinse broad, expanded distally ; 2 between 

 median lobe, 2 between median and second lobes and 3 between second 

 and third lobes. Laterad of third lobe in order — a pectina, two-rounded 

 projections, a long hyaline lobe with a seta laterad of it, and a series of 

 lobe-like processes rounded at apex and extending on to the abdominal 

 segment in front of the pygidium. A small triangular gland-pore projec- 

 tion midway between median lobes, between median and second lobes and 

 laterad of the second pectina, between second and third lobes ; several 

 less distinct cephalad of 3rd lobes. Internal part of gland-tube very short. 

 A seta at the base of each lobe on its lateral side, and one on the pygidial 

 margin. Oircumgenital pores anterior (6 and 7), posterior (4 and 3). A few 

 anterior parastigimatic pores. Pygidium of second exuvium very similar 

 to that of adult. There are several pectinse laterad of the thii-d lobes 

 and the abdominal segments are without the rounded projections of the 

 adult. 



On upper surface of leaves of Cinnamon, Peradeniya, Oeylon. 



I have observed the same insect on leaves of Caryota wens at Pera- 

 deniya. It falls near P. aonidiformis, Gr., but differs in the much broader 

 pectinse and in the character of the processes on the margin of the 

 pygidium as well as in the prominent, gland-pore projections. 



Parlatoria zeylanica, sp. nov. 



Female scale light-brown, composed entirely of the exuviee. Second 

 exuvium three times the length of the first, both covered with a whitish 

 secretion. A pitchy black area just caudad of the first exuvium. Three 

 pairs of lobes, median lobes longer than broad, triangular towards apex, 

 irregularly indented. Second lobes often longer than broad or at least 

 as long as broad, the lateral side slightly indented. Third lobe not always 

 distinguishable from the lobe-like plates ; when visible longer than broad 

 with apex rounded. Two plates between the median lobes, two between 

 median and second and two or more between the second and third. The 

 plates extend well beyond the lobes, are often slightly expanded towards 

 the apex, are roundly truncate at apex with a fine median projection, the 

 whole resembling a partly burnt candle. Laterad of third lobes are about 

 four or five short, usually stout, blunt, lobe-like plates. Marginal pores not 

 visible. Oircumgenital pores (6 and 7) (4 and 3). Anus slightly caudad 

 of the caudo-lateral group of oircumgenital pores. Anterior spiracles 

 apparently without parastigmatic pores. 



The pygidium of the second exuvium has three pairs of conspicuous 

 lobes. The median lobes have faint mesal and lateral notches. The second 

 and third lobes have each a laterad notch or the third may be without such 

 a notch. There are two pectinse between the median lobes, two between 

 the median and second, three between the second and third, and a series 

 of seven or eight laterad of the third lobes ; the pectinse are broad and
