SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ON THE COCCID4 OF CEYLON, iW 
between the median, 2 lateral of the median, 3 lateral of the second, and 
about 7 lateral of the third lobe on each side: these last rather broad, 
sloping and fimbriate on their outer edge, Spines in the usual positions : 
the dorsal spine immediately lateral of the median lobes very long, project- 
ing beyond the squames : the others quite small. Spinneret ducts numerous 
and conspicuous, both filiform and trumpet-shaped : some opening directly 
on to the margin, others by rather inconspicuous oval dorsal pores. Circum- 
genital glands in four groups, Examination of a long series, from different 
plants, shows the upper laterals to average 9 (with a range of 6 to 14) : lower 
laterals 5 (ranging from 3 to 9), The upper laterals have always the larger 
number of orifices, In one abnormal example the glands were broken up 
into ten distinct groups in Such a manner that it was impossible to assign 
them to their normal positions, Occasionally an isolated orifice stands in the 
position of a median group, and in one instance a distinct group of 4 was 
observed in the median place, Anal aperture distant from margin by about 
three times its longer diameter. Total length averaging 0°75 mm, Adult 
male of normal form. Bright yellow, with reddish apodema. Foot with 2 
digitules (1 onclaw and 1 on tarsus), Terminal joint of antenna with 3 
knobbed hairs (1 at apex and 2 at side), Length 0°75 mm. 
Habitat.—On numerous shrubs and plants, including Tea, Pepper, Alocasia: 
Psychotria : Manihot sp, (Ceara Rubber) : Loranthus: Mesa indica, &e, Alto- 
gether a very widespre:d species, almost omnivorous. 
ASPIDIOTUS EXCISUS, Green, 
Occurs also on a species of Jpomea, in the Rambukkana district, 
ASPIDIOTUS AURANTIT, Maskell. 
This species seems to me to be distinctly on the increase. I have lately 
seen orange and lime trees very badly infested by this pest. It also affects 
the stems of cultivated roses, both in Ceylon and India. 
ASPIDIOTUS CAMELLIA, Signoret, 
Found also commonly on Grevillea and “ Sappoo ” (MVichelia champaca). 
ASPIDIOTUS CYDONI&, Comstock, 
Iam now, after examination of type specimens from the Vienna Museum, 
of opinion that the Ceylonese examples previously assigned by me to cydonic, 
are the true latanie of Signoret. Ihave stated my reasons for this opinion 
in a recent number of the “ Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine,’ (No, 116, 
second series, August, 1859). It is possible that the American examples of 
cydonie may also eventually be referred to latanie, 
Genus ODONASPIS, Cockerell. 
ODONASPIS INUSITATUS, Green. 
Taken also on Bamboo in the Udagama district, October, 1898, 
Prof. Cockerell has proposed the name Odonaspis,as a subgenus of 
Aspidiotus, for several species so far confined to various kinds of bamboo, 
usually concealed beneath the leaf-sheaths or actually embedded amongst
