Length 1°50 mm. Breadth 0°62 mm, 
Adult male red; of normal form: genital sheath almost as long’as the body. 
Antenne with a knobbed hair at the apex and another from the side of the 
terminal joint, Foot with 1 ungual and? tarsal digitules, Length about 
0°75 mm, 
Habitat,—On under surface of leaves of Loranthus tomentosus ; sometimes 
also on the young stems; Pundaluoya ; Banderawella. 
In general form this species closely resembles D. rose : but the colour of 
the adult female, (rose being red), and the much more prominent pygidial 
lobes will serve to distinguish it, 
Genus FLORINIA. 
FIORINIA FIORINIZ, Targ. 
In Part I of the ‘ Coccide of Ceylon’ I stated that I had not yet observ- 
ed thisinsect upon the tea-plant. Ihave now to record that it is by no 
means uncommon on tea in several of the up-country districts. Fortunately 
the pest seems to affect the small-leaved (China) jats only - and is subject toa 
fungal disease which keeps it in check. The diseased insects are easily re- 
cognised by a fringe of bright orange-coloured matter projecting from be- 
neath the scale, 
FIORINIA SAPROSM, Green, (PI. G, fig. 27.) 
Subsequent examination, of better preparations, shows that the inter-an- 
tennal tubercle of the adult female is not tricuspid, but bears a number of 
small spine-like points (fig. 27). 
FIORINIA SAPROSMA, var. GELONII, n.var. (PI. G, fig, 28.) 
A form from Gelonium lanceolatum has the median lobes more prominent 
and distinctly serrate (fig. 28). The first lateral lobe is sometimes developed 
in this variety. The position of antenne and inter-antennal tubercle are as in 
the type. This form may be distinguished as var. geloniz. 
FIORINIA PROBOSCIDARIA, n. sp. (PI. G, figs. 29, 30, 31, 32.) 
Female puparium (fig. 29) elongate lanceolate, with a distinct median carina. 
Colour golden brown, shining. First pellicle pale yellow, projecting from 
the anterior extremity, The rest of the pupariam consisting of the enlarged 
second pellicle. Length 2°25mm, Breadth 0° 40 mm. 
Male puparium undetermined, As this species occurred in company with 
F. saprosme, and the males of closely allied species being almost indistin- 
guishable, it was impossible to separate with any certainty the male scales of 
the two insects, 
Adult female (fig. 30) elongate, tapering at both ends. At the anterior 
extremity is a remarkable proboscis-like organ (fig. 31), which has suggested 
the specific name of the insect, It is an extension of the inter-antennal tuber- 
cle found in saprosme and some other forms, The antenne are situated at 
the base of it, Accompanying this excessive growth the anterior part 
of the body has become twisted io one side. Parastigmatic glands represent-
