44. Aspidiotus cryptomeriae, sp. nov. 



Plate XII, Figs. 66-68. 



Scale of Female. — The scale of the female is usually elliptical, flatly con- 

 vex. Length i.i to 2. mm., width about i. mm.; usual color grayish, sub- 

 transparent. The exuviae are usually a little to one side of the center; straw 

 color. The first skin usually shows the segmentation distinctly, length about 

 .4 mm. ; the second skin is more or less covered with secretion, length about 

 .65 mm. Ventral scale a mere film applied to bark of plant. 



Fetnale. — The body of the mature female is rather flat, pale yellow, and 

 oval in shape. The last segment is a little deeper yellow than the rest of the 

 body, and presents the following characters: — 



There are five groups of spinnerets. The anterior group contains four to 

 five; the anterior lateral, seven to eight; the posterior laterals four to six. 

 There are three pairs of well developed lobes. The first and second lobes 

 of lateral side are abruptly narrowed toward their posterior extremities from 

 about one-half their length; the third pair is much smaller than the first two 

 pairs, and the lateral sides are sloping and very minutely serratulate. The 

 plates are well developed; they are not much longer than the lobes, and are 

 fringed; there are two small ones between the median lobes; those of each 

 side are as follows, — two between the first and second lobes, three between 

 second and third lobes, usually seven laterad of the third lobe. The spines 

 are prominent; the first pair is situated near the lateral margin of the base of 

 the first lobes, the second and third, about the middle of the bases of the 

 second and third lobes; two or more spines laterad of the base of the third 

 lobe. 



Scale of Male. ~T\iQ. scale of the male is elongated, with the larval skin 

 nearly central; color grayish, same as female in texture; larval skin straw 

 color. Length about i. mm., width .6 mm. 



This species was found by the author on Cryftomeria 

 jafonica (Sugi) in Gifu-ken. It is allied to Aspidiotus 

 destructor Sign,, but the female scale of the new species is 

 elliptical in form, and the exuvi^ in one side of the center, 

 and the third pair of lobes of last abdominal segment of 

 female is much smaller.
