"Kermes andrei n. sp. Female scale pyriform in shape, very con- 

 vex, 5 mm. high and 5 mm. in diameter at the base, varible in some 

 individuals which are nearly hemispherical. Surface shiny. Color, 

 light brown, with three and sometimes four very dark brown bands, 

 these variable in length and breadth. There are also several suffused 

 dark brown, blotchy spots and round dots, more numerous around the 

 posterior cleft. Segmentation obscure; a median posterior keel-like 

 prominence, which is very much wrinkled above near the region of 

 the posterior cleft. When boiled in KOH, the derm is colorless. 

 Rostral loop dark yellow, stout, not very long. No antennae or legs 

 observed. The larvae which were formed in the body of the female 

 are yellow, elongate-oval, 3G0 mu long, IGO niu broad. Antennae G-seg- 

 mented, 3 and 6 about equal and longest; 1 next, then 2 and 5 which 

 are equal. 4 is the shortest. Formula: — (3, 6,) 1, (2, 5,) 4. Antennal 

 segments: — (1) 20, (2) 16, (3) 24, (4) 12, (5) 16, (6) 24. Segments 

 4, 5, and 6 have a few short hairs. Legs short and stout. Femur with 

 trochanter, 76 long. Tibia with tarsus, 68 long. Tarsal digitules, long^ 

 fine hairs with knobs; digitules of claw reaching a little beyond the 

 claw. Caudal tubercles quite large, each bearing one long stout bristle 

 (120 mu long) and three long stout spines (28 mu long). The marginal 

 spines point backwards and about the same length and breadth as
