Genus Inglisia, mihi. 



(Trans., vol. xi., p. 213.) 



1. Inglisia leptospermi, mihi. 



(Trans., vol. xiv., p. 220.) 



The test of the male is white, elongated, convex, not unlike that of the 

 female, but with a longer fringe ; it has also its posterior segment divided 

 from the rest by a transverse slit or hinge ; average length about ^ 

 inch. 



The male is yellowish green in colour, the body slender and tapering. 

 From the abdomen spring two very long white cottony setae, one on each 

 side of the spike, which is straight and short. Antennae of ten joints ; the 

 first two short, the rest long, thin, and hairy. Of these the seventh, eighth, 

 and ninth are the shortest ; on the last joint three long knobbed hairs. 

 Feet slender, hairy; digitules normal. Thoracic band inconspicuous. 

 Four pairs of eyes. 



I only once found specimens, from which I hatched four males, on 

 Leptos-permum, the favourite tree of this species. 



2. Inglisia ornata, sp. nov. 

 Figs. 15-23. 



Test of adult female reddish brown, the base more or less oval, the rest 

 elevated in a cone and ending in a prominence standing up like a more or 

 less sharp horn ; sometimes there are two of these horns. The test is 

 formed of a number of polygonal segments, each slightly elevated, and all 

 are marked with the radiating striae peculiar to the genus. There is a 

 fringe of sharply triangular segments, also striated. Average length of test 

 about i inch, but specimens attain a length of J inch ; height about -^ 

 inch. 



Test of second stage generally resembling that of the adult, but smaller 

 and less conical, and more tinged with green ; and at the edge a number of 

 short spinneret tubes may be seen protruding. 



Test of the male elongated oval, convex, but wanting the prominent 

 horn of the female, glassy, white tinged with yellowish brown, composed of 

 segments marked with conspicuous striae. Length, ^ iuch. Fringe often 

 present, but irregular ; often absent. 



The adult female fills the test, shrivelling after gestation. It exhibits 

 the horn, or two horns, as in the test. Antennae of seven joints (fig. 17) : 

 the third joint showing the false division noted in other species of Lecanio- 

 diaspidae. Feet normal : upper digitules strong and thick, lower pair 

 rather broad. Along the edge of the body is a row of sharp lanceolate 

 spines (fig. 19), set closely together : and the spiracular spines are long
