  feet 
  are 
  long 
  ; 
  the 
  coxa 
  thick, 
  femur 
  thick 
  and 
  twice 
  as 
  long, 
  tibia 
  and 
  

   tarsus 
  narrow 
  but 
  equal 
  in 
  length 
  to 
  the 
  femur 
  ; 
  upper 
  digitules 
  short 
  ; 
  I 
  

   have 
  not 
  seen 
  the 
  lower 
  pair. 
  Fig. 
  15rf. 
  

  

  The 
  abdominal 
  lobes, 
  rostrum 
  and 
  mentum 
  as 
  usual. 
  

  

  The 
  body, 
  fig. 
  156, 
  is 
  edged 
  with 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  strong 
  bristly 
  spines, 
  seemingly 
  

   hollow, 
  starting 
  each 
  from 
  a 
  distinct 
  tubercular 
  root, 
  and 
  set 
  close 
  together. 
  

   Each 
  spine 
  is 
  slightly 
  curved, 
  and 
  the 
  whole 
  row 
  gives 
  the 
  insect 
  something 
  

   of 
  the 
  look 
  of 
  Dactylopius 
  citri, 
  Signoret, 
  a 
  similarity 
  which 
  is 
  at 
  once 
  seen 
  

   to 
  be 
  deceptive 
  on 
  comparing 
  the 
  species. 
  

  

  The 
  test 
  is 
  thin 
  and 
  waxy, 
  and 
  does 
  not 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  subdivided 
  into 
  

   segments 
  as 
  in 
  C. 
  perforatus 
  ; 
  but 
  my 
  specimens 
  are 
  so 
  much 
  covered 
  with 
  

   fungoid 
  growth 
  that 
  I 
  cannot 
  make 
  this 
  out 
  with 
  certainty. 
  The 
  fringe 
  is 
  

   composed 
  of 
  feather-like 
  segments, 
  much 
  narrower 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  other 
  species. 
  

   Each 
  feather 
  corresponds 
  to, 
  and 
  covers, 
  a 
  spine 
  of 
  the 
  body. 
  See 
  figs, 
  lob 
  

   and 
  15c. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  not 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  the 
  male. 
  

  

  I 
  COME 
  now 
  to 
  another 
  genus, 
  which 
  I 
  believe 
  to 
  be 
  also 
  new. 
  It 
  was 
  

   brought 
  to 
  me 
  first 
  by 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  Inglis, 
  from 
  whom 
  I 
  have 
  named 
  it; 
  but 
  I 
  

   have 
  since 
  found 
  it 
  on 
  Coprosma 
  in 
  Eiccarton 
  Bush. 
  

  

  I 
  include 
  this 
  genus 
  in 
  the 
  Lecanio-diaspid^, 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  test 
  and 
  

   the 
  presence 
  of 
  the 
  abdominal 
  lobes, 
  but 
  it 
  differs 
  from 
  Ctenochiton 
  in 
  the 
  

   shape 
  of 
  the 
  test 
  and 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  segmental 
  fringe. 
  

  

  Inglisia, 
  gen. 
  nov. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  as 
  yet 
  only 
  one 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  genus, 
  which 
  presents 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  

   remarkable 
  characters. 
  Exteriorly 
  it 
  resembles 
  very 
  much 
  in 
  shape 
  a 
  

   limpet, 
  from 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  given 
  it 
  the 
  specific 
  name 
  of 
  

  

  10. 
  Inglisia 
  patella, 
  sp. 
  nov. 
  

  

  Plate 
  VII., 
  fig. 
  16. 
  

  

  The 
  test 
  is 
  whitish, 
  glassy, 
  limpet-shaped, 
  marked 
  with 
  radiating 
  stri® 
  ; 
  

   the 
  stride, 
  on 
  examination, 
  prove 
  to 
  be 
  composed 
  of 
  rows 
  of 
  oval 
  perfora- 
  

   tions 
  containing 
  air. 
  They 
  give 
  to 
  the 
  test, 
  which 
  is 
  composed 
  of 
  several 
  

   corrugations, 
  a 
  very 
  elegant 
  appearance 
  — 
  fig. 
  16a. 
  The 
  insect, 
  test 
  and 
  all, 
  

   reaches 
  ^^^ 
  to 
  ^ 
  inch 
  in 
  diameter. 
  The 
  height 
  is 
  about 
  one-third 
  of 
  the 
  

   length. 
  

  

  The 
  female 
  insect, 
  fig. 
  16/, 
  corresponds 
  in 
  shape 
  to 
  the 
  test, 
  filling 
  it 
  

   entu'ely. 
  In 
  this 
  state 
  the 
  antenna) 
  and 
  feet 
  are 
  scarcely 
  to 
  be 
  made 
  out, 
  

   but 
  on 
  maceration 
  in 
  potash 
  and 
  subsequent 
  pressure 
  the 
  underside 
  presents 
  

   the 
  appearance 
  shown 
  in 
  fig. 
  16b. 
  The 
  wavy 
  edge 
  spoken 
  of 
  above 
  is 
  here 
  

   visible, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  seen 
  that 
  the 
  curves 
  of 
  the 
  body 
  correspond 
  with 
  the 
  cor- 
  

   rugations 
  of 
  the 
  test. 
  The 
  antennae 
  are 
  very 
  short, 
  and, 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  have 
  

   observed, 
  have 
  only 
  six 
  joints, 
  but 
  I 
  may 
  be 
  in 
  error 
  in 
  this, 
  as 
  the 
  Lecanidm
