(PLATE CXIV.) 
Anomatlococcus cremastogastri, Green, Ent. Mo. Mag., Vol. XXXVIII. p. 261 
(1902). 
Adult female (jzgs. 1-3) naked, or thinly dusted with waxy powder. Form 
oval, broadest behind ; with deep stigmatic and anal clefts, the latter not 
reaching the anal aperture (fg. 11). Strongly convex above ; at first more or 
less evenly rounded (zg. 2) ; older individuals with prominent median longi- 
tudinal and two transverse ridges (zg. 3). A stout opaque white waxy process 
projects from each of the stigmatic areas, and a similar, but tubular, process 
arises from the anal aperture, frequently surmounted by a globule of viscid 
colourless fluid (fg. 3). Colour, at first greenish grey; later, slaty grey. 
Antenne (7g. 12) of eight jo‘nts, the terminal three smallest. Limbs altogether 
absent. A densely chitinous paraphysis extends inwards from each stigmatic 
cleft, enclosing the spiracles. There are no stigmatic spines: but the dorso- 
marginal area of the stigmatic cleft is set with many fine hairs (7g. 14). Anal 
aperture (jzg. 13) oval: at some distance from margin: bordered by two 
densely chitinous semicircular plates, the anterior plate in the form of a narrow 
loop, the posterior plate broader, with recurved sides and concave hinder 
margin ; anal ring with from to to 16 stout hairs; no caudal sete. Dorsum 
thickly set with conspicuous oval and subcircular dermal cells (/ig. 15), largest 
on the area immediately anterior to the anal aperture, where they enclose the 
cribriform plates (jzg. 16). These latter are exceptionally numerous, extending 
in a dense group of from 100 to 150 across the median abdominal area (fg. 11). 
The paired dorsal glands are minute and modified in structure, being in the 
shape of two flasks united at their bases. They appear to be associated with 
the dermal cells (jig. 15). The insect is ovoviviparous. Length 3 to 4°75 mm. 
Breadth 2°5 to 3 mm. 
Female nymph (jg. 9) flattish, with slight median ridge. Dorsum coated 
with a thin glassy secretion. Antennz (jg. 10) of six stout joints. Limbs 
entirely wanting. Stigmatic spines present, but small and inconspicuous, one 
or two in each cleft, set back from the margin. A series of small marginal 
hairs. Anal aperture as in adult, but more circular, the posterior plate more 
widely expanded. Caudal setze small, about twice the length of the marginal 
hairs. Dorsal paired glands minute, inconspicuous, of same form as in adult. 
Length approximately 1mm. Breadth 0°65 mm. 
Larva (jig. 6) distinctly Lecaniid in form, with well-marked anal and 
stigmatic clefts. Stigmatic spines small, stout and spatulate, one in each cleft 
(fig. 8). Antennz six-jointed. Legs stout; the tibio-tarsal articulation obscure. 
Caudal setze moderately long. Margin of body with a series of minute hairs. 
Derm with numerous minute paired glands similar to those of the later stages, 
and a few small hair-like spines. Anal aperture (zg. 7) circular, with anterior
