Ing lisia. 
INGLISIA, Maskell. 
Inglista, Maskell, V.Z. Trans., Vol. XI. p. 213 (1878). 
Maskell describes his genus in the following terms :—‘ Test of female 
glassy, elevated, striated with rows of air cells. Fringe not always present in 
the adult stage.’ 
Cockerell’s definition is :—-‘ Scale divided into plates, and striated with rows 
of air cells.’ 
The above definitions sufficiently describe the character of the test of the 
insect. The division into distinct plates is a very constant character. 
The adult female has the distinctive characters of the Lecanizzue. There is 
a distinct abdominal cleft, and the usual hinged anal operculum. There is 
usually a marginal fringe of lanceolate or conical spines. 
The genus is principally confined to New Zealand, but isolated species 
have been recorded from Mexico, Trinidad, India, and now from Ceylon. 
Onychocephalus, of Newstead, appears to me to be very doubtfully separable 
from Jngtisza.
