Asterolecaniune. 337 
Young larva (fig. 13) pale green. Eyes marginal, yellowish, inconspicuous, 
Antenna (/ég. 14) six-jointed, the third longest. Apex with one long knobbed 
hair, a rather shorter simple hair, and several short bristles. Foot with four 
knobbed digitules. 
Later larva (fig. 15) with a marginal series of twenty-eight paired curling 
filaments, the anterior eight on each side divergent, the remainder coincident 
(Jig. 16). 
On leaves of Arvundinaria sp. Pundaluoya. Lying in rows along the 
parallel ribs of the leaf. The under surface of the leaf is preferred ; but, where 
the insects are in great abundance, the upper surface of the foliage is equally 
affected. Infested leaves are readily noticeable by a yellow discoloration. 
Differs from A. mz/zarzs by the proportionately narrower and more elongate 
tests of the female, by the simpler and more obscure fringe, and by the paucity 
and obscureness of the marginal 8-shaped spinnerets.
