Aspidiotus (Targionia) cedri, sp. nov. (% 10). 



Female puparium circular, flattish ; very dense ; very dark blackish brown, 

 inner surface sometimes whitish. Pellicles concealed, the position of the larval 

 pellicle marked by a small raised boss. Diameter, 1-50 to 1*65 mm. 



Adult female (fig. 10, a) roughly circular. The pygidium — which occupies 

 practically the whole of the abdominal area — broadly rounded, but deeply indented 

 at the junctions of the suppressed segments. Posterior margin (fig. 10, 6) with four 

 broad, but only slightly prominent, obscurely tricuspid lobes, set close together, 

 with thickened inward extensions. Beyond the lobes, on each side, the margin is 

 strongly cristate, with three large and well-defined prominences w^hich simulate
