Fig. 7. — Chionaspis /untunuac, Newst. ; fringe of pygidium of adult 9- 



The absenee of longitudinal earinae in the puparia of the male of Chionaspis is 

 very rare indeed ; in this species there is not even a faint trace of them, and what 

 is still more remarkable, they are similar in texture to those of the female. The 

 widely separated and somewhat obconical lobes of the pygidium, in the female, 

 with their bilateral serrations, are also markedly characteristic and bear a rather 

 striking resemblance to the corresponding organs in Mytilaspis (Lepidosaphes) 

 chitinosus, Lindinger (Jahrb. Hamb. Wiss. Anst, xxvi, p. 34, 1909).
