18 XLIX. K. šulci 



On the S"'^ abdominal segment : 1 — 2 transitory and, 5 — 7 serrated 

 ducts; 3—5 peripheric, 8 — 12 dorsal cylinders. 



On the 4'^ abdominal segment: 5 — 7 serrated dncts, 4 peripheric, 

 6—9 dorsal cylinders. 



Each segment bears one hair on the dorsal and on the ventral 

 side; between every two subsequent segments opens one cylindrical 

 duet, which may be named intersegmental on account of its exceptional 

 position. 



The telson (Tab. 2. fig. 3.) does not present, a distinct part of 

 the body as in other Diaspidinae, but we can justly infer, that it 

 begins probably also here with the 5"" abdominal segment, because 



1 háve found in some speciraens a well developed, lobe on this segment, 

 which does not normally occur here. Three pairs of constant lobi 

 (Fig. 5 a— f; a — is a cloven lobus) generally of the samé shape as 

 in the genus Parlatoria, but variing much in form. They are dor- 

 sally distinctly limited against the periphery of the telson, ventrally 

 they run into the thickenings of the body wall. There stands on 

 each of them one dorsal, and one ventral hair; 2 serrated ducts 

 between the lobi of the 1*' pair, 2 between lobi of the 1** and the 

 2'"' pair, 3 between lobes of the 2""^ and the 3'^ pair; then follow 



2 serrated ducts again, a little space over which is a cylinder no 

 doubt intersegmental originally; between this and intersegmental cy- 

 linder behind the 4*'' abdominal segment there stand 5 fringed ducts ; 

 there are 7 — 14 peripheric, and 9 — 15 more dorsally situated cylin- 

 drical ducts on the telson in total. 



Fivegroups of spinnerets ; mesal group 3 — 4, cephalolaterals 7 — 13, 

 caudolaterals 7 — 10. 



There are scattered on the ventral side 10 — 12 simple ducts 

 and some short hairs. 



Genital fissure is transversal, 2 times so far from the posterior 

 end as the circular, dorsally situated anal orifice. 



The male is of a purplish colour, for the rest of the samé form 

 as in other Diaspidinae. (A more minuté description will be pu- 

 blished with that of some as yet undescribed males of Coccidae 

 latery.) 



Habitat : on leaves of Abies picea. Bohemia, on several localites. 

 The females were just adult, and the males emerged the 23'''^ of 

 May 1895. 



In systém Syngenaspis is dosely allied to the genus Parlatoria, 

 on account of similai' morphology of (^ and 9^ though very different
