tion dark brown; abdominal segments bearing spinelike plates; 

 broadened posteriorly. Caudal margin with small lobes ; median 

 lobes far apart, the interval occupied by two minute triangular 

 projections; second lobes prominent, about three times as long 

 as the median and similarly notched on each edge, with a low 

 rounded or pointed projection on each side; two short and one 

 long spinelike plate laterad of median lobes, second lobes followed 

 by spinelike plates, varying in length and from two to three in 

 number; notches of lobes vary; edge beyond carinate; caudal 

 margin thickened cephalad of lobes (Plate VI, fig. 1). Cir- 

 cumgenital glands absent. A few dorsal pores near margin. 



Male scale about 1.75 millimeters long, white, not carinate, 

 sides nearly parallel ; exuvia pale yellow ; often occur in irregular 

 masses.

The caudal margin resembles that of Chionaspis colemani 

 Kuw., but the latter has circumgenital glands. The female scale 

 is similar to L. albus Ckll., but the caudal margins are entirely 

 different.

 Hist. (1915), 34, 425. 



Female scale broadly elongate, somewhat convex, often curved, 

 about 3.5 millimeters long, the surface with ridges diverging 

 from a center near the exuviae; exuviae orange. Adult female 

 elongate-oval, abdominal segments produced; laterally, bearing 

 spines; median lobes broad, sloping to a blunt point, the edges 

 minutely dentate; second lobes of two shorter rounded lobules, 

 the first similar to the median lobes, slightly notched on each 

 side, the second simple; third pair of lobes short and rounded; 

 two spines and two spinelike plates between median lobes, two 

 spinelike plates laterad of median lobes and three laterad of 

 second and third lobes; basal margins of lobes thickened (Plate 

 VI, fig. 2). Dorsal glands prominent. 



Male scale nearly 2 millimeters long, rather broad, similar in 

 texture to the female scale.
