OK THE FAMILY COCCIDAE 



89 



weakly sclerotized ; reticulated only dorsally and between and anterior to the ventral eyes. 

 Preocular ridge with ventral part not extending far below articular process. Postocidar ridge 

 well developed throughout ; below ocellus the ridge splits up, completely enclosing the ocellus. 

 1 nterocular ridge absent, apparently represented by a small posteriorly directed process below 

 the articular process of the preocular ridge. Dorsal ocular setae : on each side 0-3 (average 

 1 7) f.s. and occasionally one h.s. ; ventral head setae : 18-27 (average 23) f.s. and 7-1 1 (average 

 9) h.s., of which 1-4 (average 2) f.s. and 0-3 (average 11) h.s. occur anteriorly, around the 

 midcranial ridge, and 1-4 (average 3) f.s. and 0-2 (average 1) h.s. between and behind the 

 ventral eyes. Preoral ridge present. Tendon-like apodeme long. Cranial apophysis of medium 

 length ; apex bifurcate, not reaching level of anterior margin of ventral eyes. Mouth opening 

 irregular. Anterior tentorial pits absent. 



Antennae 10-segmented, filiform ; 903-1047 (average 986) (z long, i.e. longer than half body 

 length (ratio 1 : 1-67-1-82, average 173), longer than posterior leg (ratio 1 : 107-113, average 

 i 10) and longer than penial sheath (ratio 1 : 2-53-2-78, average 2-66). Scape 46-53 (average 

 47) u, long and 49-53 (average 51) (x wide, with 3 h.s. Pedicel not reticulated ; 38-48 (average 

 43) (i long and 34-38 jj. wide ; with 1-4 (average 2) f.s., 4-9 (average 63) h.s. and a sensillum 

 placodeum. Segment III somewhat club-shaped, 3-6-4-5 (average 4) times longer than wide 

 (103-110, average 107 jjl long and 25-29, average 27 u, wide) ; with 1-4 (average 22) h.s. and 

 6-12 (average 10) f.s., the latter of medium width, o-8-i-i (average 09) times as long as width 

 of segment ; with 1-3 usual sensilla basiconica. Segments IV-IX cylindrical ; lengths of these 

 segments (in \x) 114-141 (average 127), 114-137 (average 127), 125-152 (average 138), 1 16-129 

 (average 120), 89-122 (average 105) and 76-95 (average 82) respectively, all of about the same
