OF PSEUDOCOCCIDAE & ERIOCOCCIDAE 101 



Legs : Comparatively long and moderately stout ; the ratio length of the hind legs to the 

 total body length i : 1-5-1 -8 (1-7). Coxa and trochanter about 46 and 24^ wide respectively. 

 Femur about 37 u. wide ; that of the middle leg shortest and that of the hind leg longest ; 

 the ratio width to length of the hind femur 1 : 5-5-6-3 (5-7). Tibia about 21 [i wide ; with 

 2 apical strong spurs and 2-4 smaller spines ; in the fore legs the femur is slightly shorter than 

 the tibia, the ratio their lengths 1 : 1-04-1-2 (i-i). Tarsus about 21 u. wide ; tarsal digitules 

 apically knobbed, 37-43 (40)^ long. Claw gradually tapering towards a pointed end ; ungual 

 digitules with acute tips. In the following table, the lengths of the leg segments (in microns) 

 and the number of setae on each are given :

Abdomen : 388-441 (418)0. long and 236-274 (251)11 wide. Tergites of segments I and II 

 small and narrow ; those of segments VIII and IX + X distinct. Sternites of segment VIII 

 weak. Ostioles well developed, 31-37 (34) \i long at orifice. Abdominal setae on each side : Dorsal 

 setae 2-3 on segments I to VII and always 2 on segment VIII. Pleural setae 3-5 on segments 

 I to VII, and always 3 on segment VIII, including one slightly longer seta. Ventral setae 

 always 1 on segment II, usually 2 and sometimes 3 on segments III to VII, and absent on 

 segment VIII. Abdominal disc pores : Segments I to VII with 9-16 (12-2), 3-5 (37), 2-4 

 (2-9), 2-5 (31), 2-4 (2-9), 3-4 (3-4), and 3-6 (46) pleural pores respectively ; segment VI also 

 with 0-1 (04) and segment VII with 0-2 (i-i) ventral pores. 



Glandular pouches well developed ; setae of glandular pouch consist of a pair of 336-366 

 (35i)u, long tail setae, and one seta of medium length (70-92, av. 79(1 long) ; i.e. the ratio 

 length of the tail setae to the total body length 1 : 3-1-3-4 (3-3). 



Genital segment small ; triangular in dorsal view, with a short narrow style ; the latter 

 curving upwards in lateral view. Penial sheath 98-110 {io^)\j. long and 70-82 (76) u. wide, i.e. 

 the ratio length to width 1-2-1-5 ( I- 4) : *• an d tne ratio its length to the total body length 

 1 : 10-1-12-5 ( II-2 )- Basal ridge of penial sheath with a small projection. Process of penial 

 sheath well pronounced and usually with 3-4 minute setal sensilla. Aedeagus relatively long 

 and broad, with a wide internal genital aperture. Setae of the genital segment : Dorsally, 3 setae 

 always present on each side near the base of the style ; ventrally 3-4 (3-5) slightly smaller 

 setae occur on each side of the penial sheath.
