n8 MORPHOLOGY AND TAXONOMY OF ADULT MALES 



Abdomen : 274-357 ii 12 )^ l° n g an d 198-213 (205)[x wide. A small tergite on each side of 

 segments I and II present ; tergites of segments VIII and IX -f X large. A weak sternite 

 on each side of segment VIII present. Ostioles entirely absent. Abdominal setae on each 

 side : Dorsal setae 1-3 on segments I to VIII. Pleural setae usually 3 on segments I to VIII 

 (sometimes 2 setae occur on segment I, and 4 on segment III) ; pleural setae of segment VIII 

 include a slightly longer seta. Ventral setae always 1 on segment II, 2 on segments III to VII, 

 and absent on segment VIII. Abdominal disc pores : Segments I to VII with 10-15 (12-2), 

 4-5 (4 - 5). 4- 6 (4- 8 ). 4-7 (53). 4-7 (5'2). 4-7 (4-9), and 4-6 (5-1) pleural pores respectively. 



Setae of glandular pouch consist of a pair of tail setae, 238-259 (250)51 long, and one, 37-46 

 (40)11 long seta, the ratio length of the tail seta to the total length of the body being 1 : 3-2-3-9 

 (3-6). 



Genital segment small ; subtriangular in dorsal view. Style curving upwards in lateral 

 view. Penial sheath 76-82 (79)^ long and 55-61 (58)51 wide, the ratio being 1-3-1-5 (1-4) : 1, 

 and the ratio its length to the total body length 1 : 10-4-11-5 (11-2). Basal ridge of penial 

 sheath with a small projection ; process of penial sheath well pronounced. Aedeagus gradually 

 tapering towards a pointed tip. Setae of genital segment : Dorsally 3 setae always present on 

 each side near the base of the style ; ventrally 3-4 (3-3) setae occur on each side of the penial 

 sheath, and 3-4 setal sensilla on its process. 



Material : 10 specimens examined, collected by J. Munting, on Palm, in Durban, 

 South Africa, i.x.1963. 



MACONELLICOCCUS Ezzat, 1958 



Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green) 



(Text-figs. 15, 16) 



Macropterous forms only known ; living specimens light brown or yellowish. The males 

 narrow and slender, of medium size, with comparatively short antennae and moderately long 

 legs. Mounted specimens 1022-1428 (1232)51 long, 252-322 (294)11 wide and 1708-2310 (2016) 51 

 wing expanse. 



Body setae and disc pores : Antennae and legs with many fleshy and few hair-like setae, about 

 2151 long ; body itself with only somewhat shorter hair-like setae. Quadrilocular and 

 occasionally trilocular or quinquelocular pores present on the head, thorax and abdomen. 



Head : Subtetrahedron ; subtriangular in dorsal and front views ; ventral preocular 

 depression hardly pronounced in lateral view. Length from apex to postoccipital ridge 1 13-134 

 (125)51 ; from apex to neck 153-192 (174)11 ; width across the genae 186-226 (214)51. Dorsal 

 arm of midcranial ridge anteriorly detached from the other arms, and posteriorly meeting the 

 postoccipital ridge. Lateral arms forming with the ventral arm a Y-shaped ridge. Postoccipital 

 ridge with a sclerotized area at its medio-posterior base ; anteriorly confluent with preocular 

 ridges. Dorsomedial part of epicranium slightly raised. Preocular and interocular ridges join 

 the postocular ridge below the ocellus ; preocular ridge without any ventral rudiment. Eyes : 

 Dorsal simple eyes slightly projecting beyond the outer margins of the head in dorsal view ; 

 their corneae 24-37 (31)11 in diameter, and separated by 104-128 (119)51, i.e. 3-3-4-4 (3-7) times 

 their corneae apart. Ventral simple eyes 27-40 (34)51 in diameter and 21-31 (28) [i apart. 

 Lateral ocelli well developed. Ocular sclerites weakly sclerotized. Cranial apophysis with 

 truncate apex. Tentorial bridge slender. Dorsal head setae 12-16 (13-4) on each side of the 

 median line ; each gena usually with 3-4, and occasionally 5 genal setae (av. 3.3). Ventral 

 head setae on each side : 1-2 (1-9) between the ventral eyes ; 13-16 (14-1) forming on both 

 sides a transverse band across the area of the preocular depression ; 2-3 (2-2) anteriorly on
