OF PSEUDOCOCCIDAE & ERIOCOCCI DA E 155 



Glandular pouches well developed ; setae of glandular pouch consist of a pair of 229—275 (256) y. 

 long tail setae, and a pair of shorter setae of unequal lengths, 159-183 (171) and 70-116 (82) ^a 

 long respectively, and a short one, subequal in length to the abdominal setae ; the ratio length 

 of tail setae to total body length being 1 : 3-4-4-2 (3-8). Genital segment small, subtriangular 

 in dorsal view. Style rather straight in lateral view, with a rounded apex. Penial sheath 

 104-116 (no)(ji long and 76-92 (85)0. wide, the ratio being 1-1-1-5 ( I- 3) : l anc l the ratio its 

 length to total body length 1 : 8-1-10-0 (89). Basal ridge of the penial sheath and its projection 

 well developed. Process of penial sheath hardly indicated. Aedeagus broad gradually tapering 

 dorso-posteriorly. Setae of genital segment on each side : Dorsally 4 setae always present near 

 the base of the style ; ventrally 2-4 (26) setae occur on the penial sheath and 3-4 small setal 

 sensilla on its process. 



Material : 10 specimens examined, collected by O. W. Richards, on Nolletia sp., 

 in Colesberg bridge (over Orange River), Cape Province, South Africa, on 26. ix. 1952.

(Text-figs. 33, 34) 



Macropterous forms only known ; narrow and slender, of medium size, with comparatively 

 very long antennae and moderately long legs. Mounted specimens 938-1260 (no6)u long, 

 266-322 (294) (jl wide at mesothorax and 2254-2506 (2366)0 wing expanse. 



Body setae and pores : Body and appendages with numerous hair-like setae ; fleshy setae 

 entirely absent. Antennal setae about 61 o long, body setae about 241* long and leg setae of 

 intermediate length. Ouadrilocular and occasionally quinquelocular disc pores present on 

 head, thorax and abdomen, about 60 in diameter. 



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

 depression well pronounced in lateral view. Length from apex to postoccipital ridge 98-122 

 (104)0 ; from apex to neck 143-165 (153) o ; width across the genae 159-198 (180) o. Dorsal 

 arm of midcranial ridge absent, though its position marked by a sclerotization ; anteriorly 

 continuous with the ventral arm and posteriorly fading out before reaching the postoccipital 

 ridge. Lateral and ventral arms well developed. Postoccipital ridge indicated by a slender, 

 U-shaped sclerotization, anteriorly confluent with the preocular ridges. Dorsomedial part 

 of epicranium slightly raised. Preocular ridge widely separated from postocular ridge ; inter- 

 ocular ridge absent ; preoral ridge slender. Eyes : Dorsal simple eyes projecting beyond the 

 outer margins of the head in dorsal view ; the diameter of their corneae 15-21 (17)0, and 

 separated by 107-137 (122)0., i.e. 5-4-90 (6-9) times their diameter apart. Ventral eyes also 

 15-21 (19) o in diameter and 31-46 (37)0 apart. Lateral ocelli well developed, attached to the 

 postocular ridges by means of a short sclerotized arm. Ocular scleriles large. Cranial 

 apophysis apically truncate ; tentorial bridge slender. Dorsal head setae on each side 8-1 1 

 (9-7) anterior to the postoccipital ridge ; each gena almost always with 3 and occasionally 2 

 (av. 2-8) genal setae. Ventral head setae on each side : 1-2 (1-5) between the ventral eyes ; 

 6-9 (7-0) in the area of the ventral preocular depression forming on both sides a transverse 

 band ; 2-3 (2-8) on each side of the ventral arm of the midcranial ridge. Head disc pores : 

 Dorsal pores absent ; one ventral pore always present on each side. 



Antennae : Filiform ; 10-segmented ; 760-970 (878)0. long, i.e. much longer than half the 

 body length (ratio 1 : 1-2-1-3, av - I-2 5) an d longer than the hind legs (ratio 1-2-1-4, av - *"3 : J )- 

 Scape 46-52 (49)0 long and 43-47 (46)0 wide at base ; always with 4 h.s. Pedicel 58-64 (61)0
