Ventral surface : Antenna dome-shaped, with 2 setae longer than diameter 

 of antenna ; beak without setae ; spiracular bar nearly subcircular ; anterior 

 spiracle with 12 or 13 quinquelocular pores extending to body margin, the row 

 single near spiracle and 3 or 4 pores wide near margin ; posterior spiracle with 

 3 pores in a group near spiracle and with none or with 1 or 2 extending 

 toward margin ; multdlocular pores, with 10 loculi, in 4 complete and 4 

 interrupted rows, the posterior complete row with 4-6, penultimate with 7-9, 

 next with 8-10, next with 5-7, and each of interrupted rows with 2-4, making a 

 total of 34-40 ; dark-rimmed 8-shaped pores sparse, occurring in lateral area near 

 posterior spiracles and among multilocular pores ; submarginal 8-shaped pores in 

 a single row apparently terminating near the posterior row of multilocular pores, 

 irregularly spaced, approximately one-half as numerous as marginal 8-shaped 

 pores ; 8 disk pores in submarginal area near the posterior 4 pairs of submarginal 

 setae ; 6 pairs of submarginal setae on abdomen, the posterior pair near the pos- 

 terior pair of marginal 8-shaped pores ; 1 pair of setae in each of the posterior 

 3 rows of multilocular pores. 



Apex of abdomen : Setae, apical 28-31 n long, interapical 7.2 fi long, inner 

 ventral 4 fi long, outer ventral 5.4 j* long ; anal ring with 6 setae 30-32 fi long, and 

 an inner row of 6 and an outer one of 16 pores, apparently divided on dorsal 

 side. 



Larva. — Elliptical. 



Margin : With 28 8-shaped pores, the posterior and anterior pairs larger 

 than the others, axes of the posterior 6 pairs transverse, of the others longi- 

 tudinal ; 3 pairs of setae at anterior end. 



Dorsal surface : 8-shaped pores in a submedian row of 10 or 11 on each half 

 of body, posterior pores smaller than anterior ones and one-fifth or one-sixth 

 smaller than marginal pores of same segments; disk pores in lateral area. 



Ventral surface : Antennal setae, I, 1 ; IV, 1 ; V, ; VI, 2 long, 2 stout, 3 

 fairly stout, 1 slender ; bases of antennae one-third length of antenna apart ; 

 beak setae, 2 pairs apical, 1 pair median ; spiracle with 1 trilocular pore ; leg 

 setae, coxa 4, femur 1 on inner margin near base and 1 on outer margin near 

 center, tarsus 2 on inner and 1 on outer margin ; tibia about one-half as long 

 as tarsus; 9 pairs of submarginal 8-shaped pores; apparently 6 pairs of sub- 

 marginal minute setae on abdomen, 2 pairs of submarginal larger setae at anterior 

 end ; 1 pair of setae between antennae and mouth parts. 



Apex of abdomen : Notch small ; lobes indicated ; setae, apical 45 n long, inter- 

 apical 12.6 fi long, inner ventral 3.6 /x long, outer ventral 3.6 n long ; anal ring 

 with 6 setae about 12 fi long and apparently with a total of 12 or 14 pores. 



Data. — Described from an empty test, three mounted females, and 

 five mounted larvae on Arundinaria sp., Hung Mo Shan, Hainan, 

 Kwangtung, China, F. A. McClure, August 22-27, 1929, holotype and 

 paratypes. 



This species is closely related to chinae and subdolum, but the adult 

 female differs from that of chinae in lacking dorsal 8-shaped pores, 

 and from snhdolum in having the marginal 8-shaped pores terminating 

 farther from the apical setae. The larvae differ from those of chinae 

 and subdolum in having the axes of the posterior 6 pairs of marginal 

 pores transverse, and in having about 22 dorsal 8-shaped pores. 



Asterolecanium garciniae, new species 



(Fig. 26, E-K; pi. 7, G) 



Habit. — Living on the lower surface of leaves. 



Test of female. — Longer than wide, posterior end slightly produced ; 2 mm. 

 long, 1.5 wide ; slightly convex dorsally, with a faint longitudinal median carina, 

 and indications of a broad, curved, submarginal carina meeting median at anterior 

 third, also with 2 flat tubercles at anterior end ; flat ventrally ; rich yellow, trans- 

 parent, fairly thin, slightly punctate ; marginal filaments pale golden, dorsal 

 filaments rubbed off ; larval exit a slit in margin. 



Adult female. — Similar to test in shape, 1.8 mm. long, 1.3 wide. 



Margin : 8-shaped pores in a single row terminating about twice a pore's length 

 from bases of apical setae, 12 /j. long and 6 wide, a pore's width to length apart ;
