axes of the posterior 6 pairs transverse, of the others longitudinal; a pair of 

 minute setae close to each of the posterior 3 pairs of pores ; 3 pairs of setae at 

 anterior end. 



Dorsal surface : 8-shaped pores in a submedian row of 10 and a lateral row of 

 ]3, on each half of body, lateral pores placed irregularly on thorax and suggest- 

 ing a submarginal row, the posterior 4 or 5 submedian pores slightly smaller than 

 the anterior 5 or 6 and practically equal in size to marginal pores of same seg- 

 ments, the anterior 3 or 4 lateral pores slightly larger than the posterior pore 

 and slightly larger than marginal pores of same segments; a few disk pores 

 rather close to lateral 8-shaped pores ; a pair of minute setae anterior to anterior 

 pair of submedian 8-shaped pores. 



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

 stout, 2 slender ; articulation between fif :h and sixth antennal segments rather 

 indefinite ; antennal bases one-third length of antenna apart ; beak setae, 2 pairs 

 apical, 1 pair basal ; spiracle with 1 Unilocular and 1 quinquelocular pore or with 

 2 trilocular pores ; leg setae, coxa 4, femur 1 on inner margin near base and 1 

 each on inner and outer margins near center ; tarsus 1 each on inner and outer 

 margins ; tibia about one-half as long as tarsus ; 9 pairs of submarginal 8-shaped 

 pores; apparently 16 disk pores, submargiual in position, nearly in line with 

 submarginal 8-shaped pores, occurring on head, thorax, and abdomen, and ter- 

 minating on penultimate segment of body ; apparently 7 pairs of submarginal 

 minute setae, on head, thorax, and abdomen, the posterior pair on the fifth 

 segment from posterior end of body, 2 pairs of submarginal larger setae at 

 anterior end ; 1 pair of setae anterior to antennae and 2 pairs between antennae 

 and mouth parts. 



Apex of abdomen : Notch present ; setae, apical 48 /x long, interapical 5.4 ix 

 long, dorsal 1.8 /x long, intermediate ventral 2 /x long, fairly close to median line, 

 outer ventral 3.6 /x long ; anal ring with 6 setae each 21 /x long and with an inner 

 row of 6 and an outer one of 12 pores, divided on dorsal and ventral sides ; ven- 

 tral surface of apex slightly sclerotized and rugose close to margin. 



Data. — Described from unmounted material, 9 mounted females, 

 and 15 mounted larvae on Inga verra, Utuado, Puerto Rico, V. Medina, 

 March 18, 1935, from G. N. Wolcott, holotype and paratopes. 



Although ingae is most closely related to various Neotropical spe- 

 cies, it superficially resembles the Ethiopian species coffeae, from which 

 it may, however, be readily distinguished in both the adult and larva 

 by the absence of a sclerotized elongate bar extending anteriorly from 

 the base of each interapical seta. 



ASTEROLECANIUM INLABEFACTUM, new species 



(Fig. 33, A-F; pi. 9, X) 



Habit. — Living on bark and on the lower surface of leaves. 



Test of female. — Elongate, 1-1.35 mm. long and 0.4-0.5 wide, the posterior third 

 or half slightly narrowed, each end usually truncate, but sometimes slightly 

 rounded ; convex dorsally, flat ventrally ; pale greenish yellow, transparent, dull 

 or shiny, punctate ; marginal filaments very pale greenish yellow, longest across 

 posterior end, dorsal filaments rubbed off ; elliptical larval exit in dorsal surface 

 at the margin. 



Adult female. — Similar to test in shape, 0.9-1.25 mm. long, 0.3-0.4 wide. 



Margin : 8-shaped pores in a single row which is continued between the apical 

 setae, the posterior 4 pores slightly farther apart than the others, which are about 

 a' pore's width apart, the pores on anterior half of body and the posterior 5 or 6 

 pores around 8 /x long and 5 wide, the others around 7 /x long and 4 wide ; trilocu- 

 lar pores in a single row, which is either complete or interrupted toward anterior 

 end, and which terminates slightly nearer to the apical setae than to the 

 posterior spiracular pore bands, 1 trilocular pore opposite every 2 or 3 8-shaped 

 pores near end of row, and usually 1 or 2 near each 8-shaped pore elsewhere. 



Dorsal surface : 8-shaped pores 9 /x long and 5 wide, in 2 groups of 9-15 each 

 in lateral area at anterior end ; pores measuring only 5 u long and 3 wide occur- 

 ring posterior to the large pores, extending across body and numerous in trans- 

 verse median area but sparse on posterior third ; minute 8-shaped and disk pores 

 very sparse ; tubular ducts 24 fx long.
