 setae* spiracle with bar broad, nearly subcircular, with shallow furrows extend- 

 ing around opening, and with 1 or 2 quinquelocular pores in a group at opei 

 3-9 similar pores extending to body margin in a single row, a total of 4-10 m 

 group and row combined: legs represented by 3 pairs of slightly curved, rather 

 slender claws: multilocular pores, with 9 or 10 loculi, in 5 complete ai 

 interrupted rows, the anterior row anterior to the posterior spiracles, posterior 

 row with 5-7. penultimate with 9-17. each of next 3 with 0-lo. each of next 2 

 with 4-S and each of next 2 with 2-4. the total ranging from 55-70; 2 4 dark- 

 rimmed 8-shaped pores each side of beak, a few scattered on anterior end, and 

 others tending toward arrangement in 5-7 transverse rows posterior to beak: 

 submarginal 8-shaped pores in a single row terminating near the posterior pair 

 of marginal 8-<haped pores, nearly as numerous as marginal 8-shape 

 disk pores in a submarginal row entad of submarginal 8-shaped pores, terminat- 

 ing nearlv directlv anterior to apical setae, about one-third as numeroi 

 marginal 8-shaped pores ; submarginal setae in a complete row terminating near 

 the posterior pair of marginal 8-shaped pores; 2 pairs of setae in posterior row 

 of multilocular pores and 1 pair in penultimate row.

 long • anal ring with 2 setae 33-36 m long and four setae 28-30 fi long, and with 

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

 sides; ventral surface with a rather elongate sclerotized area extending an- 

 teriorly from intermediate ventral or interapical setae, area between bars lamtly 

 sclerotized in dentate rows.

Specimens used in preparing this description have been placed as 

 litseae on the basis of Kuwanafe original description and figure, 



Asterolecanium longulum, new species 



(Fig. 38, F-L; pi. 9. G) 



Habit. — Unknown. 



Test of female. — Elongate, sides parallel, 2.5 mm. long, 0.5 wide; slightly 



convex dorsally. flat venrrally : clear yellow, transparent, thin, shiny, slightly 

 punctate in submarginal area : marginal filaments pale yellow to pinkish, much 



longer at anterior end than elsewhere; larval exit a slit in margin. 



Adult female.— Elongate, 2-2.25 mm. long. 0.."> wide. 



Margin: B-shaped pores in a single row. usually terminating three or four 

 times the length of an apical seta from bases of setae, aboul 15 pores at anterior 

 end measuring 12 n long and (i wide, others measuring 10 ft long and 5 wide, 

 nearly contiguous at ends of body, usually a pore's width apart elsewhere: 

 quinquelocular pores in a single row extending from opposite or slightly anterior 

 to antennae to near posterior fourth of body, usually about one-half as numerous 

 as 8-shaped pores at each end of row and at least as numerous as B-shaped pores 

 elsewhere: disk pores dorsad of 8-shaped pores and approximately one-third as 

 numerous as 8-shaped pores, terminating with 1 or 2 posterior to the last pair of 

 8-shaped pores.
