Adult female. — Somewhat elongate ovoid, 1.25-1 6 mm. long, 1.10-1.25 wide. 



Margin: 8-shaped pores in a single row terminating about one-half length of 

 an apical seta from setal bases, each pore with a small, sclerotized, tongue-shaped 

 projection on dorsal edge, posterior pores about 8 /* long and 5 wide, others 9-10 fi 

 long and 5-6 wide, usually slightly more than a pore's length apart; quinque- 

 locular pores in a single row at each spiracular pore band, 15-19 at the anterior 

 band and 29-33 at the posterior one, the row interrupted between the spiracular 

 pore bands, 1 quinquelocular pore opposite each 8-shaped pore at ends of each 

 group and 2 opposite each 8-shaped pore elsewhere. 



Dorsal surface : Minute 8-shaped pores rather sparse ; disk pores numerous ; 

 tubular ducts 22-24 fi long. 



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

 of antenna ; beak with 2 pairs of setae ; spiracular bar fairly bread ; 15-24 quin- 

 quelocular pores extending from spiracle to body margin in an irregularly single 

 or double row ; multilocular pores, with 6-12 (usually 10) loculi, in 4 complete and 

 4 interrupted rows, posterior and penultimate rows each with 10 or 11 pores, each 

 of next 2 with 3-8, each of the interrupted rows with 2, the total number 30-42 ; 

 2 or 3 dark-rimmed 8-shaped pores each side of beak, a few scattered on anterior 

 end, and a few in lateral area of abdomen ; submarginal 8-shaped pores in a 

 single row terminating at median line slightly anterior to anal opening, as numer- 

 ous as 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 the posterior 

 row of multilocular pores and 1 pair in each of the other complete rows. 



Apex of abdomen : Lobes faintly indicated ; setae, apical 48 n long, interapical 



5.4 fi long, outer ventral 3 n long ; anal opening in ventral surface well removed 

 from margin, nearly circular, its margin slightly sclerotized or membranous. 



Larva. — Elongate ovoid. 



Margin : With 28 8 shaped pores, the anterior pair slightly the largest, axes of 

 all longitudinal ; 2 pairs of setae at anterior end. 



Dorsal surface : 8-shaped pores in a submedian row of apparently 10 or 11 

 and a lateral row of apparently 9, on each half of body, the total number 3S-40, 

 individual pores about as long as the width of marginal pores ; disk pores between 

 submedian and lateral 8-shaped pores and a few between lateral and marginal. 



Ventral surface: Antenral setae, I, 1: IV, 1; V, 0; VI. 2 long, 2 stout, 2 

 fairly stout. 2 slender ; antennal bases nearly one-half length of antenna apart ; 

 beak setae, 3 pairs at tip; anterior spiracle with 1 trilocular and 1 quinquelocular 

 pore, posterior spiracle without pores ; leg setae, coxa 3, femur 1 on inner margin 

 near base, tarsus 1 each on inner and outer margins; tibia one-fifth as long 

 as tarsus; 9 pairs of submarginal 8-shaped pores; 7 pairs of. submarginal minute 

 setae on abdomen, 1 pair of submarginal larger setae at anterior end; 3 pairs of 

 setae between antennae and mouth parts. 



Apex of abdomen : Setae, apical 45 ij. long, interapical 7.2 n long, outer ventral 



2.5 (x long; anal opening in margin, circular; anal tube very short and heavily 

 sclerotized ; anal ring a sclerotized band with ventral edge almost on ventral 

 surface and with 2 setae 3.6-5 ix long. 



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

 and four mounted larvae on Pasania sp., and two mounted females 

 on Quercus (Lithocarpus) sp., Tientai Shan, Chekiang, China, K. C. 

 Ching, May 5-18, 1934, U. S. N. H., holotype and paratypes. 



Closely related to pasaniae, but separable from it in the adult stage 

 by its small number of marginal quinquelocular pores, and in the larval 

 stage by the absence of a pore near the posterior spiracle and the 

 presence of two setae on the anal ring. 



Asterolecanium notabile, new species 



(Fig. 45, A-G; pi. 5, B) 



Habit. — Living on both surfaces of leaves. 



Test of female. — Elongate elliptical, 2.5-3 mm. long, 1.5-1.8 wide; slightly 

 convex dorsally, with a faint longitudinal median carina ; flat ventrally ; unpara- 

 sitized tests greenish yellow, parasitized test deep pink, transparent, fairly thin, 

 finely punctate; marginal filaments pale yellow on greenish-yellow tests, deep
