Apex of abdomen: Setae, apical 38 p long, interapical 5 p long, a pair 1 p 

 long entad of interapical, outer ventral 2.2 p long; anal opening apparently a 

 narrow incision in dorsal surface at margin; anal tube sbort, sclerotized ; anal 

 ring with 2 setae apparently less than 1 p long. 



Third-stage male. — Resembling adult female in shape, but smaller; margin 

 with 8-shaped pores terminating a posterior pore's length from bases of apical 

 setae, 1 or 2 trilocular pores where anterior spiracular pore band meets margin, 

 others present between that point and the posterior pair of 8-shaped pores, 

 about as numerous as 8-shaped pores, but 2 or 3 trilocular pores near each pore 

 of the posterior pair of 8-shaped pores; dorsal surface without large 8-shaped 

 pores ; ventral surface with atrium of spiracle not enlarged and not containing 

 pores,' and with only 2 or 3 trilocular pores in each spiracular row, legs repre- 

 sented by 3 pairs of circular, faintly sclerotized areas; apex of abdomen with 

 lobes indicated, apical setae 48 p long, interapical setae 2 p long, outer ventral 

 setae 2 p long; anal opening in body margin, circular, its margin membranous, 

 anal tube, anal ring, and anal setae absent. 



Data. — Described from one test, three mounted females, nine 

 mounted larvae, and one mounted third-stage male on Omnia philip- 

 i pinensis, Mt. Giting-giting, Magallanes, Sibuyan, Philippine Islands, 



A. D. E. Elmer, April 1910, U. S. N. H., holotype and paratypes. 



Closely resembling pinangae, but differing from it in having mar- 

 ginal 8-shaped pores terminating well before the apical setae, in 

 having nearly 50 multilocular pores instead of about 20, and in having 

 apical setae which are only 20 p long. 



Asterolecanium ordinarium, new species 



(Fig. 46, G-O; pi. 3, C) 



Habit. — Living on the lower surface of leaves. 



Test of female.— Elongate, widest on anterior third, tapering to posterior end,, 

 margin sometimes indented by growth against hairs on leaf ; 1.5-1.6 mm. long, 

 0.4-0.5 wide ; convex dorsally, flat ventrally ; pale greenish yellow or pale clear 

 yellow, transparent, thin ; marginal filaments very pale yellow, almost whitish, or 

 very pale pinkish, not observed at posterior end, apparently slightly longer at 

 anterior end than elsewhere ; dorsal filaments whitish, fairly numerous, mostly 

 slightly longer than marginal ; larval exit apparently circular or elliptical, in 

 ventral surface at margin. 



Adult female. — In shape similar to test, 1.10-1.4 mm. long, 0.35-0.5 wide. 



Margin : 8-shaped pores in a single row terminating around length of an 

 apical seta from bases of setae, the anterior pores around 10 8 p long and 7.2 wide, 

 the others 7.2-9 p long and 4 5-5.4 wide, normally around a pore's length apart ; 

 quinquelocular pores in a single row terminating within 10 8-shaped pores from 

 ends of that row, about as numerous as 8-shaped pores posteriorly, at least twice 

 as numerous elsewhere ; disk pores dorsad of, and less numerous than, 8-shaped 

 pores, terminating with 1 or 2 beyond the posterior pair of 8-shaped pores. 



Dorsal surface : 8-shaped pores fairly numerous, some 7-8 p long and 6 wide 

 but the majority 10.8-12 p long and 7.2 wide ; minute 8-shaped pores not observed ; 

 disk pores fairly numerous ; tubular ducts 28.8 p long ; dorsal tubes present. 



Ventral surface : Antenna circular, short, with 2 setae longer, and 2 slightly 

 shorter, than diameter of antenna ; beak without setae ; spiracle with bar fairly 

 slender, slightly expanded at inner end, atrium slightly enlarged and containing 

 2-5 quinquelocular pores, 3-5 similar pores extending from spiracle to body 

 margin ; 1 dark-rimmed 8-shaped pore each side of beak, a few scattered on 

 anterior end, and a few arranged in 3 transverse rows on abdomen ; submarginal 

 8-shaped pores in a single row terminating near genital opening, usually 1 op- 

 posite each marginal 8-shaped pore, when they are around a pore's length apart ; 

 6 pairs of submarginal setae on abdomen, the posterior pair near terminating 

 point of marginal 8-shaped pores ; 1 pair of setae posterior to genital opening, 

 1 pair anterior to it, and 1 pair anterior to those. 



Apex of abdomen : Slightly concave ; setae, apical 30.6 p long, interapical 10.8 p 

 long, inner ventral 5 4/i long, outer ventral 7.2-9 p long ; anal ring with 6 setae 

 27-30 p long, and with an inner row of 6 and an outer row of apparently 12 pores, 

 divided on dorsal side.
