parts; submarginal 8-shaped pores in a single row terminating near posterior 

 pair of marginal 8-shaped ports and about one-half as numerous as those 

 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 each of the other complete rows. 



Apex of abdomen : Setae, apical 56 fi long, interapical 8 n long, outer ventral 

 8 ii long; anal opening ventral, fairly well removed from body margin, small, 

 near]y circular, its margin faintly sclerotized. 



Larva. — Elliptical. 



Margin: With 28 8-shaped pores, the anterior pores slightly smaller than 

 the others, axes of all longitudinal ; 2 pairs of setae at anterior end. 



Dorsal surface : 8-shaped pores in a submedian row of 10-12 and a lateral 

 row of 8 or 9, on each half of body, varying slightly in size with the largest 

 about one-half the size of a posterior marginal pore ; disk pores between 

 submedian and lateral 8-shaped pores. 



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

 fairly stout, 2 slender ; antennal bases one-half length of antenna apart ; beak 

 setae, certainly 2 pairs, and possibly 3 pairs, all at tip; anterior spiracle with 

 1 trilocular and 1 quinquelocular pore, posterior spiracle with 1 trilocular pore ; 

 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 minute submarginal setae on abdomen, 1 pair of 

 submarginal larger setae at anterior end ; 2 pairs of setae near antennae. 



Apex of abdomen : Setae, apical 42 y, long, interapical 9 y, long, outer ventral 

 7.8 At long; anal opening an incision in margin, anal tube very short, slightly 

 sclerotized ; anal ring with ventral edge almost at opening. 



Data. — Redescribed from one test, two poor, mounted females, and 

 three mounted larvae on Pasania ctcspidata, Hachijo Shima, Japan, 

 1905, received from Cockerell, type material. 



The characters considered here differ from those mentioned and 

 illustrated by Kuwana (54, V- 15%) m the presence of two setae on the 

 antenna instead of one, and in the presence of marginal 8-shaped pores 

 at the anterior end of the body. 



ASTEROLECANIUM PENICILLATUS!, new Species 



(Fig. 49, A-L; pi. 8, N) 



Habit. — Living on both surfaces of leaves. 



Test of female. — Elongate, 1.6-2 mm. long, 0.25-0.3 wide, sides parallel, 

 or indented by growth against hairs on leaf, posterior end narrowed and some- 

 times slightly upturned; strongly convex dorsally, flat or convex ventrally; 

 greenish yellow, transparent, thin, shiny, slightly 'punctate near margin; mar- 

 ginal filaments whitish, observed only on lateral margins; dorsal filaments not 

 observed ; circular larval exit in ventral surface at margin. 



Adult female. — Elongate, posterior end slightly narrowed; 1.5-1.9 mm. long, 

 0.25 wide. 



Margin : 8-shaped pores in a single row starting slightly nearer to anterior 

 spiracular pore bands than to median line at anterior end and terminating a 

 little nearer to posterior spiracular pore bands than to bases of apical setae, 

 none to 3 at anterior end, the individual pores 7.2-8 y long and 3.6^ wide, once 

 to twice a pore's length apart at ends of row and slightly less than a pore's 

 length apart elsewhere; quinquelocular pores in a single row beginning at, or 

 slightly posterior to, the anterior pair of 8-shaped pores, and terminating near 

 the third to ninth 8-shaped pore from end of row, as numerous as corresponding 

 8-shaped pores at ends of row, about one and a half times as numerous elsewhere. 



Dorsal surface: One 8-shaped pore 12.6 y, long and 7.2 wide at anterior end; 

 minute 8-shaped and disk pores sparse; tubular ducts 24 y long; dorsal tubes 

 present. 



Ventral surface: Antenna short, with 2 setae slightly longer than diameter 

 of antenna ; beak without setae ; spiracle with bar slender, sometimes expanded 

 at inner end, atrium very slightly enlarged and containing 1 or 2 quinquelocular 

 pores, 1-3 similar pores between spiracle and body margin; 2 quinquelocular 

 pores posterior to genital opening; 1-3 dark-rimmed 8-shaped pores each side
