pores, disk pores also occurring ventrad of quinquelocular pores, the row 

 terminating near posterior pair of submarginal setae, slightly less numerous 

 than those dorsad of 8-shaped pores. 



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

 sparse ; tubular ducts 30-32 m long ; dorsal tubes present. 



Ventral surface : Antenna globular, apparently with 2 or 3 setae of nearly the 

 same length as diameter of antenna ; beak without setae ; spiracle with bar 

 expanded at inner end, atrium enlarged, bag-shaped, and containing 5-7 quinque- 

 locular pores, 14-20 similar pores extending from near inner end of bar to body 

 margin in a fan-shaped row ; 3 or 4 dark-rimmed 8-shaped pores each side cf beak, 

 2 or 4 on anterior end near antennae, and a few sometimes on abdomen ; sub- 

 marginal 8-shaped pores in a single row terminating fairly near genital opening, 

 nearly as numerous as marginal 8-shaped pores anteriorly, about one-half as 

 numerous as those pores elsewhere ; apparently 5 pairs of submarginal setae 

 on abdomen, the posterior pair nearer to bases of apical setae than to the posterior 

 pair of marginal 8-shaped pores ; 2 pairs of setae posterior to genital opening, 1 

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



Apex of abdomen : Slightly concave ; setae, apical 5.2 fi long, intermediate 

 and outer ventral (both anterior to apical) each 3.6 n long; anal opening ap- 

 parently apical, circular ; anal tube a sclerotized, pouchlike sack ; anal ring not 

 clearly differentiated, apparently membranous, on the ventral surface of the 

 tube. 



Larva. — Nearly elliptical. 



Margin : With 28 8-shaped pores, the posterior and anterior pairs slightly larger 

 than the others, the penultimate pair smallest, the others gradually increasing 

 in size from penultimate pair anteriorly, axes of all virtually longitudinal ; a pair 

 of minute setae close to each of the posterior 3 pairs of pores ; 4 pairs of 

 setae anteriorly. 



Dorsal surface : 8-shaped pores in a submedian row of 7 or 8 and a lateral 

 row of 9, on each half of body, anterior pores of each row slightly larger than 

 posterior ones, posterior submedian pores slightly larger than those of posterior 

 lateral row, all slightly larger than marginal pores of same segments ; disk 

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

 submedian rows. 



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

 stout, 1 slender ; distance between antennal bases one-third length of antenna ; 

 beak unusually long and pointed, wide on basal half and narrow on distal half, 

 proboscislike, with 1 pair of setae at tip, 1 pair in median area, and 1 pair at 

 base ; spiracle with 1 trilocular and 1 quinquelocular pore ; leg setae, ccxa 4, femur 



1 on inner margin at base and 1 each on inner and outer margins near center, 

 tarsus 2 on inner and 1 on outer margin ; tibia one-half as long as tarsus ; 7 pairs 

 of submarginal 8-shaped pores, none present between antennae ; apparently 10 

 pairs of submarginal setae, on abdomen, thorax, and head ; apparently 3 pairs of 

 setae between antennae and mouth parts. 



Apex of abdomen : Lobes indicated ; setae, apical apparently at least 36 fj. 

 long, interapical 3.2 jj, long, a pair 1 /jl long entad of, and anterior to, interapical 

 on dorsal surface, intermediate and outer ventral each 1 //, long ; anal opening 

 apical, longitudinally elliptical, its margin sclerotized ; anal tube sclerotized, 

 small, apparently larger at inner than at outer end ; anal ring a sclerotized band, 



2 setal bases on ventral side of tube close to ring. 



Data. — Described from 1 poor test, 4 mounted females, and 11 

 mounted larvae on Bairibusa sp., Antipolo, Luzon, Philippine Islands, 

 A. S. Hitchcock, June 9, 1921, U. S. N. H., holotype and paratypes. 



The larva of this species is unusual in having a long, proboscislike 

 beak. 



ASTEROLECANIUM PSEUDOLANCEOLATUM Takahaslli 

 (Fig. 54, A-G; pi. 7, 0) 



Takahashi described this species in 1933 (&£, pp. 31^-35) but stated 

 that it was part of the material he had listed as lanceolatum Green in 

 1930 (93, p. 11).
