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

 marginal 8-shaped pores, half as numerous as the marginal 8-shaped pores; 5 

 pairs of submarginal setae on abdomen, the posterior pair slightly nearer to 

 the posterior marginal 8-shaped pores than to bases of apical setae; 1 pair of 

 setae posterior to genital opening, 1 pair anterior to it, and 1 pair anterior 

 to those. 



Apex of abdomen: Notch present; lobes indicated; setae, apical 60 /* long, 

 interapical 8 \i long, inner ventral 3.6 /* long, outer ventral 5 /* long ; anal ring 

 with 6 setae 34 /* long and with an inner row of 6 and an outer one of 20 

 pores, tending toward division on dorsal side; ventral surface of apex rugose. 



Data. — Described from two tests (one empty) and one mounted 

 female on Schizo stocky urn sp., Tungking, Kwangtung, China, F. A. 

 McClure, January 21, 1932. 



Closely related to circulare but differing from it in lacking marginal 

 quinquelocular pores. 



Asterolecanium repugnans, new species 



(Fig. 59, F-J; pi. 8, E) 



Habit. — Living on bark. 



Test of female.— Somewhat ovoid, posterior end slightly produced ; 1.5-1.85 mm. 

 long, 1.4-1.5 wide ; strongly convex dorsally, flat or very slightly convex ventrally ; 

 brownish yellow, transparent, fairly thin; marginal filaments whitish, frag- 

 mentary; dorsal filaments whitish, scattered, matted down but presumably ap- 

 proximately same length as marginal ; elliptical larval exit in dorsal surface at 

 margin. 



Adult female. — Somewhat ovoid, posterior end produced; approximately 1.25 

 mm. long, 1 wide. 



Margin: 8-shaped pores in a single row normally terminating a pore's length 

 from bases of apical setae, posterior pores 12 /* long and 8 wide, the others 12-13 /* 

 long and 8-9 wide, usually around a pore's length apart ; disk pores dorsad of 

 8-shaped pores and much less numerous than those, terminating near the penulti- 

 mate pair of 8-shaped pores. 



Dorsal surface : 8-shaped pores scattered, those near posterior end 9 fi long and 

 5 wide, most of the remainder 12 ll long and 8 wide ; minute 8-shaped pores absent ; 

 disk pores numerous ; tubular ducts 36 n long. 



Ventral surface : Antenna short, with 2 setae as long as diameter of antenna ; 

 beak with 3 pairs of setae ; spiracular bar expanded at inner end ; 40-76 quinque- 

 locular pores extending from spiracle to body margin in a row 3 or 4 pores wide 

 at the center and 8 or 10 pores wide near opening and near body margin ; multi- 

 locular pores, with 10 loculi, in 4 complete rows, posterior row with 11 or 12 

 pores, each of next 2 with 9-12, and anterior row with 7-9, or a total of 36-43 ; 

 an indefinite group of 8 or 10 (possibly more) dark-rimmed 8-shaped pores each 

 side of beak, some scattered anterior to mouth parts, and others arranged in 3 

 wide, and 1 narrow, transverse row on abdomen ; submarginal 8-shaped pores 

 well removed from margin, in an irregularly double row terminating near anterior 

 row of multilocular pores, 1 or 2 opposite each or every other marginal 8-shaped 

 pore ; submarginal setae in a complete row terminating nearly directly anterior to 

 the posterior pair of marginal 8-shaped pores, 4 or 5 setae in posterior row of 

 multilocular pores, 2 in each of other rows, and 2 before the anterior row. 



Apex of abdomen: Setae, apical 36-40 ll long, interapical (anterior to and in- 

 side or outside apical seta, lacking on 1 side in 2 specimens examined) 6 ll long, 

 outer ventral (present on 1 side in 2 specimens examined) 6 ll long ; anal opening 

 ventral, well removed from body margin, circular, its margin sclerotized, with 1 or 

 2 setae 2 ll long, without any indication of setae, or with a suggestion of 2 setal 

 bases. 



Data. — Described from the following material: Unmounted speci- 

 mens and two mounted females from Quercus ilex, Cannes, France, 

 determined as quercicola by Low, loaned by M. Beier, holotype and 

 paratypes; empty tests, two mounted females, and fragments of an- 

 other mounted female from Quercus lanuginosa, Corfu, Greece, C. 

 Baenitz, May 30, 1896, U.S.KH., paratypes.
