row terminating near posterior pair of marginal 8-shaped pores ; 2 pairs of setae 

 in posterior row of multilocular pores and 1 pair in each of the next 2 rows. 



Apex of abdomen : Notch present ; lobes indicated ; setae, apical 77.4 /x long 

 (tips broken, probably not more than 80 //. if intact), interapical 16.2 ju, long, 

 dorsal 12.6 n long, inner ventral 10.8 n long, intermediate ventral 9 fi long, outer 

 ventral 10.8-12.6 fi long ; anal ring with 6 setae around 40 p long, but with the 

 number and arrangement of pores indeterminable, divided on dorsal and 

 ventral sides ; ventral surface of apex with an irregularly linear sclerotized area 

 extending anteriorly from intermediate ventral seta, surrounding area sclero- 

 tized and rugose. 



Larva. — Nearly elongate elliptical, posterior end narrowed. 



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

 the others, axes of the posterior 6 pairs transverse, of the others longitudinal ; 

 a minute seta close to each pore of the posterior 3 pairs ; 4 pairs of setae at 

 anterior end. 



Dorsal surface: 8-shaped pores in a submedian row of 9 or 10 and a lateral 

 tow of 13. on each half of body, 2-4 lateral pores inside a straight line and 

 suggesting an intermediate row, anterior pores slightly larger than posterior 

 pores and all a little smaller than marginal pores of same segments; disk pores 

 between lateral and marginal, and between lateral and submedian, 8-shaped 

 pores ; sometimes a pair of minute setae near anterior pair of submedian 

 8-shaped pores. 



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

 stout, 2 slender ; antennal bases one-fourth length of antenna apart ; beak setae, 

 2 pairs apical, 1 pair basal ; spiracle with 1 trilocular and 1 quinquelocular pore ; 

 leg setae, coxa 4, femur 1 on inner margin near base and 1 each on inner and 

 outer margins near center, tarsus 2 on inner and 1 on outer margin ; tibia one- 

 third as long as tarsus ; 9 pairs of submarginal 8-shaped pores ; sometimes 2 or 4 

 disk pores beside or posterior to the posterior 2 submarginal 8-shaped pores ; 10 

 pairs of submarginal minute setae, on abdomen and thorax, 3 pairs of sub- 

 marginal larger setae at anterior end ; 3 pairs of setae between antennae and 

 mouth parts. 



Apex of abdomen : Notch present ; lobes barely indicated ; setae, apical 63 m 

 long, interapical 7.2 \x long, dorsal 4.5 fi long, inner ventral 3.6-5.4 fi long, inter- 

 mediate ventral 2.5 m long, outer ventral 4 p long; anal ring with 6 setae 27 n 

 long and with an inner row of 6 and an outer row of 12 pores, tending toward 

 division on dorsal and ventral sides. 



Data, — Redescribed from specimens (2 females and 20 larvae, 

 mounted) on Thespesia populnm, Jaffna, Ceylon, from E. E. Green, 

 type. 



Very similar to brachylenae. 



Asterolecanium tokyonis Kuwana 



(Fig. 71, O-J; pi. 3, 7) 



Described by Kuwana (-55, pp. 149-150) in 1916 from Pasania 

 cuspidata, from Nishigahara and Tokyo, Japan. 



Ha oft. — Living on bark, in shallow pits. 



Test of female. — Longer than wide, with a shallow notch in posterior margin ; 

 2.5 mm. long, 2 wide ; nearly flat dorsally, slightly convex ventrally ; greenish 

 yellow, transparent; marginal filaments whitish, fragmentary; dorsal filaments 

 entirely rubbed off; elliptical larval exit in margin. 



Adult female. — Slightlv longer than wide, measuring 2 mm. in length and 

 1.75 in width. 



Margin : 8-shaped pores mostly in a double row but posterior 6 or 7 pores in 

 a single row, terminating around length of an apical seta from bases of setae, 

 9 fi long and 6 wide, one to three times (usually about twice) a pore's length 

 apart, the 2 rows about a pore's length apart ; quinquelocular pores in a single 

 row terminating with 2 pores posterior to the last 8-shaped pore, one and one-half 

 times as numerous as 8-shaped pores of nearer row. 



Dorsal surface : 8-shaped pores very numerous, about 5 \i long and 3 wide : 

 minute 8-shaped pores absent; disk pores numerous; tubular ducts 32 /x long.
