pores, and to lack anal ring and apical setae. The absence of apical 

 setae is questionable because they are present in all other known 

 species, although they are sometimes very short. 



Asterolecanium tenuissimum Green 



Described from specimens collected on both surfaces of leaves of 

 bamboo from Uclagama and Yatiyantota, Ceylon, in 1909 ($?, p. 318). 

 The species appears to resemble penicillatwn, pseiidolanceolatum, and 

 solenophoroides, but it differs from them in having three instead of 

 four pairs of setae on the apex of the abdomen, and in having several 

 multilocular pores, instead of two quinquelocular pores, near the gen- 

 ital opening. 



Asterolecanium tumidum Green 



Described in 1909 ($?, p. 330), from specimens found on leaves of 

 bamboo, Udagama, Ceylon. The species appears to be rather similar 

 to exiguum and udagamae.
