92 ROBERT NEWSTEAD—OBSERVATIONS ON 
Parlatoria (Websteriella) ? blanchardi, Targ. 
On Mis-mish (Apricot) ; Ghezireh, 2. LX. 1910 (fF. C. Willcocks), 
The examples are not quite typical either in the form of the female puparia or 
in the character of the fringe of the pygidium. It may be necessary, therefore, 
at some future date to make it a variety of the above-named species; but it is 
advisable to examine a longer series of P. blanchardi, from various food-plants, 
before taking this step. 
Lecanium (Saissetia) nigrum, Neitner. 
On Ficus sp.; Uganda Protectorate (C. C. Gowdey). No other data given. 
The leaves to which these insects were attached were also tenanted by the 
very interesting Coccid herein described as Ceroplastodes gowdey?, sp. n. 
The examples are unusually pale, and the median ridge well defined ; but I do 
not find that they differ morphologically from typical examples of L. nigrum. 
Lecanium elongatum, Signoret (= L. longulwm, Douglas). 
On Albizzia sp. ?; Entebbe, Uganda, 6. X. 1910 (C. C. Gowdey). 
Lecanium tenuivalvatum, sp. n. 
Female, adult——Narrowly elliptical and slightly produced in front ; highly 
convex ; margin narrowly flattened in front and at the sides, broadly so pos- 
teriorly ; dorsum smooth and shining; sides distinctly wrinkled. Colour of 
parasitised examples black, with pale margin; non-parasitised examples pale 
ochreous buff. Antennae short (fig 7, a, 0) of 6 or 7 segments. Legs short ;
