98 ROBERT NEWSTEAD—OBSERVATIONS ON 
Ceroplastes sp. 
Male puparia only ; possibly those of C. guadrilineatus, but as there were no 
females associated with them it is impossible to be definite on this point.

Ceroplastodes gowdeyi, sp. n. 
Test of Female (fig. 11, a).-- Opaque white, glassy ; distinctly divided into 
relatively large, polygonal plates giving the test a coarsely reticulated appearance ; 
form varying from short ovate to elongate ovate ; dorsum flat; marginal series 
of plates sloping downwards; anterior third of ventral surface enclosed with 
similar plates to those forming the upper surface of the test, but apparently 
these are not continued beyond the area occupied by the female. The ventral 
surface of the dorsal plates is covered with densely felted wax. Length, 
averaging 4°50 mm.
