AFRICAN SCALE INSECTS (COCCID#). 99 
Female, old adult.—These were so. completely enveloped by the hyphe of a 
fungus as to render nearly all the structural details invisible. It was possible to 
ascertain, however, that the antenne are similar to, or almost identical with, those 
in the young adult ; the large dorsal pores are also present, though it is impossible 
to say if they are arranged in the same way ; the marginal spines are identical ; 
but the digitules of the anterior tarsi (fig. 12, a) are more distinctly dilated, and 
those of the claw are slightly less spathuliform. 
Fig. 12.—Ceroplastodes gowdeyi, Newst. ; a, young adult female ; 0, tarsus of old adult female ; 
ce, antenna; d, tarsus; e, derm: f, one of the paired circular glands, ventral aspect ; g, the 
same in profile ; h, stigmatic cleft. 
Female, young adult (fig. 12, 6)—Ovoid. Anal cleft well defined ; lobes longer 
than broad; setiferous ring with ten hairs. Antenne (fig. 12, ¢) of eight 
segments ; the sixth and seventh each with a single slender spine, the eighth with 
4-5; there is a very long hair arising from near the base of the third and 
another from near the apex of the fifth. Legs well developed ; ungues (fig. 12, @) 
very short and suddenly pointed ; digitules broadly spathuliform ; tarsal digitules 
very long and stout, but the apex is only slightly dilated. Stigmatic clefts 
(fig. 12, h) very deep and narrow; the two lateral spines long, stout and bluntly 
pointed ; marginal spines short, simple. Derm (fig. 12, ¢) with small ovate pores, 
widely separated and faintly indicated. ‘here are four pairs of circular glands 
(fig. 12, f, g), the first placed near the anterior margin ; the second near the base 
of the antenne; the third near the insertion of the second pair of legs; the 
fourth near the posterior margin, one on either side of the anal cleft,
