22. PSEUDOCOCCUS MALLYI sp. n. 
Ovisac : No definite ovisac was seen, but adult $ $ and young were 
clustered in a white powdery secretion in the leaf-sheaths. 
Adult 2 : The adult is bright rose-pink, in colour, some specimens 
being uniformly covered with white powder. There were no traces of 
filaments of any kind. Legs and antennae colourless. 
The insect is exceptionally long and narrow, mounted specimens 
averaging 2-16 mm. long by 0*75 mm. broad. The elongate appearance 
reminds one very much of a Bhizoecus. 
The antennae are normally 8-segmented, with joints 3, 4, 5, and 6 
very short. In one case joints 4 and 5 were fused. The range of varia- 
tion in the antennal measurements from 14 specimens is as follows : — 
(1) 27-34 ; (2) 27-35 ; (3) 12-17 ; (4) 9-13 ; (5) 12-18 ; (6) 12-15 ; (7) 
16-22; (8) 68-75.
