The Coccidae of South Africa. 
153 
8 hairs, 6 in the chitinous ring and 2 posterior to this where the ring 
is incomplete (Fig. 4:ld). The anal lobes are rounded outwardly instead 
of posteriorly, and bear one long, stout seta, several shorter, more slender 
setae, and two stout conical spines. The large setae of the caudal lobes 
were in every case broken, but are at least 220 fi long, probably much 
longer. The smaller setae reach 136 fi in length. 
The setae of the anal ring are about 110 ji long. 
Habitat : On a native shrub {Tamarix articulata YahL). Collected by 
C. P. Lounsbury and C. Fuller, near Cape Town, January, 1898. 
Eemarks : This insect is tentatively included in the genus Puto of 
Signoret because of the Q-jointed antennae and the eight hairs on the 
anal ring. 
Collection No. : B 70. 
Subfamily OKTHEZIINAE. 
This subfamily contains comparatively few individuals which all 
possess a very characteristic appearance owing to the waxy plates or 
lamellae which adorn the bodies of the female. The males, where known, 
are also distinguished readily by the possession of compound eyes, and a 
tuft of long filaments which terminates the abdomen.
