spine, as when one is turned on edge, when viewed from above, 
or is foreshortened through curving up or down. Unfortunately 
all of the gross material examined is in very poor condition, so 
it is not possible to learn anything of the normal appearance of 
the adult female after the secretion of the ovisac, nor to obtain 
any very good mounted specimens. The lots of material included 
here are as follows : 
Luzon, Manila, on various plants (coll. Compere), on Anti - 
gonon leptopus (coll. Banks 1^375) : Batangas Province, Batan- 
gas, on “Cadena de amor” (coll. C. H. T. Townsend ) (type 
material) : Rizal Province, San Pedro Makati, on Lantana camara 
(coll. McGregor) . The type slide includes only three badly par- 
asitized and mutilated specimens, and all of the material studied 
shows a decided degree of parasitism.

A comparison of the type 
specimens of the subspecies 
listed above with the type 'spec- 
imens of Maskell’s Pulvinaria 
psidii fails to disclose any char- 
acters by which I am able to 
differentiate the two. All of 
the specimens of the subspecies 
that have been examined unfor- 
tunatately have the antennse 
broken off, but no other char- 
acters which would separate it 
from the typical material have 
been found, and in view of the 
well-known lack of constancy in the number of antennal seg- 
ments in this and other groups of coccids, this material does 
not seem worthy of subspecific rank on the basis of this one 
character. 
The following records may be added to those previously pub- 
lished : 
Luzon, Manila, on Eugenia jambolana (10210) and on un- 
known host (10212) (Banks), on unknown host (Frank 
Dean) : Bulacan Province, on guava (McGregor) : Laguna Prov- 
ince, Los Banos,, on Psidium guajava (coll. J. de Leon, Banks 
13U52 ) .
