the inner side, their outer margins coarsely serrate ; a pair of small, 
squamiform processes between the median and lateral lobes, and three 
similar but larger processes lieyond the lateral lobe ; marginal spines 
moderately long. Length of insect 0'5 mm. 
Pygidial margin of nymph with two pairs of stout, prominent lobes, each 
indented on the outer side. There is a conspicuous lunate pore between 
the median and lateral lobes, and two others, on each side, beyond the 
lateral lobes. 
On Mimusops hexandm. Trincomali. (Coll. T. B. Fletcher). The puparia 
are disposed along each side of the mid rib, on the under surface of 
the leaf. 
Lepidosaphes dilatilobis, n. sp. (Fig. 6.) 
Puparium of adult female 
flattish ; pale stramineous ; 
thin and translucent ; two 
opaque (often reddish) lines 
mark the position of a 
median ventral channel on 
each side of which the scale 
extends to a width of more 
than half that of the channel. 
Length l‘o mm. 
Puparium of male paler 
and of more regular outline ; 
posterior half depressed and 
slightly concave. Length 
\"2o mm. 
Adult female of normal 
form. Margins of abdominal 
segments markedly produced ; with many small pores, but without the usual 
spiniform squames. Pygidium bluntly conical ; median and lateral lobes 
dolabriform, (outwardly dilated, their bases extending inwards to a consi- 
derable distance. The lateral lobes are duplex, the outer lobule much 
smaller. The median and lateral lobes are separated by a single, stout, 
pore-bearing process. Circumgenital pores in five groups : median group 
with 2 pores, upper laterals with 3 or 4, lower laterals with 4 ; there is a 
considerable interval between the upper and lower lateral groups. Length 
O'o to 0‘75 mm. 
On undetermined shrub. Sigiriya and Ambalangoda. The scales are 
crowded, in irregular patches, on the undersurface of the leaves. Their 
presence is indicated by a purple-brown discoloration on the upper surface 
of the leaves. 
Pseudoparlatoria pusilla, n. sp. (Fig. 7.) 
Puparium of female irregularly circular, flat ; pale yellow ; thin and 
translucent. Diameter 1 mm. 
Adult female yellow ; ovate. Mouth parts large and conspicuous. 
Spiracles without parastigmatic pores. Circumgenital pores, in four groups, 
each containing from 8 to 9 pores. Anal orifice long ovate, at a distance 
from the margin of about twice its longer diameter. Median lobes trifo- 
liate, rather widely separate ; a single pair of duplex lateral lobes, the 
lobules simple ; a pair of stout spiniform squames in the space between 
the median lobes, and a similar but smaller squame immediately outside 
both the median and lateral lobes. Marginal dorsal pores elongate, com- 
P’lo. Lepidosaphes dilatilobis.
