Fig. 17. — Chionaspis linearis, {a) Puparium of adult X 30. 
(b) Nymphal pellicle, X 30. (c) Adult X 30. (d) Posterior 
extremity of larval pellicle, X 430. (e) Pygidium of 
adult $, X 430. 
Puparium of female (a) white, the exuviae pale stramineous; very long and 
narrow, filiform, posterioi extremity tapering to a point, secretionary 
appendix with a median longitudinal ridge. Length 2 mm. Breadth 
approximately 01 mm. Nymphal pellicle (b) elongate, narrow. Posterior 
margin very similar to that of the adult insect. Length 0'75 mm. Poste- 
rior extremity of larval pellicle (d) without lobes or processes. Length 
0‘6 mm. 
Adult female (c) long and slender ; pale yellow. Pygidium (e) pointed 
with a mesal pair of narrow hastate lobes, rather widely separate, and two 
lateral lobes, of the same form, on each side. The lateral lobes are 
approximate to each other, but are separated by a considerable interval 
from the mesal lobes. Spiniform squames very slender. Margin weakly 
cristate for a short distance beyond the outer lateral lobes. Anal orifice 
relatively large, situated near the base of the pygidium. Circumgenital 
pores in five groups ; mesal group 2 or 3, upper laterals 3, lower laterals 
4 or 3. Oval dorsal pores associated with short ducts ; numerous, scat- 
tered, not disposed in definite series. There is a single median pore 
between the mesal lobes. Length 1 mm. 
On the margins of the leaves of a small species of Bamboo ; Peradeniya. 
Allied to annanialei, from which species it difi'ers, principally, in the 
possession of circumgenital pores.
