lO^^JOVllNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL RIST. SOCIETY, Voi. XXVIII. 
Margin, between the flabellae, very obscurely creuulate. Derm of dorsum 
with definite series of minute pores, (associated with small setrn) demarking 
the areas occupied by the waxy plates. Submarginal area crowded with 
irregularly rounded dermal cells (/>). A curved series of from four to five 
small groups of translucent vacuoles extends forwards from each side of 
the anal orifice. Length 4 to 4'o mm. Breadth across abdomen 2'75 
to 3 mm. 
On Calophilhim walkeri. Namunakuli Hill, Badulla. 
Lecanium piperis var. namunakuli, n. var. 
DiS'ering from the type in having 6-jointed antennae, two of the seg- 
ments being suppressed to form a single, long third joint. The stigmatic 
spines are in groups of 3 (instead of 4 or 3). Length 4 to 4‘0 mm. 
On I’iper s\). Namunakuli Hill, Badulla. 
Lecanium tessellatum var. obsoletum, n. var. 
Difi’ering from the type in the almost complete suppression of the tessel- 
lation, only the merest traces of which are distinguishable, and that only 
in the more heavily chitinized examples. It is very much smaller and less 
robust than typical tessellattwi. The anal operculum is slightly smaller. 
The stigmatic clefts are deeper and more sharply incised. Colour pale 
fulvous ; translucent. Length of largest example l'7o mm.

Lecanium (Baralecanium) trifasciatum, u. sp. (Big. 26.) 
Adult female (a) fiat, 
broadly rounded, sub- 
circular, the margin in- 
dented on the frontal 
and stigmatic areas. 
Colour pale translucent 
green, with three, broad, 
reddish brown, trans- 
verse bands across the 
dorsum. Antennae 6- 
jointed, the articula- 
tions indistinct. Limbs 
well developed ; tarsus 
longer than tibia. Anal 
operculum (6) longer 
than broad ; the basal 
slightly shorter than the 
outer margin ; the apices 
acutely pointed. There 
are two compact groups 
of pores on each side, 
on a level with the anal 
operculum. Stigmatic 
clefts (c) deep, their 
sides densely chitinous. 
Stigmatic spines three, 
cylindrical, blunt. A 
single row of pores 
extends from each cleft 
to its associated spiracle.
