paired and simple pores (6), both of which are unusually large. In places, 
particularly on the frontal area, the series tends to be irregularly double. 
There are no supplementary paired pores on the dorsum. The two halves 
of each pair are oblate and closely applied to each other, without any 
interval. Both paired and simple pores have thickened rims. Anal ring 
(c) broad and densely chitinous, closely studded with small circular pores, 
and bearing six stout setse. Length 2 mm. 
On young branches of Calopliylhmi icalkeri : Pattipola. The yellow tests 
resemble small congealed drops of gamboge gum. 
Asterolecanium loranthi, n. sp. (Fig. <58.) 
Fits. 38 — Asterolecanium loranthi. (a) Marginal pores, X 450. (a) Poste- 
rior extremity of adult X 450. (c) Adult 9> ventral aspect 
X 30. 
Test of adult female very pale stramineous, translucent, broadly Ovate. 
Fringe bright orange-red ; well developed, uninterrupted except at the 
actual posterior extremity. Dorsum with a few, scattered erect filaments. 
Length approximately 1‘5 mm. 
Adult female insect (c) olivaceous brown ; broadly ovate, bluntly pointed 
behind. There is a complete marginal series of rather small paired pores 
(a), with a close series of minute simple pores, extending almost to the 
posterior extremity. Similar paired pores, of the same size, are distri- 
buted sparsely over the dorsum of the thorax in small, ill-defined groups, 
arranged — more or less — in longitudinal series of which the median series 
is the more distinct. Posterior extremity (6) indistinctly lobed ; rather 
strongly chitinized, but without any sharply defined dorsal plates. Caudal 
sette stout and moderately long; four shorter setae between the caudal 
pair. Length slightly exceeding 1 mm. 
Described from a single example, on a young branch of Loranthus neel- 
gherrensis: Hakgala. Somewhat resembling flavocilliatuin, from which it 
differs in the characters of the anal segment. 
Asterolecanium pseudomiliaris. n. sp. (Fig. 39.) 
Test of adult female (d) closely resembling that of miliaris ; but more 
delicate in texture and more irregular in outline. Very pale yellow, 
translucent ; early adult examples with a median reddish line. Posterior 
extremity narrowed and tapering to a blunt point; with a low, rounded.
