segment. Spines on first abdominal segment 
long, reaching to orifice. Caudal spines as long 
as anterior cephalic spines. 
Second instar (Fig. 18c): Length 0.39 mm., 
width 0.21 mm. Colour pale. Shape elongate- 
elliptical, slightly tapering posteriorly. Margin 
crenulate. Inner row of teeth faint or absent. 
Submarginal line present. Caudal setae and first 
abdominal setae present. 
Third instar (Fig. 18 b) : Length 0.70 mm., 
width 0.52 mm. Colour light brown, submargin 
darker. Shape elongate-elliptical, distinctly ta- 
pering posteriorly. Margin with 2 rows of teeth. 
Transverse moulting suture not evident. Proc- 
esses on first abdominal segment thick and long. 
No sculpturing evident on abdominal segments. 
PUPAL CASE (Fig. 18 d-f): Length 1.1 mm., 
width 0.72 mm. Colour black. Shape elliptical, 
convex. Margin toothed with 2 rows of teeth. 
Outer row longer than wide, rounded apically, 
dark brown or black. Submargin wide, sharply 
defined by groove which contours the margin 
completely. On submargin mesad of inner teeth 
are small circular dots behind alternate teeth. 
Anterior and posterior marginal setae present, 
short. Submargin in cephalothoracic region with 
4 larger pores on each side abdomen with 2 
such pores on each side posteriorly at mid-length. 
Cephalic region with subcircular eye spots and 
1 pair short paramedian setae. Pores on ce- 
phalothorax as in figure, many paired, especially 
laterad. Thoracic tracheal folds, pores, and combs 
absent. Abdomen, first segment with 1 pair of 
short paramedian setae and with toothed sculp- 
turing (Fig. I8e) anterior to base of each seta. 
Segments 2-7 with similar sculpturing and with 
paramedian pores. Paired pores laterad on disc 
and adjoining submarginal line. Eighth segment 
with seta bases distant from and anterior to 
orifice. Vasiform orifice (Fig. 18/) subcordate, 
not toothed, slightly raised. Operculum sub- 
cordate, filling orifice. Lingula not discernible. 
Caudal setae on submargin, long, projecting be- 
yond margin, bases as wide as orifice. Abdominal 
tracheal fold, pore, comb, and anal furrow absent. 
HOLOTYPE: Pupal case on slide mount. De- 
posited in Institut Frangais d’Oceanie, Noumea, 
New Caledonia. 
PARATYPES: In author’s collection. 
TYPE LOCALITY: New Caledonia, Dothio, coll. 
F. Cohic. 
FOOD PLANT: Undetermined (? Eugenia). 
This species would run to Hempelia Sampson 
& Drews in Sampson’s key but is unlike that 
genus. In facies it is a T etraleurodes with 2 rows 
of marginal teeth, or an Aleurotrachelus with 
a submarginal groove.
