tinguish it. The female of the second stage resembles nearly 
that of Ct. perforatus, but is somewhat thicker, and the mark- 
‘ings of the segments of the test are different. 
Genus: INGLISIA, Maskell. 
N.Z. Trans., Vol. X1., 1878, p. 2138. 
Test of female glassy, elevated, striated with radiating rows 
of air-cells. Fringe not always present in the adult stage. 
In the genus Fairmairia, Signoret, there is also an elevated 
test, but it is waxy, and exhibits no air-cells, and has no fringe 
in any stage.

(Plate IX., Fig 2.) 
Test of adult female white, glassy or waxy, elongated, convex 
above, flat and open beneath, formed of several agglutinated 
segments, each segment more or less convex or conical, median 
segments usually five in number; at the edge an irregular 
fringe, but the fringe is often absent. Average length of test, 
joi. The marginal segments sometimes assume the form of 
small cones, as if a number of secondary tests were attached to 
the principal one. All the segments are marked with strive 
radiating from the apex of each: the striz, which are composed 
of air-cells, widen from the apex to the base. 
Test of the male white, glassy, elongated, convex, not 
unlike that of the female, but with a longer fringe; it has also 
its posterior segment divided from the rest by a transverse slit 
or hinge ; average length, about 3/;in. 
Adult female filling the test, shrivelling at gestation ; colour 
brown; abdominal lobes yellow, conspicuous. The flat under- 
surface is smooth; the dorsum divided by large corrugations, 
each segment corresponding to one in the test. Antenne of 
seven joints, of which the third is the longest, the fourth, fifth, 
and sixth the shortest ; a few hairs, especially on the last joint. 
Fect normal; the tibia is somewhat thin, and has one spine or 
hair at its tip. Digitules normal; upper pair long knobbed 
hairs, lower pair very broad.
