: Los Bafios, Philippine Is. (C. F. Baker); collected on Carica papaya, 
Dioscorea alata, Aleurites moluccana, Mangifera indica and Codieum. 
(Baker 885, 1160, 2180, 2371, 2372.) 
Hemichionaspis aspidistre (Signoret). 
Professor Baker writes that his 1751, recorded as from Smilaz, was really 
on Lrythropalum scandens. He also writes that Protopulvinaria longivalvata 
bakert was on Voacanga globosa (Apocynaces), and Pinnaspis buat was on 
Homalomena (not Aglaonema) philippinensis.. Also, Paralecanium luzonicum 
was on Plectronia (not Alectronia) viridis. 
Aspidiotus ehrhorni Coleman. (Fig. 10.) 
Described from California, on Abies and Libocedrus. Mr. L. C. Bragg 
found it among lichens on the bark of Pseudotsuga mucronata at Boulder, 
Colorado. Our material seemed to differ a little from Coleman’s descrip- 
tion, but it agrees with cotype specimens. We give a new figure, showing 
variations. 
Chrysomphalus pedroniformis n. sp. (Fig. 8.) 
Female scale circular or oval, about 1.75 mm. diameter, slightly convex, dull 
pale reddish-brown with the margin whitish; exuvic large, nearly central to sub- 
lateral, usually darker than the rest of the scale, with the first skin appearing as a 
shining, more or less golden boss. 
Adult female bright yellow when boiled in KHO, almost circular, at period of 
gestation with pygidium partly contracted within the body; segmentation distinct; 
pygidium with three pairs of well developed lobes; median and second lobes with a 
single notch on each side, or second lobes may be without the inner notch; third lobe 
with a single notch on outer side; two fringed plates between the widely separated 
median lobes, and two fringed plates between the first and second, and second and 
third, these conspicuous and well developed; beyond the third lobe three plates with 
long acute terminations, and just beyond these a slight angular projection of the 
margin; a short spine laterad of each lobe; club shaped organs at bases of lobes very 
small; circumgenital glands with anterior lateral groups each of 5 to 8 orifices, 
posterior lateral of 3 to 5; dorsal pores in two rows on each side, 8 to 12 pores in each 
row; also a small central group of dorsal pores near the anal opening. Immature 
female somewhat smaller, with only the median lobes well developed. 
Male scale elongate-oval, pale, with darker exuvia. 
Hab.— On bark of small branches of Vitis vinifera, Los Bafios, Philippine Is., 
March 16, 1914 (C. F. Baker 2374). 
Very close to Chrysomphalus pedronis (Green) from Ceylon, but the 
median lobes are differently shaped, with the part beyond the notches much
