Cruz, Mexico, and one of us (Cockerell) had sent the description for pub- 
lication, when he received the same insect from Mauritius, along with a 
paper in which it had been described by Mr. d’Emmerez de Charmoy. It 
is now certain that the species belongs to the Old World tropics, and had 
been introduced in Mexico. 
We have now to describe a distinct new species from the Philippine 
Islands. 
Pseudaonidia obsita n. sp. (Fig. 1.) 
Female scale circular, slightly convex, about 2.5 mm. diameter, appearing 
brownish-black, but actually light brownish-pink (as in P. trilobitiformis), with a 
thick covering due to a fungous growth; exuvize yellowish-fulvous, sublateral; 
ventral film thick, white. Occasionally the scales are white. 
Adult female somewhat oval, but produced posteriorly; length about 1.75 mm.; 
dark brown, integument thick, segments distinctly marked; dorsal pores in rows, 
minute, not very numerous; circumgenital glands with anterior lateral groups of 
27 to 29 orifices, and posterior lateral with 33; abdomen with a large reticulated 
area; pygidial margin with three pairs of well-formed lobes, and a fourth rudimentary; 
median pair dark, relatively short and broad, obscurely notched on each side; second 
and third pairs pale, narrow, elongate, with a notch on the outer side; fourth lobes 
indicated by a prominent subangular projection just beyond the last of the bidentate 
squames; squames in interlobular intervals strongly bidentate, with an occasional 
small tooth at side; a spine laterad of second and third lobes. 
Male scale broad-oval, about 1.5 mm. long, dull brown-pink, with the pale orange 
first skin near one end. 
Larva pink, with the caudal end yellowish. 
Hab.— Los Bafios, Philippine Is., abundant on the under sides of leaves of Ficus 
caudatifolia, collected by C. F. Baker (2376). 
Related to P. batkee (Aspidiotus baikea Newstead, Bull. Entom. Re- 
search, iv, p. 308, Feb., 1914), from Uganda, but in that species the scale is 
white or yellowish-white, there are no circumgenital glands, and the lobes 
and squames are somewhat differently formed. In Marlatt’s table it runs 
to the vicinity of P. curculiginis (Green), which has the fourth lobes highly 
developed, resembling the median ones in form, and lacks the tessellated 
pygidial patch. According to Green, P. curculiginis has the circumgenital 
glands in groups of about 12 each; Marlatt’s account is different, but. 
neither agree with our species. Compared with P. trilobitiformis (Green), 
the new species differs in the form of the lobes, and the squames are much 
narrower. 
We figure the caudal ends of several species of Pseudaonidia (figs. 2-5), 
to show the strikingly different types. It might be supposed that P. tesse- 
rata, with its low broad lobes, could not be congeneric with P. obsita, but 
P. clavigera is more or less intermediate, as shown by the forked squames
