10 ROBERT NEWSTEAD. longest varying between one-third and one-half the length of the antenna. Pores- circular and very numerous; these are of two sizes : the larger (fig. 5, a) being; twice the diameter of the others. Antennae (fig. 5, b) of eleven segments; terminal segment much the longest but scarcely wider than the preceding one.

Pig. 5. leery a svlfurea var. pattersoni, Newst., nov., $; a, pore ; b, antenna ; e, leg Legs (fig. 5, c) long; femur very short; claw faintly bidentate, digitules simple hairs; underside of tibia very hairy. Eyes truncate. Stigmata large, slightly longer than the tarsus. Gold Coast : Aburi, on Tectona sp. (W. H. Patterson). The form and arrangement of the waxen appendages are very like those in I eery a aegyptiaca, Doug., but the bright pale yellow colour is distinctive and the structural details differ. Margarodes buxtoni, sp. nov. Female, adult. Form rather elongated and very tumid. Derm almost completely covered with a layer of white, mealy secretion. Colour in alcohol, dull brownish- crimson. After maceration in KOH the body assumes a broadly ovate form (fig. 6, a). Derm, on both surfaces, finely but markedly pubescent, the individual hairs relatively long and exceedingly slender. Pores (fig. 6, /) circular, with a central opening and numerous minute ones surrounding it; these organs are almost as numerous as the hairs, more especially so on the terminal segments of the abdomen. Antennae (fig. 6, b) short, stout, and widest proximally, composed of eight segments, each (with the exception of the last) with a well-defined chitinou& band; distal segment with several minute stout spines, and two groups of long fine slender hairs; the remaining segments are apparently nude, but of this one cannot be quite certain, as the innumerable hairs on the surrounding integument are lying superimposed over a great portion of the antennal segments. Anterior leg (fig. 6, c) large, stout, and more than twice the size of the other limbs ; claw densely chitinised and distinctly articulated with the exceedingly short tarsal segment; tibio-tarsal articulation well defined, and immediately below this is a
