It is figured in the plate of lac-producmg coccids with the original description, and from a commercial point of view, might be of some value if cultivated in our ti-tree swamps. The female tests vary consider- ably, the typical ones like a leaf of dark reddish wax, the basal half dull with the upper portion a shin- ing round bead of bright red wax. In the Queensland specimens the wax is more confluent, forming Fig. 17. Tachurdia austraiis. luasses ill rings roiuul the twigs.
