Though having a stout base, all these seem to terminate in hairs and are not true spines. Anal appendages moderate in length, very rugose, with blunt spines along the sides, broad, the base opening out above, twisted and often turned over each other at the tips. I have examined a large amount of material, and think this is'a well-defined species distinct from A. karschi, to which it is allied. 131a. Apiomorpha karschi fletcheri. Cat. Coccidfe, p. 42. Apiomorpha jloralis, Froggatt Fig. 81 . Brichjicdis /Ivjlis, Proc. Linn. Soc. , pi. viii, fig. 8, p . ix, figs. 9-10. 1898. The type specimens came from Central Australia on an undetermined species of eucalypt. Female gall springing from a cluster of flower buds and growing alone like A. ovirola, which they resemble in general form; others grow from the side of the branchlets. Broadly rounded at the base, oval, tapering to the apex, cone-shaped and truncated, but thick- ened on the edge, forming a rim round the small ci cular apical orifice, which is in a slight depression. Height, \\ inches; diameter, | inch. Adidt coccid pale yellow, broadly turbinate, abdominal segments taper- ing, segmental divisions distinct; dorsal sur- face covered with fine short reddish spines, forming a broad parallel band from the cephalic segment to the anal appendages, scattered on the abdominal segments, fringed on the sides with fine hairs, and the spines thickest on the edge of the two last segments; anal appendages short, stout, close together, forming a blunt tip, with two short spines on either side. On the ventral surface a prominent but aborted mouth forming a raised tubercle. Legs large, stout; claws black. Length of coccid, 1 i
