. A descriptive catalogue of the scale insects ("Coccidae") of Australia. Insects -- Australia; Scale insects. SCALE INSECTS (" COCCID^ ") OF AUSTRALIA. 103 Dactijlopius lobulatus, Maskell (Fig. 71). Trans. N. Zealand Institute, vol. xxv, p. 91, pi. vi, figs. 1-3. 1893. The adult females are found under the scales of dry bark peeling off tli(! trunks of several species of the white gums {Eucalypts). The type specimens were found upon the stems of blue gums {E. globulus) growing in the streets of Bendigo, Victoria. They were very plentiful at Uralla, New South Wales, in July, on white gums, and apparently have a wide range in the eastern States. Sometimes they are found on the stems of small saplings covered over and protected by ants. Adult female yellowish brown with the dorsal surface completely covered with white woolly secretion, forming distinct transverse bands (marking the segmentation); nar- rowest on the abdomen, produced into an unbroken marginal fringe right round the insect, irregular in front, regular on the sides, and upon the anal segment forming longer blunt tails. Including the tails, often measuring up to ^ of an inch in length. General form, elongate broadly oval, slightly convex above, with the segmentation well defined; anal segment somewhat truncated with four lobes; anal ring with six hairs. Epidermis with many small circular spinnerets. and fine spines, most numerous on the margins. Antennae composed of eight joints, first one stout and thickened; feet long; femora stout; trochanter bearing one long hair. Maskell gives the size as much smaller than that of the large series of adult specimens I have had under observation. He says : " This insect belongs to the series of D. adonidum and may be distinguished from that species and from D. affinis chiefly by the proportion of the antennal joints, and by the anal ; 489.
