Page 290 - Scale of Female,. — The scale of the female is circular, with the exuviae nearly central; the position of the first skin is indicated by a nipple-like prominence, which, in fresh specimens, is white, and is the remains of a mass of cottony excretion, beneath which the first skin is shed. The part of the scale covering the second skin is light...
Page 288 - The plates are all deeply fringed; those between the first pair of lobes on their distal margins, the others on their lateral margins. They are all well developed, exceeding the lobes in length, and are situated as follows: Two between the first pair of lobes, two between the first and second lobes of each side, two between the second and third lobes, and three between the third lobe and the lobe of the margin of the body.

The lobes are quite small; the first and second of each side are abruptly narrowed near the distal extremity: the third lobe is notched once or twice. About one-third of the distance from the third lobe to the penultimate segment is a lobe of the lateral margin of the body of about the size of the third lobe. The plates are short and irregular: there are two with distal extremities fringed between the...

The spines are long and conspicuous; those on the dorsal surface are situated as follows : one on each side at the base of the lateral margin of median lobe, one laterad of each of the second and third lobes, and a fourth one near the center of the anterior group of plates. Those on the ventral surface are as follows: a short...
Page 304 - Costa. This genus includes species of Diaspinae in which the scale of the female is more or less rounded, with the exuviae at the center or upon the side; and the scale of the male long, white, carmated, and with the larval skin at one extremity.

The duration of the pupa state in those species which we have bred is short, lasting but a few days; and then after a third casting of the skin the adult male appears. The outline figures on Plates XXI and XXII represent the insect in this stage.

On the ventral surface the spines are smaller; first and second are obsolete, the third and fourth are laterad of the second and third incisions; and the fifth between the fourth and fifth plates. Scale of male.— The male scales are of an elongated oval form and much flattened, especially the posterior half; a feeble carina extends along the middle, but the sides are not carinated ; the larval skin is of a light...
Page 298 - Scale of female. — The scale of the female is circular and flat, with the exuviae central, or nearly so. The scale is gray, excepting the central part, that which covers the exuviae, which varies from a pale yellow to a reddish yellow; sometimes the central part is black, resembling the scale of the male, and in some specimens the outer part of the scale is marked by radiating ridges.
