Test of female of second stage very thin, white, waxy, flat, divided into segments with concentric curves and radiating lines as in the adult. Fringe of broad segments. No air-cells. Length, about 1/15in. Test of male glassy, white, elongated, slightly convex, divided into segments similarly marked to those of the female. Abdominal segments separated from the test by a transverse line, or hinge. Length, about 1/6in. Adult female bright-green in colour, thick, elongated or pyriform, the cephalic portion somewhat acuminate; length sometimes reaching 1/2in. It produces a conspicuous depression in the leaf, in which the body is partially buried. Antennæ of six joints (apparently seven, but the third joint shows the false division or depressed ring), often atrophied. Feet normal, coxæ and femora thick. After gestation the insect frequently becomes brown, covered with a mass of white mealy or felted secretion. Female of the second stage thin, filmy, translucent; flat, elongated, with wavy outline; colour green; length, about 1/20in. Antennæ of six joints. Adult male greenish-yellow; length, about 1/15in. Antennæ of nine joints. Feet normal; digitules absent. A strong spine at the extremity of the tibia. Habitat--On _Panax arboreum_, _Coprosma lucida_, _Hedycarya dentata_, _Atherosperma Novæ-Zælandiæ_, _Rubus australis_; Canterbury, Otago, Wellington, Nelson, Auckland, Hawke's Bay. This is probably the largest known species of the Lecanidinæ. Its size and bright-green colour in the adult state clearly distinguish it. The female of the second stage resembles nearly that of _Ct. perforatus_, but is somewhat thicker, and the markings of the segments of the test are different. Genus: INGLISIA, Maskell. N.Z. Trans., Vol. XI., 1878, p. 213. Test of female glassy, elevated, striated with radiating rows of air-cells. Fringe not always present in the adult stage. In the genus _Fairmairia_, Signoret, there is also an elevated test, but it is waxy, and exhibits no air-cells, and has no fringe in any stage. 40. Inglisia leptospermi, Maskell. N.Z. Trans., Vol. XIV., 1881, p. 220; Vol. XVII., 1884, p. 27. (Plate IX., Fig. 2.) Test of adult female white, glassy or waxy, elongated, convex above, flat and open beneath, formed of several agglutinated segments, each segment more or less convex or conical, median segments usually five in number; at the edge an irregular fringe, but the fringe is often absent. Average length of test, 1/10in. The marginal segments sometimes assume the form of small cones, as if a number of secondary tests were attached to the principal one. All the segments are marked with striæ radiating from the apex of each: the striæ, which are composed of air-cells, widen from the apex to the base.
