61. Dactylopius calceolariæ, Maskell. N.Z. Trans., Vol. XI., 1878, p. 218; Vol. XVI., 1883, p. 138. (Plate XVII., Fig. 2.) Adult female dull-pink in colour, elongated, distinctly segmented, slightly convex; active; covered with thin mealy secretion; length variable, from 1/8in. to 1/4in. Very short cottony appendages sometimes along the edge of the body. Anal tubercles inconspicuous, bearing fine hairs, from which spring two long cottony filaments. Anogenital ring large, with six long hairs which are often glued together by white cotton, forming a pencil between the anal tubercles. Interior substance very oily. Antennæ of eight joints, each bearing hairs. Mentum triarticulate, with a few hairs at the tip. Feet normal. Female of second stage similar, but smaller. Antennæ of six joints. Anal tubercles somewhat more conspicuous than in the adult. Adult male unknown. Habitat--On _Calceolaria_, Christchurch; _Danthonia_, Stewart Island; _Phormium tenax_, Christchurch. The large size, and the absence of long cottony marginal appendages, distinguish this species from the European _D. adonidum_. 62. Dactylopius glaucus, Maskell. N.Z. Trans., Vol. XI., 1878, p. 219; Vol. XVII., 1884, p. 30. (Plate XVII., Fig. 3.) Adult female green, sometimes brownish-red, elongated, distinctly segmented, slightly convex; active; covered with thin mealy secretion. Length, averaging 1/14in. Body oval, tapering somewhat to the posterior extremity. Anal tubercles inconspicuous, each bearing fine hairs and a long cottony filament. Anogenital ring large, with six hairs often forming with cotton a protruding pencil. A few cottony appendages sometimes round the edge of the body, often absent. Antennæ of eight joints, each bearing hairs. Feet normal; lower digitules rather broad. Sac of male pupa narrow, cylindrical, white, cottony, open at the posterior end. Length, about 1/8in. Adult male about 1/20in. long; brown, covered when newly hatched with white meal. Body rather thick; abdominal spike short. Antennæ of ten joints, hairy; the last eight joints equal to each other. Feet slender, hairy; upper digitules long, fine; lower digitules short. Habitat--On _Panax_, _Rubus_, _Coprosma_, _Pittosporum_, _Piper excelsum_, &c.; throughout the Islands: also frequently on fruit-trees. A species more nearly resembling the ordinary "mealy bug," _D. adonidum_, than any other in New Zealand; but differing in colour, in the absence of long marginal appendages, and in the form of the foot and antennæ. 63.
