Not illustrated. 1917 Excerpt: ... are transparent, whereas the pores are not. They are much nearer the margin than is usual, being on the same line as the submarginal row of pores, or even nearer the margin (pl. 53, fig. 5). The dorsum, mesad of the submarginal ring of pores, is without checkered markings. Vasiform orifice (pl. 53, fig. 7) of about equal width and length, the operculum filling a little more than half of it. Caudad of the orifice near the margin of the case there is a pair of thick spines close together, and the usual pair is present latero-cephalad of the orifice. On the leaf the cases are shining black. There is no dorsal waxy secretion, but there is an irregular white waxy marginal fringe. In some specimens this mass fuses into a yellow, semitransparent wax, terminating on the periphery in numerous squarish teeth. Adult female.--The females present are fragmentary and it is impossible to give from them a complete description. Color yellowish, with yellowish or dusky shadings. Eyes dark brown. Forewings with dusky brown markings as shown in figure 6, plate 53. Length of forewing 0.88 mm.; hind wing uniform dusky. The markings of the forewing of this species are very similar to those of oculireniformis. Adult male.--Unknown. Described from pupa cases and females in balsam mounts and pupa cases dry upon the foliage. Type.--Cat. No. 19199, U.S.N.M. ALEUROPLATUS (ALEUROPLATUS) OCULIRENIFORMIS, new species. Plate 55, figs. 1-10. One lot only of this species is in the bureau collection. It was taken by F. Rocha at Ceara, Brazil, in January, 1906, on Passifiora. Two other species are very closely related to the present one, namely vinsonioides Cockerell and oculiminutus. The separation of these species is made on the pupa case, as adults of vinsonioides in the collection are fra...
