Hemaspidoproctus tosariensis ( Reyne, 1957) comb. nov.

Remarks

Reyne (1957: 115) described a new species of giant scales, Walkeriana tosariensis , inhabiting Casuarina junghuhniana Miq. in East Java, and placed it in the genus Walkeriana Signoret, 1876 with a doubt. The adult females of this species have an ovisac band of wax glands and form a large ovisac during oviposition in contrast to other species of Walkeriana . Taking this into account, W. tosariensis is transferred to the related genus Hemaspidoproctus , whose members, including the type species redescribed above, have the ovisac band and form more or less prominent ovisacs.
