Nanhaiospis chiuillngensis, n. gen. and n. sp., is described on the basis of materialcollec ted on an undetermined bamboo in the Chiulung [Kowloon] Pen insula, oppositeHong Kong Island. Rugaspidiotlls communis Hu, 1987, which occurs on reed inHainan Island, is transferred to the new genus (Nanhaiaspis communis, 11. comb.) onthe supposition thaL it should be characterized nearly the same as N. ci1iulungensis,in contradi ction to the original description. Referable to the Diaspidini but not to theRugaspidiotini, Nanhaiaspis ean be an incipient rugaspidiotine in having much reducedpygidial appendages and <lmphisoml:llic pygidial macroducls, and thus affords anolherclue to the Rugaspidiot il1i-problem, whieh bas not bcen completely settled.]11 an appendix, Alllacaspis acronychiae, 11. sp., is described on the bas is of as ingle specimen collected in Hong Kong on Acrol1ychia pedUl1culata. II is close 10 A.guangdongensis described from Guangdong, China, and occurring on Aglaia odorata.
