Ragonot 2 states that he was informed by Riley that the larva of this species feeds on 
the “fluted scale” (Icerya purchasi), and that it had probably been introduced from 
Australia. We have received tliree specimens of the insect from Jalapa. The example 
described by Ragonot! was from an unknown locality. 7
