136 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



E. E. Green, of Punduloya, Ceylon, sent specimens reared from 

 Fiorinia. On receipt of the results of Mr. Koebele's rearings, 

 six new localities were added, namely, Kandy, Ceylon ; Atami, 

 Japan ; Tamsui, Formosa ; and Hong Kong, Amoy, and Macao, 

 China. All of the specimens examined by the writer, and there 

 were hundreds of them, down to the very last slide from the last 

 named locality, were females, and it was, therefore, a great 

 pleasure to find a single specimen from Macao reared from 

 Chionaspis eugenice which represented the hitherto unknown 

 male. The identity is unmistakable and the male differed from 

 the female, as was quite to be expected, only in the antennae. 

 Instead of being 3-jointed, as are the antennae of the female, those 

 of the male are 9-jointed, 4 of the joints belonging to the funicle, 

 as represented in the accompanying figure. Thus, although 

 originally described from Sweden, and next found in the United 

 States,' it becomes probable that Arrhenophagus is an oriental 

 form. 



Other curious occurrences of this nature have come to me. 

 Thus, in the autumn of 1896, I described a remarkable Coc- 

 cophagus reared by Mr. Green in Ceylon from several Lecaniine 

 scales as Coccophagus orientalis. Within a week after the 

 description was published specimens of the same species were 

 received from Mr. H. A. Morgan, at Baton Rouge, La. The 

 species of the new genus Azotus, a description of which follows, 

 is another similar instance. A unique example was received in 

 December last from Dr. Paul Marchal, of Paris, who had reared 

 it from the common European Diaspis ostreceformis the 

 previous June. After the description of the new genus was 

 drawn up, a single example (the second one known) of the same 

 species was received from Mr. Wm. M. Maskell, of New Zea 

 land, who had reared it from Aspidiotus nerii received from 

 Sidney, New South Wales. From such instances it will be seen 

 that at the present time with many of these parasites it is quite as 

 hopeless a task to endeavor to ascertain original home as it is to 

 ascertain the same for their hosts. 



ARCHENOMUS, new genus. 



Male. Tarsi 4-jointed. Antennae 8-jointed, subcylindrical, pointed at 

 tip, pedicel somewhat broader than other joints, joints i and 3 of funicle 

 long, joint 2 very short; club 3-jointed, attenuate. Body short, stout; 

 mesoscutar parapsides moderately long; mesoscutellum broad and short, 

 much flatter before than behind. Fore-wings broad with a long fringe 

 which is shorter at apex than on outer costal margin; marginal vein 

 very heavy, a little more than one-third the length of the submarginal
