with preceding species, no trace of a postmarginal. General color dark 

 brown, nearly black, opaque; hind coxae whitish; all femora and tibiae 

 dark brown, light at extremities, except middle tibiae of which the apical 

 half is yellowish; all tarsi yellowish except the brown terminal segments. 

 Wings hyaline, marginal vein distinctly yellow; antenna) white with first 

 funicle joint and club black. 



Described from one female, reared by C. H. T. Townsend at 

 Lima, Peru (Townsend's No. 1145 degree 3a), December 31, 1909. 

 Type: No. 18319, U. S. N. M. 



Physcus stanfordi n. sp. 



Female: Length 1.1 mm.; expanse 2.07 mm.; greatest width of fore-wing 

 0.289 mm. A rather slender, elongate form with mesoscutellum rather 

 longer than broad and with the line of impingement of scapulae on scutellum 

 rounded at anal angle. Mesoscutum and mesoscutellum faintly longitu- 

 dinally reticulate. General color brown, the abdomen cross-banded with 

 darker brown. Antennal scape brown, pedicel brown above at base, light 

 yellow below; funicle joint one brown, remainder of flagellum, including 

 club somewhat dusky (no contrast between segments two and three and the 

 club such as occurs with other species). Legs colored as with preceding 

 species. Wings hyaline, veins slightly dusky, stigmal vein very slightly 

 enlarged at tip.

GENUS AZOTUS Howard. 



Azotus Howard. Proc. Ent. Soc. Washington, iv, 2, 1898, p. 138. 

 Type: A. marchali How., loc. cit., p. 139. 



Since I described the genus Azotus in the Proceedings of this 

 Society in 1898, four species in addition to the type have been 

 found and described, viz.: A. capensis How., A. pinifolice Mercet, 

 A. pulchriceps Zehntner, and A. speciosissimus Gir. All have 

 been reared from Coccidae except the last which was captured. 

 The recorded distribution of the genus is France, Spain, Australia, 

 Java, South Africa and Japan. It is probably of oriental origin 

 and imported into Europe. Specimens of A. marchali have been 

 reared in the Bureau of Entomology by Mr. J. F. Zimmer from 

 Aspidiotus uvcc Comst. collected in the District of Columbia, so 

 that this species has probably become widely spread. 



In a lot of reared parasites received a few years ago from Mr. 

 S. I. Kuwana, of Tokio, the following new species was found.
