ACHRYSOPOPHAGUS REX, new species. 



Female. — Same stature as the preceding. Golden yellow, the wings 

 infuscated as in io; the following metallic parts. The abdomen, 

 valves of ovipositor and a little over the distal third of the scutum. 

 The following black parts: Pedicel, club, funicle 6 and the dorsal 

 half of the middle tibia, except broadly at apex. The following sil- 

 very parts: Apex of the scape, pedicel dorsad at apex not broadly; 

 funicles 1-5, first two pairs of femora base of caudal femur, tip of 

 middle tibia and the tarsi. Otherwise same as io. 



Described from one female on a slide labeled" From. Pseudococcus 

 citri on Bamboo, Manila, Philippine Islands, Compere, July, 1909." 



Type.— Cut. No. 20851, U.S.N.M., the above specimen. 



HABROLEPIS ZETTERSTEDTII Westwood. 



A female of this European species from Lepidosaphes iilmi, April 

 22, 1914, Monmouth, Maine, (E. H. Siegler). 



COPIDOSOMA GELECHIAE Howard SAGA, new variety. 



Female. — Length, 1.35 mm., excluding the ovipositor which is 

 extruded from a fourth the length of the abdomen. 



Dark metallic green, the axillae, scutellum and abdomen purplish, 

 the body with a velvety sheen, the legs except the coxae, reddish 

 yellow, the wings subhy aline; ventral aspect of body purple; venation 

 dusky black, the stigmal vein with a dusky line down its proximal side. 

 Distal tarsal joint black; basal part of hind femur purplish. Body 

 coarsely scaly, including abdomen, the latter compressed distad, 

 depressed above the base. Axillae just separated b}^ a very short 

 carina. Pedicel yellow at apex. Scape extending a little beyond 

 the vertex, long and slender, the pedicel somewhat longer than wide, 

 slightly longer than funicle 1 which is subequal to 2 and somewhat 

 longer than wide; 6 a little wider than long. Club long, conic-ovate, 

 two-thirds the length of the funicle, obliquely truncate from the 

 base of joint 2, its joint 1 subquadrate, obliquely truncate at apex, 

 2 distinctly longer than wide but somewhat shorter than 3. Man- 

 dibular teeth distinct, 1 somewhat shorter than the other two. Mar- 

 ginal vein a little longer than wide, the postmarginal vein distinct 

 but very short, the stigmal normal. Frons moderately broad. Head 

 longer than wide, truncate at apex, the scrobes short, joined above. 

 Cheeks somewhat shorter than the eyes. 



Very closely allied with typical C. gelechiae Howard but that 

 form has the third tooth of the mandible distinctly much shorter 

 (evidently worn or broken) than the other, subequal two which 

 are acute; the stigmal vein is slightly shorter; the venation yellowish; 

 funicles 1-2 slightly longer; the pedicel not always yellow at apex; 

 the caudal femora are all purple except at end; the caudal tibiae bear 

 a broad purplish band a short distance below the knees.
