ABT. 7 EEVISION OP COCCOPHAGITS COMPEEE 53 



25. COCCOPHAGUS CUBAENSIS, new species 



Plate 8, Figure 38 ; Plate 11, Figxire 113 



This species from Cuba is another form closely related to 

 C. lecanii (Fitch). It is most easily distinguished from the related 

 species by coloration; legs entirely pale yellow, venter and most of 

 the sides of thorax yellow. 



Female. — General color black, or blackish to dark brown in parts, 

 with the antennae, scutellum, median piece of metanotum, venter of 

 thorax, tegulae, prepectus, mesopleura, and metapleura lemon yellow. 

 Anterior margin of scutellum sometimes narrowly blackish and 

 sometimes with more or less blackish or brownish suffusing the yel- 

 lowish coloration on the sides of the thorax. Legs entirely pale 

 lemon yellow. 



The antennal proportions are not unlike those of the other species 

 of this group, namely, first funicle joint slightly the longest, the 

 second and third succesively a trifle shorter and wider. In this 

 species the sensoria are not so numerous as in G. hogoriensis 

 (Koningsberger), G. pulvinariae, new species, and G. tibialis, new 

 species. Antennae shown in Figure 38. 



Stigmal vein as shown in Figure 113. In other details the fore 

 wings are not essentially different from those of G. lecanii. 



Length 0.95 mm. 



Type.—C^t. No. 42094, U.S.N.M. 



Described from 20 females (holotype and paratypes) reared by 

 Dr. F. Silvestri from Pulvinaria (A) on citrus, Santiago de las 

 Vegas, Cuba, October, 1928. 



26. COCCOPHAGUS PULVINARIAE, new species 



Plate 8, Figure 39 ; Plate 11, Figure 127 



This is another species of the G. lecanii (Fitch) group that is dis- 

 tinguished by coloration. 



Female. — General color black. Face, cheeks, and antennae orange 

 yellow. Scutellum entirely pale lemon yellow, or at most the an- 

 terior margin very narrowly blackish. Middle and hind coxae more 

 or less blackish basally, remainder of the legs usually entirely 

 yellow. 



Scape fusiform, slightly widest just beyond the middle, a trifle 

 more than four times as long as wide. Pedicel about one and two- 

 fifths times as long as wide and plainly shorter than the first 

 funicle joint. First funicle joint the longest, one and three-fifths 

 times as long as wide; second and third each successively a trifle 

 shorter and wider so that the third is slightly less than one and one- 

 fourth times as long as wide. First club joint as long as the pre-
