52 PEOCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.78 



that according to Van der Goot the species had been described by 

 Koningsberger as Encyrtus hofforiensis, but that he had been unable 

 to see the description of this species. Koningsberger wrote that the 

 species is a common parasite of Coccus viridis (Green) in Java, where 

 the coccid is a pest of coffee. 



Coccophagus hogoriejisis is related to C. Lecanii (Fitch) and its 

 allies. 



Female. — Scutellum mostly yellow, anterior margin dark. Tho- 

 rax dark brown; abdomen darker than the thorax, blackish. In 

 the balsam-mounted specimens, the ocellar triangle appears dark; 

 eyes and ocelli red and the remainder of the frontovertex yellowish. 

 Face and cheeks yellowish, becoming paler toward the mouth, in 

 life, possible appearing white. Scape whitish, flagellum brownish 

 yellow with darker sensoria. Legs mostly pale yellow or whitish, 

 only the hind femora and tibiae with a variable amount of dusky. 



The comparative lengths of the funicle joints vary slightly among 

 the different specimens or else the apparent variations are due to 

 the different positions of the antennae. Apparently the first funi- 

 cle joint is slightly the longest and the succeeding joints each a trifle 

 shorter and wider. The antenna that appeared to be best preserved 

 was measured with the following results: first funicle joint a triflle 

 more than one and one-half times as long as wide; third one and 

 one-third times as long as wide; second intermediate between the 

 first and third. None of the pedicels is clearly shown, but so far as 

 can be judged it appears to be about one and one-third times as 

 long as wide and much shorter than the first funicle joint (fig. 37). 



Proportions of the body and arrangement of the setae not unlike 

 those of G. lecanii (Fitch) ; however, a study of properly mounted 

 specimens may reveal differentiating characters that are not appar- 

 ent in the specimens at hand. A portion of the thorax is shown in 

 Figure 141. 



Fore wings hyaline, finely and closely ciliated; a small rounded, 

 hairless spot near the base. Marginal vein slightly longer than the 

 submarginal; stigmal shown in Figure 98. 



Measurements in mm. : Length 1.10. Pedicel 0.044 long by 

 0.0344 wide. First funicle joint 0.0640 long by 0.04 wide; second 

 0.0560 long by 0.0416 wide; third 0.0568 long by 0.0424 wide. First 

 club joint 0.0584 long by 0.0456 wide ; second 0.0560 long by 0.0448 

 wide; third 0.0504 long by 0.0336 wide. Fore wings 0.78 long by 

 0,36 wide. Marginal vein 0.25 long ; submarginal 0.22 long. 



Redescribed from 10 females (cotypes of C. javae Girault) 

 U.S.N.M. No. 19888. According to Girault's description, reared 

 from Lecaniuni viride [Ooccios viridis (Green)], Salataga, Java, 

 January, 1915, P. Van der Goot, collector.
