Male. — The males differ from the females in coloration and an- 

 tennal characters. 



General color yellow with extensive blackish to dark brown mark- 

 ings as follows : Occiput on either side and above foramen ; ocellar 

 triangle; pronotum; large triangular blotch on anterior part of 

 mesoscutum; posterior half of parapsidal grooves; a faint rounded 

 spot on each parapsis; axillae; triangular blotch on base of scutel- 

 lum; sides of metanotum; propodeum; and the whole abdomen. 

 Tegulae and median piece of metanotum pale yellow. Face and 

 cheeks, venter of thorax, legs and antennae pale yellow. Tarsi of 

 fore legs entirely dusky, apical joint of middle tarsi and apical two 

 joints of hind tarsi dusky. Sensoria on flagellum dusky. 



Pedicel short, wider than long. Flagellum large with numerous 

 sensoria; joints symmetrical and medially articulated. Club differ- 

 entiated, rather small, narrower than funicle. First funicle joint 

 the longest, about twice as long as wide; second and third succes- 

 sively shorter. Club about as long as the first and one-half of the 

 second funicle joints combined. First club joint much smaller than 

 the third funicle joint (fig. 150). 



Length 0.84 mm. 



Redescribed from eight females and five males (cotypes) on a 

 single slide, U.S.N.M. No. 20668, also labeled " Queensland Museum." 

 The original description gives the following data : " From many pairs 

 reared from galls on Leptospei^m fiavescens^ September, 1915 (H. 

 Hacker). Types in the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, 9 females 4 

 males on slide. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1 male, 17 females on slide." Pre- 

 sumably the gall referred to as a host was actually a gall-like coccid.

Cocophagus inkermani Gieaxtlt, New Pests from Australia, III ; Brisbane, 

 Queensland, August 25, 1926. (Published by author.) 



Girault's original description follows : " Follows perhispidis. 

 Abdomen with rather wide stripes across middle (less than i/^ sur- 

 face). Orange, legs white, apex, abdomen black. Funicle 1 longest, 

 twice longer than wide. Inkerman, Q." 



Owing to the condition of the type it is difficult to add much of 

 value to the original description. The type specimen is split longi- 

 tudinally, the head is missing, the wings folded, and obscured. 

 Cracks in the balsam and a piece of glass adhering to the specimen 

 add to the difficulty of obtaining a clear view. 



One antenna remains intact but it is folded and distorted. This 

 antenna is shown in Figure 36. Of the other antenna, the club and 

 distal two funicle joints remain. The remnants of the second an- 

 tenna indicate that the apical funicle joint and club are more
