lows: center of pronotum; anterior part of mesoscutum ; axillae; 

 scutellum in part (perhaps anteriorly) ; most of metanotum and 

 propodeum; dorsum of abdomen except the first or first and second 

 tergites and sides of the sixth or fifth and sixth tergites, which are 

 yellow. Head, antennae, and legs yellow. 



Scape and pedicel of both antennae concealed by the head. (Pre- 

 sumably, pedicel shorter than first funicle joint and longer than 

 wide. ) First funicle joint the longest ; the succeeding progressively 

 shorter and wider. Club about as long as the preceding two funicle 

 joints combined and about one and one-half times as wide as the 

 third funicle joint (fig. 34). 



The outlines of the scutellum cannot be seen nor can the vestiture 

 be studied ; however, the size and shape of the surrounding parts in- 

 dicate that the scutellum is not strongly transverse but almost as 

 long as wide. It is also likely that the scutellum bears three pairs 

 of bristles for if densely setose, some of the setae would likely be 

 detected. 



Fore wings relatively large and closely and densely ciliated. A 

 hairless streak under the marginal vein is separated from a basal 

 hairless streak by two rows of cilia. Hairless streaks of the wings 

 somewhat similar in arrangement to those of G. pulcini Girault as 

 shown in Figure 79. Marginal vein a trifle longer than the sub- 

 marginal; stigmal and postmarginal as shown in Figure 119. 



Basitarsus of middle legs almost as long as the four succeeding 

 joints united; tibial spur slightly shorter than the basitarsus. 



Measurements in mm.: Length of body (exclusive of head) 0.80. 

 Fore wings 0.92 long by 0.46 wide. Marginal vein 0.30 long; sub- 

 marginal 0.28 long. Marginal fringe 0.0192 long. Five tarsal 

 joints of middle legs combined 0.28 long; basitarsus 0.12 long; 

 tibial spur 0.1008 long. First funicle joint 0.0552 long by 0.0216 

 wide; second 0.0432 long by 0.0304 wide; third 0.0392 long by 

 0.0368 wide. First club joint 0.0408 long by 0.056 wide; second 

 0.0360 long by 0.0560 wide ; third 0.0216 long by 0.0416 wide.

Coccophagus leptospermi Gieatjlt, Insecutor Inscitiae Menstruus, vol. 5, 1917, 

 p. 92. 



So far as can be seen, structurally closely related to C triguttatus 

 Girault and C. triangulatinotus Girault; the detailed measurements 

 and bulged mesopleura look suspiciously alike, yet on the basis of 

 coloration, the three forms seem distinct. These three species of
