as shown in Figure 80. Marginal vein slightly longer than the 

 submarginal ; postmarginal shortly produced as shown in Figure 

 111. 



Length 0.8 mm. 



Redescribed from five females (cotypes U. S. N. M. No. 19894). 

 According to the original description this species was reared from a 

 Pseudococcus species on wild Mangifera^ Salatiga, Java, by P. Van 

 der Goot.

Fortunately the type of this species is in good condition, the 

 body being bulged only because of pressure. The head is detached 

 from the body and the remnants of a second head are present. In 

 his description, Girault compares C. perhispiclis Girault, C. pulcini 

 Girault, and O. triangulatinotus Girault to this species, also C inker- 

 7nani Girault is said to follow perhispidis. Girault states that this 

 species differs from the generic diagnosis in bearing a very short 

 ring joint and in having the hind tibial spurs double. So far as 

 I know all the species of Coccophagus possess a ring joint and 

 double hind tibial spurs. The species of Coccophagus of the tri- 

 guttatus group seem to be intermediate between those of the ochra- 

 ceus group, characterized by a strongly transverse scutellum, and 

 typical species having the scutellum almost as long as wide. 



Girault's color description is at follows : " Intense golden yellow 

 (greenish yellow), the wings hyaline, the antennae and legs concolor- 

 ous. On the distal half of the abdomen, three conspicuous round 

 black spots from dorsal aspect arranged in a triangle, the apical 

 one at tij), the basal two at lateral margin, one on each side just 

 beyond proximal half (sometimes if the segments are stretched, 

 split transversely into two more or less rectangular spots) ; a small 

 triangular spot at apex (cephalad) of each axilla, also jet black, as 

 well as the cephalic margin of scutellum between the parasidal 

 furrow ends. Base of fore wings very slightly dusky and a curved, 

 narrow, black line down propodeum on each side near margin." 

 The dusky coloration of the fore wings is no longer evident even 

 though one wing is clearly visible. The center of the pronotum is 

 black. 



Pedicel longer than wide and shorter than the first funicle joint. 

 First funicle joint plainly the longest, a trifle more than twice as 

 long as wide ; second and third each successively shorter and wider ; 

 third slightly longer than wide. Club slightly longer than first and 

 second funicle joints united and about one and one-third times as 

 wide as the third funicle joint (fig. 32).
