Thi's distinctive species has recently been adequately described and 

 figured. It is one of the few species parasitic on Pseudococcus spp. 

 This species was introduced into California from Sydney, New South 

 Wales, where it was discovered parasitizing Pseudococcus gahani 

 Green and Pseudococcus longispinu^ (Targioni). It is now estab- 

 lished in southern California and in the San Francisco Bay region.

151 ; Plate 14, Figure 173 



A medium sized, robifst species, yellow and black, with sparse, very 

 fine setae on the mesoscutum and three pairs of short, delicate setae 

 on the scutellum. This species is closely allied to G. leptosper7m 

 Girault and is best separated from the latter by the finer, sparser 

 setae of the mesoscutum, by a difference in the arrangement of the 

 cilia at the base of the fore wings and by coloration. 



Female. — Head predominantly yellow ; ©cellar area blotched with 

 brown or black; in some specimens, upper part of scrobes brown or 

 black; occiput on either side of foramen black or brown. Antennae 

 yellow with brownish sensoria. Thorax predominantly yellow ; col- 

 lar of pronotum, anterior margin of mesoscutum, a rounded spot on 

 either parapsis, most of axillae, anterior margin of scutellum, metano- 

 tum except median part, propodeum except lateral of spiracles, black- 

 ish. Abdomen mostly black above ; sides of sixth tergite and seventh 

 tergite except cereal plates, yellow. Venter of abdomen yellow. 

 Legs yellow, the tibiae and tarsi obscurely brownish. Wing veins 

 pale white. 



Pedicel about one and one-half times as long as wide and only a 

 trifle shorter than the first funicle joint. First funicle joint the 

 longest, about twice as long as wide, plainly narrower than the suc- 

 ceeding joint; second about one and one-third times as long as wide, 

 third about as wide as long and twice as wide as the first. Club 

 as long as second and third and one-half of the first funicle joints 

 (fifr. 25). 



Mandibles as shown in Figure 173. 



Fore wings hyaline; cilia of disk fine and short, rather dense. 

 A hairless streak from the base of the marginal vein projects 

 obliquely basad and is separated from the basal hairless streak by 

 five rows of cilia. Basal hairless streak well developed, its distal 

 portion extending obliquely outward. Marginal fringe short. Mar-
