 from fnglisia elytropappi Brain, Signal Hill, Cape Town, South 

 Africa, December, 1924. Allotype male from Saissetia oleae (Ber-

Two female specimens from Foochow, China, collected by F. 

 Silvestri, were determined by us as C. Jongifasciatus Howard on 

 the basis of the original description. Rust reported the species 

 from South Africa and sent specimens for stud3^ The South 

 African form is described as new in this paper under the name G. 

 hivlttatus. The principal differences between these two forms are 

 given in the key and mentioned under C. hivlttatus, new species. 



C. Jongifasciatus was originally described from specimens reared 

 by E. E. Green from /Saissetia nigra (Nietner) collected at Manaar, 

 Ceylon. The Chinese specimens in our collection are supposed to 

 be identical with the Ceylon specimens but the determination is not 

 positive. 



43. COCCOPHAGUS CINGULIVENTRIS Girault

Coccophagus cinguliventris Girault, Psyche, vol. 16, no. 4, 1909, pp. 79-80. — 

 Mercet, Trab, Mus. Cien. Nat., No. 10, 1912, pp. 225-26. 



Coccophagus cinguliventris is very distinct, not being closely re- 

 lated to any other described species. The comparatively long stigmal 

 vein is strikingly different from that of any other described species. 

 The habitus of this species is vaguely suggestive of Aphelinus. The 

 sutures of the mesoscutum, axillae, parapsides, and scutellum are 

 well impressed and the setae of the mesoscutum are less numerous 

 than usual. This species has a distinctive coloration. The antennae 

 also offer good characters for its recognition.
