successively shorter and wider than first, all longer than wide. Basal 

 club joint not as long as third funicle joint and wider. All club 

 joints subequal in length (fig. 63). The figure of the antenna may 

 not be entirely accurate as the specimen from which the drawing 

 was made was considerably distorted.

Coccophagus yoshidae Nakayama, Philippine Journ. Sci., vol. 18, No. 1, 1921, 

 pp. 98-90, pi. 1, fig. 1.— Compere, Bull. So. Calif. Acad. Sci., vol. 23, pt. 4,

A large black species with hyaline wings and densely setose 

 scutellum. 



Female. — Head and body wholly black, sometimes the face suffused 

 with brownish. Antennal scape with some brownish, pedicel and 

 flagellum darker. Legs black, marked with pale yellow as follows: 

 fore and middle tibiae entirely; fore and hind femora narrowly at 

 apex. The light-colored portions of the fore legs with a trace of 

 brownish; tarsi yellowish except the apical joints, which are dusky; 

 middle femora with a faint brownish annulus at base. 



Antennal scape a trifle wider than usual, hardly more than three 

 times as long as wide. Pedicel about one and one-half times as long 

 as wide and plainly much shorter than the first funicle joint, which 

 is almost twice as long as wide. Second and third funicle joints 

 almost imperceptibly decreasing in length and increasing in width 

 so that the third is only about one and one-sixth times as long as 

 wide. Basal club joint plainly but slightly wider than long, plainly 

 shorter than third funicle joint and slightly wider; second club 

 joint also wider than long; third as long as wide (fig. 74). 



Mandibles slightly incised, with a ventral tooth and a broad, 

 dorsal truncation (fig. 169). 



Scutellum a trifle wider than long and about as long as meso- 

 scutum. Abdomen about as long and as wide as thorax. Ovipositor 

 sheaths not exserted. Figure 14 is drawn with the first tergite too 

 short.
