ART. 7 REVISION" OF COCCOPHAGUS COMPEEE 103 



70. COCCOPHAGUS ISHIII, new species 

 Plate 9, Figure 68 ; Plate 11, Figure 92 



This species is closely related to G. scutellaris (Dalman), from 

 which it can be separated at a glance by the fore coxae, which are 

 black in distinct contrast to the yellow fore coxae of C. scwtellaris. 

 Slight structural differences also separate the two species G. ishiii 

 having the antennae slightly thicker and the propodeum sculptured 

 differently. 



Female. — General color black, including head and antennae. Pos- 

 terior two-thirds of scutellum lemon yellow Legs lemon yellow 

 except all coxae which are black, and hind femora which are black 

 except very narrowly at base. Tarsi of fore legs slightly brownish. 



Antennae slightly thicker than those of G. scutellaris^ but the 

 differences are not pronounced. The slight differences in antennal 

 proportions are best illustrated by the first funicle joint, which in 

 this species is less than twice as long as wide, measuring 0,1136 mm. 

 in length by 0.0632 mm. in width, while in G. scutellaris the first 

 funicle joint is a trifle more than twice as long as wide, measuring 

 0.0992 mm. long by 0.0464 mm. wide. Pedicel about one and one-half 

 times as long as wide and slightly more than one-half as long as 

 first funicle joint. First funicle joint plainly longest, the following 

 two successively slightly shorter and wider so that the third is about 

 as wide as long (0.0768 mm. long by 0.0752 mm. wide). Club about 

 twice as long as wide and broadly rounded at apex; all club joints 

 wider than long (fig. 68). G. scutellaris has the first club joint a 

 trifle longer than wide. 



Mandibles very faintly and obscurely tridentate, almost emarginate 

 except for the median tooth, which slightly projects and is broadly 

 rounded. 



Scutellum strongly convex, slightly wider than long (6:5) and 

 about as long as mesoscutum, sutures closely fused. Abdomen about 

 as long as thorax. Ovipositor not exserted. 



Fore wings hyaline, closely and densely ciliated on disk, marginal 

 fringe very short. Marginal vein plainly longer than submarginal, 

 postmarginal very short as shown in Figure 92. 



Mesoscutum, parapsides, axillae, and scutellum with network retic- 

 ulation except on yellow portion of the scutellum which is not 

 visibly sculptured. Propodeum between the longitudinal carinas 

 mesad of spiracles with sculpture obsolete or very faint. In G. 

 scutellaris the mesal portion of the propodeum is distinctly and more 

 or less evenly reticulated. 



Eyes clothed with numerous fine, pale hairs. Face, cheeks, and 

 dorsum of head with numerous short, black setae. Mesoscutum with 

 numerous short, black setae. Each parapsis with four or five short
