setae. Each axilla with two short setae. Blackened portion of the

 mesoscutum. Yellowed portions of scutellum with white or pale 

 setae and at apex with a single pair of long black bristles. Anterior 

 margin of the metanotum with two small setae on either side. Pro- 

 podeum laterad of each spiracle with numerous short, black setae. 

 First two abdominal tergites with small, black setae in transverse 

 alignment on either side ; on the succeeding tergites, the setae extend 

 completely across dorsum. On the tergites beyond the third, the 

 setae are more numerous and are not in transverse alignment. 



Spur of middle tibia more than one-half as long as basitarsus; 

 basitarsus of middle leg about as long as following joints combined. 

 Paired spurs at apex of hind tibiae of about equal length.

Coccophagus scutatus Howard, U. S. Dept, Agr. Bur. Eiit. Tech. Bull. 3 ^895, 

 p. 38. 



From other prevailing black species, O. scutatus differs conspicu- 

 ously by the possession of a broad orange-colored band across the 

 mesoscutum between the tegulae and embracing^ most of the axillae. 

 Scutellum entirely black. 



Female. — General color black. Posterior one-third of mesoscutum 

 and axillae orange-colored, axillae sometimes yellow with a blackish 

 median blotch. Portions of sclerites in proximity to bases of fore 

 wings occasionally pale. Face and cheeks dark brown to ferruginous. 

 Antennae brown. Color of legs variable. Fore legs usually with 

 coxae paler than succeeding joints which are more or less brownish. 

 Middle legs with coxae brown to blackish, trochanters and basal' two- 

 thirds of femora concolorous, latter pale brown on apical portion; 

 tibiae light brown, concolorous with apices of femora. Hind legs
