ABT. 7 REVISION OF COCCOPHAGUS — COMPERE 113 



G. 'pulcJiellus Westwood is recognized as valid in this paper, although 

 previously synonymized, and it is suspected that certain other species 

 now in synonomy may eventually be rediscovered. Since the Euro- 

 pean authors are not in agreement regarding the synonomy of some 

 of the older, inadequately, described species and because of my uncer- 

 tainty, references to only the original descriptions are given in the 

 following pages. 



COCCOPHAGUS INSIDIATOR (Dalman) 



Entedon insidiator Dalman, Svensk. Vet. Akad. Handl., vol. 46, 1825. 



Without much doubt C. lecanii (Fitch) or one of its closely 

 related forms will be eventually referred to this species. For a 

 list of the species that have been referred to C. insidiator (Dalman), 

 the work of Mercet should be consulted. 



COCCOPHAGUS OBSCURUS Westwood 



Coccophagus ohscurus Westwood, London and Edin. Philos. Mag., No. 3, vol. 17, 

 1833, p. 344. 



This species now stands as a synonym of G. insidiator (Dalman) 

 but I suspect an error, for the descriptions are not in agreement 

 nor have I seen any specimens that agree with Westwood's original 

 description. 



COCCOPHAGUS INARON (Walker) 



Aphelinus inaron Walkek, Monog. Chalcid., vol. 1, 1839. 



COCCOPHAGUS MOERIS (Walker) 



Aphelinus moeris Walkeb, Monog. Chalcid., vol. 1, 1839. 



COCCOPHAGUS ARGIOPE (Walker) 



Aphelinus argiope Walker, Monog. Chalcid., vol. 1, 1839. 



COCCOPHAGUS FORSTERI (Dalla Torre) 



Myina scutellaris Forster, Beitr. Monog. Pterom., 1841, p. 441 (not scutellaris 



Dalman). 

 Aphelinus forsteri Dalla Torre, Cat. Hym., vol. 5, 1898, p. 221. 



This species is doubtfully placed in synonymy with G. howardi 

 Masi by Silvestri.^^ 



COCCOPHAGUS NOTATUS (Ratzeburg) 



Coccobius notatus Ratzeburg, Ichn. Forst. Inst., 1852. 



Coccophagus notatus Howard, Div. Ent., U. S. D. A. Tech. Ser. No. 1, 1895, p. 11. 



Dr. L. O. Howard is authority for the statement that this species 

 is a GocGophagus.'^^ According to Mercet's translation of the orig- 

 inal description, this species is not unlike G. lecanii (Fitch) or one 

 of its allies.
