described by Fullaway is not the male of this species and evidently 

 something quite different. A male included in the material loaned 

 for study which answers to his description is an Ectromine. 



Redescribed from two females and one male on a shde labeled 

 "exmealy bug on sugar cane, Ewa, 11-29-12," and one female in 

 alcohol without data, all loaned by the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' 

 Station through the kindness of Mr. D. T. Fullaway. The specimens 

 are apparently metatypes. The recorded host is Pseudococcus 

 saccJiarifolii (Green).
