ENCARSIA AONIDI.E, new species (Howard). 



i^ewrt/^.— Length, 0.51 mm. ; expanse, l.U mm, Funicle joint 1 much 

 longer than pedicel, the following- joints subequal in length, the termi- 

 nal joint as with preceding species. Funicle with sparser longitudinal 

 carinte, but two observable from dorsal aspect. Funicle and club 

 clothed with sparse, short, nearly erect bristles-an uni(jue character 

 among the Apheliuinre. Cephalic border of mesoscutellum not convex, 

 straight in one specimen and with two slight reentcing angles in the 

 other. Stigmal vein of fore wings as with preceding species^ marginal 

 vein with nine bristles on costal boi-der, these bristles longer than costal 

 ciha beginning at end of marginal. Hind wings on outer fourth with 

 two rows of discal cilia, one row near costal margin and the other near 

 hind margin.

This species was first found at Los Angeles, California, where it is 

 parasitic upon Lecaniiim liesperklum. Some years later it was reared at 

 Columbus, Ohio, on the same scale on greenhouse plants. Mr. Green 

 has reared it from Lecanium piperh. 



ENCYRTUS LICHTENSI^, new species (Howard). 



Female.— Leiagth, 3,3 mm. ; expanse, 5.4 mm. Rather closely related 

 to the European E. cijanifrons, Dalman. Antennal scape rather 

 strongly widened below; pedicel somewhat longer than first funicle 

 joint; first funicle joint one-half longer than wide, succeeding funicle 

 joints increasing slightly in width but subequal in length; club tlat- 

 tened, as long as two j.rcceding tunicle joints together,^broader from
