joint the smaller. Caudal femur compressed, somewhat enlarged, 

 its tibia obclavate, the spurs very unequal. Caudal femur scaly, 

 the tibiae above distad with rather stout tooth-Hke setae. Joint 1 of 

 caudal tarsi longest, but not especially long. Propodeum short at 

 the meson, long laterad; the spiracle central, the median carina 

 obscure except at base; lateral carina represented by a sulcus which 

 is straight. Parapsidal furrows complete, very delicate. Cephalic 

 femora like the caudal ones; the caudal coxae large as in the Tory- 

 midae. Antennae inserted on the middle of the face. Scutellum 

 large, convex. Antennae as in Systasis. 



From one female reared from Lecanium viride, Salatiga, Java,

Subfamily Tetrastichinae. 



EPITETRASTICHUS LECANII, new species. 



Female. — Length, 0.75 mm. 



Agreeing -with the description of Tetrasticlius hicolor Girault, but 

 the head whoUy black, the general color dark metallic purple; the 

 yellow basal part of the abdomen is narrowly margined with pm-phsh 

 and the flagellum is dusky; also the legs are yellow except the cepha- 

 hc coxae. The abdomen is pm-ple except the proximal third. Funi- 

 cle joints subequal to each other and to the pedicel. Club with a 

 minute terminal spine. Club 1 shorter than the combined length of 

 the other two. Propodeum with a carina laterad of the spiracle; 

 no true lateral carina. Stigmal vein of moderate length. 



The male has the coxae and femora dusk}^ (cephalic femur only 

 along proximal half), and the yellow of dorsal abdomen is a moderate 

 round area near base. The funicle and club joints each bear one 

 whorl of very slender hairs; three minute ring joints, four funicle, 

 three club. Scape with a wart-hke area or projection Garge and 

 round) ventrad near tip; pedicel somewhat longer than wide at apex; 

 funicle 1 wider than long, 3 longest, over twice longer than wide, 2 

 and 4 subequal, each somewhat shorter than 3. Mandibles tridentate. 



Described from a single pair reared from Lecanium viride, Salatiga, 

 Java, January, 1915 (P. van der Goot).

Female. — Length, 1.25 mm. 



Agrees with the description of the Australian jlaviscapus Dodd^
