Dr. F. X. Williams on Metrosideros in the upper part of 
Manoa Valley, Oahu, on July 25, 1920. It has a pair of long, 
filiform bristles at apex of the scutellum, which were broken 
off in the type. 
A specimen of Anabrolepis recently received from Dr. R. J. 
Tillyard, who reared it from Aphelinus mali material on apple 
from the United States (the real host was probably one of the 
Diaspinae), is close to A. setierstedtii (Westwood). It differs 
from e.vrtranea in having the last two funicle joints yellowish; 
the pubescence of the mesoscutum somewhat sparser and 
blackish (in extranea the pubescence of the mesoscutum is 
neither so sparse nor dark-colored as indicated in the original 
description, but pale brownish and moderately abundant); the 
wings distinctly wider in proportion to the length, the pattern 
of the same type but differing slightly in detail, the apical dark 
area being longer than wide, the subapical clear spot on anterior 
niargin strongly narrowed inwardly or subtriangular in shape, 
with only its inner apex provided with dark-colored setae, the 
setae of the marginal vein dense, coarse and tapering, and 
apparently none of them spear-shaped. 
A. setterstedtiu, according to Mercet (Fauna Iberica, Himen., 
Fam. Encirtidos, p. 678, 1921), is similar to the above speci- 
men from North America, but the pubescence of the pronotum 
and mesoscutum is white, and the antennae seem to be some- 
what slenderer, with the last two funicle joints slightly longer 
than thick. 
Quaylea whittieri (Girault). 
Quaylea aliena Timberlake, Proc. Haw. Ent. Soe. 4, p. 216, 1919. 
There seems to be no reasonable doubt that aliena is a 
synonym of whittieri, as the receipt of a large series from 
California discloses numerous specimens that cannot be dis- 
tinguished from aliena. The differences pointed out in the 
description of aliena seem to be correlated, for the most part, 
with the smaller size of the types compared with the larger 
California specimens which I then had at my disposal, which 
were reared mostly from Scuwtellista. 
This species has become one of considerable importance in 
California, as it has greatly increased since the introduction
