of the abdomen more whitish, the legs paler, the scape of the 

 antenna except the dorsal margin and the apex of the pedicel 

 white, and the wings conspicuously trifasciate, the bands due 

 both to integumentary pigment and to the ciliation. 



A female reared from a Pseudococcus on Citrus (not Pseudo- 

 coccus citri Risso), Okitsu, Japan, July, 1914 (Kuwana), Cali- 

 fornia State Insectary no. 783, is entirely similar to specimens 

 from Sicily, except that the blackish streak on the dorsal margin 

 of the scape does not quite reach the apex. This species has 

 been introduced into southern California from Sicily to help 

 reduce the citrus mealybug [Pseudococcus citri Risso), and, ac- 

 cording to the latest reports, has become established. 



Tanaomastix albiclavata (Ashmead) 



Aphycus alhidavatus Ashmead, Proe. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 29, p. 404, 

 1905. 



This species as compared with T. abnormis has a thicker, nar- 

 rower head, with the frontovertex nearly twice longer than the 

 posterior width, the dorsal orbits of eyes slightly converging be- 

 hind, the ocelli in an acute angle, the posterior pair close to the 

 eye-margin, the scape subexpanded below, the scutellum more 

 acute at apex, and the spur of the middle tibiae fully one-half 

 as long as the tarsi. 



The above notes are based on one female from the Philippine 

 Islands (undoubtedly from the vicinity of Manila), reared from 

 a Pseudococcus species, and received from the California State 

 Insectary. It agrees with Ashmead 's type specimen, which is a 

 female, and not a male, as stated in the original description.
