﻿NEW ENCYRTIDS FROM SICILY AND THE PHILIPPINES. 185 



fore win^ may be nearly absent, usually distinct. The scape is more 

 compressed, the pedicel barely longer than wide, the club solid, the 

 flagellar joints (excluding the pedicel) all somewhat longer and with 

 scattered, rather long hairs, the funicle joints shorter than the club. 



Described from a series of specimens reared from Pseudo- 

 coccus citri. Sicily. Calif. State lusectary. 700 xv. H. S. Smith. 



jf'/y/»e5.— Catafogue No. 19409, U.S.N.M. ; a female and a 

 male on slides : two paratype females on tags. 



2. Epidinocarsis pseadococci, n. sp. 



i^eHia/c— Length, 1.50 mm. 



Dull orange-yellow, the wings hyaline and like Blastoihrix yucca, 

 Coquillett, but the apex of funicle 1 is white, and the head is entirely 

 yellow except the occiput (vertex dusky in the other species) ; also 

 over the distal half of the pedicel is white, funicle 6 is barely longer 

 than wide (longer in yuccce, where only the distal fourth of the 

 pedicel is white) ; the funicle joints are all somewhat shorter, the 

 stigmal vein is straighter, longer than the marginal, the postmarginal 

 subobsolete (in yucca the stigmal vein is more curved, shorter, sub- 

 equal to the marginal, the postmarginal distinct, acuminate, some- 

 what shorter than the stigmal) : the hairless line in yucca, is much 

 less definitely limited. Also in yucca the axillae are joined with a 

 carina between them ; here they are separated for some little dis- 

 tance (but may be occasionally as in yuccce). Also in this species 

 only the median line of the scutellum is black (all in yucca except 

 lateral and apical margins). Scrobes diotinct, rather long. 



The male is smaller and all black, except base of scape and the 

 legs (except coxie). In the male tne marginal vein is subquadrate, 

 the head flatter, the antennte 9-jointed, the scape's dilation not 

 great, the pedicel globular ; flagellum dusky white except pedicel ; 

 funicle 1 nearly thrice longer than wide, shorter than the club, the 

 flagellum with rather thick, scraggly hairs. Axillae joined. 



Described from three males and eight females, reared from 

 Pseudofoccus citri. Sicily, 1913, H. J. Qiiayle. 



lypes. — Catalogue No. 19410, U.S.N.M.; four females on 

 tags, a female and a male head on a slide. Four of the females 

 are paratypes. 



3. Neaua^tatiis orienialis, n. sp. 



Female. — Length, 3.00 mm. The head is lenticular in this genus. 



Dark metallic purple, the fore wings deeply infuscated from a 

 little beyond the base of the hairless line distad to apex (deepest 

 under the stigmal and postmarginal veins). Abdomen with a 

 yellowish-white cinctus at base. Head, pronotum except all margins 

 narrowly, antennae and legs (except the hind legs) golden yellow ; 

 proximal joint of hind tarsi white, rest black. Distal four tarsal 

 joints of middle legs black. Mandibles tridentate. Funicle elongate, 

 slender, over twice the length of the not long pedicel, narrowed at 

 proximal third ; funicle 2 somewhat shorter, four times longer than 

 wide ; 5 slightly longer than wide. Club subequal in length to
