extending across the wing and irregular in shape. Venation dusky; wing uniformly 
densely ciliate. Hairs of thorax dark, those of the abdomen lighter. Hind wings 
with discal cilia uniform. 
Scape of antennae slender, much longer than the 2 following joints combined; 
pedicel shorter than funicle 1, subcuneate; funicle joint 1 cylindrical, shorter than 
the next joint; funicle joints 2 and 3 subequal, one-fourth longer than funicle 1, 
and slightly broader; club rather closely united, the basal and intermediate joints 
about subequal, the last joint conical, slightly, shorter; club not as long as the 
funicle. Antennae moderately, uniformly hairy, and with ‘the usual longitudinal 
carinae. (32-inch objective, 1-inch optic, Bausch and Lomb.) 
Male: — Unknown. 
Described from two female specimens reared from overwintered females of 
Eulecanium nigrofasciatum (Pergande), June 7th, 1908, in the insectary of the office 
of the State Entomologist of Illinois. The host was on peach collected by Mr. L. M. 
Smith of the State Entomologist’s office, at Carbondale, [linois, June 4th, 1908. 
From the naked eye black, with a white band around abdomen. 
Type:— Accession No. 37536, Mlinois State Laboratory of Natural History, 
Urbana, Illinois. One female mounted in balsam. 
Different from all other described species in the genus in having the broad 
transverse whitish belt about the base of the abdomen and the infuscated forewings. 
The black color, the concolorous scutellum, the broad white band of the abdomen, 
the polygonal sculpture of the thorax, the infuscated wings, and pallid coxae are 
characteristics of the species. 
4. Coccophaqus longifasciatus Howard. 
Howard, 1907, pp. 80-81, fig. 17. 
This striking species was described just recently by Howard (1907) from speci- 
mens reared from (Lecaniwm) Saissetia nigra (Nietner) in 1897 at Manaar, Ceylon. 
It was the first parasite reared from nigrofasciatum in Illinois, having emerged while 
the hosts were in transit from Carbondale to Urbana (June 15th, 1908). Subse- 
quently, it was reared in large numbers from the same hosts June 7th to 20th, 1908, 
and again, abundantly, from the host on peach sent from Cobden, Illinois, by Mr. L. 
M. Smith, on July 14th to 19th, 1908. From the large number of specimens reared, 
the specific determinations of which have been most kindly confirmed by Dr. L. O. 
Howard, I draw up the following additional descriptive details: 
‘Female: Scape of antennae as long as, or longer than, the united lengths of the 
next three joints; pedicel subconic, longer and broader than the first joint of the
