Encarsia angelica n. sp. 
Male.—Length, 0.74 mm.; expanse, 1.7 mm.; greatest width of fore- 
wing, 0.25mm. Pedicelas broad as long, less than half as long as joint 
1 of funicle; funicle joint 1 as wide as or slightly wider than pedicel, 
rounded at base, more truncate at tip, appearing swollen in compari- 
son with next joint; joint 2 a little longer than joint 1 and narrower, 
cylindrical; joints, 3,4, and 5 each atrifle longer than its predecessor, 
otherwise resembling it. Terminal joint a little shorter than its prede- 
cessor, rounded at base and tapering to somewhat pointed tip. Thorax 
and abdomen smooth. General color brownish yellow, darker on pro- 
notum and anterior portion of mesoscutum at sides of parapsides and 
metanotum, and on dorsum of abdomen; a dark line between the eyes 
and under ocelli. Tegule brown; all legs uniform pale straw-yellow. 
Described from one male specimen reared from Aleyrodes on willow 
September 17, at Los Angeles, Cal., by Mr. D. W. Coquillett. 
Genus ASPIDIOTIPHAGUS Howard. 
Aspidiotiphagus Howard. Insect Life, vol.v1, p. 230, 1894. 
Female-—Antenne 8-jointed; scape long, slender; pedicel a little 
longer than its apical width; funicle joints 1, 2 and 5 inereasing in 
width, but each approximating pedicel in length: club long, distinctly 
3-jointed, basal joint shortest, apical joints subequal, terminal joint 
pointed. Lateral ocelli equidistant from each other and margin of 
compound eyes. Parapsides of mesoscutum widely separated, very 
narrow posteriorly, broadening out rapidly toward tegulwe; mesoscu- 
tellum like that of Aphelinus, its seapule longitudinally elongate and 
extending forward to lateral widening of the parapsides; metanotum 
very narrow. Abdomen short, broadly sessile and broadly rounded at 
tip. Spur of middle tibive very slender, as long as the short first tarsal 
joint. Forewings long, narrow; submarginal and marginal veins sub-- 
equalinlength; postmarginal lacking; stigmal very slight and parallel 
with costa, situated at half the wing length and exactly opposite to the 
termination of thickening of hinder margin of wing, this being also 
the widest point of the wing; cilia of wing surface rather sparse, a 
clear rounded space immediately below stigma, and a narrow clear line 
around margin; marginal vein bristly; marginal cilia very long, longer 
than wing width, those on costal margin just beyond stigma nearly as 
long as those on hind margin. Hind-wings very narrow, with long 
marginal cilia and but one row of discal cilia on outer third; marginal 
vein ending abruptly and extending up apparently beyond costa. 
Differs from Coccophagus in wines and from Hncarsia in antennze
