Genus APHELINOIDEA Girault. 



1. APHELINOIDEA TINTINNABULUM new species.

 absent just distad of venation somewhat as in plutella but the naked stripe is not so clearly 

 delimited as in that species. Legs and antennas pallid, suffused slightly with dusky, the femora 

 dusky. Face, sides of thorax, occiput and obscure cross-stripes on abdomen blackish. Dorsum 

 of thorax orange yellow. Only one or two cephalic lines of discal cilia reach the marginal 

 vein, the others disappearing about the length of that vein away. Scutellum paler. 



Male: — Not known. 



Described from two females captured by sweeping forest, .January 6, 1913.
