‘¢ Female.—Length, 0.7 mm.; expanse, 1.16 mm.; greatest width of fore wing, 0.18 mm. 
Joint 1 of funicle shorter and narrower than pedicel and than joint 2, which is subequal to 
pedicel in length and width, joint 3 shorter than joint 2. Surface of thorax smooth. General 
color light brownish yellow; occipital line, margin of pronotum and a median stripe on 
mesoscutum, scapule, outer edge of metanotum, abdomen, especially lateral margin, darker; 
antenne and legs light fuscous; eyes black, ocelli red; wings hyaline, veins slightly dusky. 
Fore wings with disk densely, finely and uniformly ciliate, costal margin with very short 
marginal cilia beginning at stigma, growing gradually longer at tip of wing and on lower 
outer margin becoming half the width of wae broadest portion of wing beyond stigma; 
hind-wings as with preceding species. 
Described from two female specimens reared May 9, 1887, by D. W. Coquillett from 
Aspidiotus aurantii, var. citrinus, from San Gabriel, Cal.’’ 
3. COCCOPHAGUS ALBISCUTELLUM Girault. 
A. COCCOPHAGUS ALBISCUTELLUM SCHILLERI new variety. 
Female :—Length, 0.65 mm. 
Extremely like the typical form but the caudal femora are not dusky as in that form, 
the fore wings are only obscurely dusky under the marginal vein and are somewhat narrower, 
the incisions of the abdomen appear as so many white cross-stripes and the proximal tarsal 
joints are shorter. No type. 
From one female taken in forest, December 9, 1913. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
A second one same place, June 17, 1914. In this specimen, the head was orange 
yellow. 
A female of the typical form, Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland, jungle, May 24. The 
scutellum is more yellowish. The antennz a little slenderer, the fore wings less distinctly 
infuscated. Compared with type. The North Queensland specimen bore a distinct, narrow 
median groove on the scutellum and this is distinctly indicated on the type specimen now in 
balsam. The fore wing is infuscated under the marginal vein only, The ovipositor is as in 
Ablerus. Stigmal vein directed cephalad. Hind wing acute, with about five lines of discal cilia. 
4. COCCOPHAGUS FILIUS new species. 
Female :—Length, 0.75 mm. 
Very similar to boswelli Girault but the club is wholly black, the scutellum contrasts 
being brilliant lemon yellow, the axilla and mesopleurum are black, also upper occiput and 
the funicle joints are all somewhat shorter. The ovipositor valves just tip the abdomen. 
Otherwise alike in every detail. The ovipositor is inserted farther distad, a little distad of the 
middle. 
From one female taken by sweeping in forest, April 28, 1914. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 2924, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag with type 
of Aphelinus ruskini. 
5. COCCOPHAGUS TRIGUTTATUS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1 mm. 
Differs from the generic diagnosis in bearing a very short ring-joint and the hind 
tibial spurs are double. 
Intense golden yellow (greenish yellow), the wings hyaline, the antenne and legs 
concolorous. On the distal half of abdomen, three conspicuous round black spots from dorsal
