EPICHEILONEURUS new genus. 
Female :—Like Cristatithorax but the seutellum is simple, scape distinctly compressed. 
In the table runs to Paratetralophidea Girault from which it is easily distinguished by reason 
of the long marginal vein and the short stigmal, the latter about a fourth of the length of 
the former. 
1. EPICHEILONEURUS ALBICOXA new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 1.25 mm. 
Very similar to Cristathoraz pasteuri Girault but the legs are lighter, funicle 6 suffused 
with whitish, tips of tibia white and the scape somewhat more dilated and of the head only the 
occiput is dark metallic. Compared with type of C. bidentimazille. Dark metallic green, 
the head orange yellow, the scutum with a short dense silvery pubescence, the middle coxe 
concolorous. Antenne all black, funicle 6 suffused with white. First and last pairs of coxa, 
tarsi, tips of tibia (broadly so on middle legs) and middle femur silvery white. Rest of legs 
blackish, front legs dusky. Tegule orange. Scutellum with a pair of long seta from extreme 
apex. Head as in C. pasteuri and also the antenne. Wings as in the same species. Hind tibial 
spur single. Scutellum densely shagreened, the scutum very finely scaly, the propodeum yet 
finer, laterad with silvery pubescence. Axille separated distinctly a short distance.

wings and a hind leg on a slide. 
COCCIDOXENOIDES new genus. 
Female :—Like Fulgoridicida Perkins but the antennal club but 2-jointed, the frons 
moderately broad. Marginal vein a little longer than wide, the postmarginal barely developed, 
the stigmal somewhat longer than the marginal. Mandibles very small, with two minute, acute 
teeth. Fore wings of moderate width. 
1. COCCIDOXENOIDES PERMINUTUS new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 0.50 mm. 
Dark metallic purple, the wings hyaline, the knees, tarsi and tips of tibie yellow, the 
venation dusky. Hairless line of fore wing with 3-4 lines of cilia proximad of it. Thorax 
polygonally scaly. Axille meeting inwardly. Abdomen triangular, pointed, as long as the 
thorax. Scape of moderate length; first five funicle joints short, subequal, each much wider 
than long (nearly twice wider), 6 abruptly much larger, a little longer than wide, thrice the
