There are four specimens of this species in the collection of the 
Department of Agriculture, reared January 6, 1881, from Diaspis brome- 
lie Kern. on Ananassa sativa in the greenhouses of the Department. 
(2) COCCOPHAGUS AURANTIL n. sp. 
This is the original clear-winged form referred to in the preliminary 
remarks under the last species. We have but two specimens, and these 
were reared by Mr. Coquillett, May 9, 1887. It is the species to which

FG. 7.—Coccophagus aurantii n. sp.; greatly enlarged (orginal). 
we gave the above name in MS at the time of its first receipt. It 
differs from the typical Coccophagus principally in the long fringe to 
the hind wings; but it hardly seems necessary to erect a new genus 
for it.
