Type locality. — Taihoku, Formosa, 



Type.— Cat. No. 28986, U.S.N.M. 



Hosts. — Macrosipho7iiella citricola Van der Gott and Greenidea 

 fcicola Takahashi. 



Described from two female and two male specimens received 

 through the Bureau of Entomology from T. Shiraki. Both females 

 and one male were reared, according to Shiraki, from Maorosiphon- 

 iella citricola Van der Goot by R. Takahashi. One male was reared 

 by the same collector from Greenidea flcicola Takahashi. 



PRAON, species 



One male specimen of a Praon which apparently is very close ta 

 P. -fiavinode Haliday was reared from Macrosiphimi forinosanum 

 Takahashi, at Taihoku. Formosa, May 5, 1922.
