described by Fullaway is not the male of this species and evidently 

 something quite different. A male included in the material loaned 

 for study which answers to his description is an Ectromine. 



Redescribed from two females and one male on a slide labeled 

 "exmealy bug on sugar cane, Ewa, 11-29-12," and one female in 

 alcohol without data, all loaned by the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' 

 Station through the kindness of Mr. D. T. Fullaway. The specimens 

 are apparently metatypes. The recorded host is Pseudococcus 

 saccharifolii (Green). 



3. PSEUDOCOCCOBIUS BIFASCIATUS, new species. 



Female. Front and vertex about three times as long as wide, the 

 margins of the eyes slightly converging anteriorly; ocelli in an 

 acute-angled triangle, the posterior pair about one-half their diameter 

 from the eye margin and a little over twice their diameter from the 

 occipital margin; eyes large, about one-third longer than wide, with 

 a fine, short, thick pubescence; head as seen from in front slightly 

 longer than wide, but nearly circular in outline, cheeks as long as 

 the greatest width of the eyes; antennal scrobes rather wide and 

 deep, meeting above at an angle of about 40. Antennal scape 

 cylindrical, shorter and stouter than in P. ehrhorm; the pedicel 

 narrowed at base and as long as the first four funicle joints combined; 

 funicle joints increasing gradually in width, the last joint about 

 twice as wide as the first and twice as long, the first three joints of 

 nearly equal length and distinctly transverse, the last three increas- 

 ing in length, not so distinctly transverse, the fifth and sixth subequal 

 in length; club smaller than usually, ovate, obliquely rounded at 

 apex, about one-half wider again than the last preceding joint and 

 as long as the last five funicle joints combined, the sutures plainly 

 indicated. Wings not uniformly ciliated, the apex, base, and a cross 

 band at end of stigmal vein with paler, weaker cilia; oblique hairless 

 streak of nearly uniform width, subinterrupted just below the middle, 

 and nearly connecting with the hairless streak on the posterior border 

 of wing; bristles on the submarginal vein strong; stigmal vein at 

 angle of about 70 with margin of the wing. Ovipositor protruded 

 about one-third the length of the abdomen. Length, 1.1 mm., 

 exclusive of ovipositor. 



Head, notum, and pleura of thorax, the basal and apical segments 

 of the abdomen bright orange yellow; antennal scrobes of face, collar 

 of pronotum, prepectal plates and tegulae yellowish white, the latter 

 with a brown spot on its posterior margin; center of occiput and con- 

 cealed part of pronotum dusky; the metanotum, propodeum, and a
