Redescribed from one female, one male (cotypes) reared from 

 Coccus Tiesperidum Linnaeus, Sydney, New South Wales (A. Koebele) ; 

 three females, two males, from same host, Los Angeles County, Cali- 

 fornia, April (A. Koebele), and seven females, two males with the 

 same data but reared in August, Koebele's number 160; one female 

 from same host, Avalon, Catalina Island, California, September 12, 

 1912 (P. H. Timberlake); five females, four males from same host, 

 Carpenteria, California, July 12 to August 27, 1911 (P. H. Timberlake) ; 

 and a series of both sexes reared from the same host in reproduction 

 experiments with females from Carpenteria.
