1914 (Swezey) ; and 3 females, 1 male (paratypes) reared 

 from Eucalymnatus tessellatus, Pun Kapele, Kauai, Feb. 14, 



1915 (Swezey). 



Examination of the host remains mounted with the Kauai 

 specimens indicates that the parasite is unquestionably a pri- 

 mary parasite and that only one issues from the nearly full- 

 grown scale. The record from Saissetia needs eoniirmation 

 before being accepted.
