Two female specimens. St. Vincent. 



In the United States this insect is parasitic upon Lecanium 

 quercitronis, Eitch (N. Y.), Fulvinaria innumeraiilis, Rathvon 

 (Ills, and D. C), and Lecanium Jiesperidum, Linn. (D. C and 

 Cal.). The last-named is a cosmopolitan species and undoubtedly 

 occurs on the island of St. Vincent, since it has been found 

 on Jamaica and Montserrat.
