Fig. 1 . A, Detail of colony of Plotococcus eugeniae. The large stellate individuals 
are females. A winged male is denoted by the arrow. B, Last instar larva of Ceraeo- 
chrysa cincta amidst its prey. C, Same, enlarged view (Bar in A = 1 mm). 
Pupal cocoons were present as well, as were typical stalked chry- 
sopid eggs, on or near the infested leaves. The cocoons were them- 
selves white from wax incorporated into their case, and therefore 
well camouflaged when located near mealybugs. We succeeded in 
raising over two dozen adults, some from pupae, others from young 
larvae. All were identified as Ceraeochrysa cincta (voucher material 
deposited in the Cornell University insect collection, lot no. 1 164).
