middle femora ligh orange-yellow. Wings hyaline, veins dark brown, 
marginal cilia very short. 
Described from one female reared December 5, 1892, from Aspidiotus 
aurantii, received from D. W. Coqnillett, Los Angeles, Cal. 
Coccophagus scutatus n. sp. 
Female. — Length, 1.6 mm.; expanse, 3.3 mm.; greatest width of fore- 
wing, 0.58. Punctation of head and me so thorax scaly, more marked on 
niesoscutum. Thoracic bristles long and sparse, particularly long 
on hind border of pronotum and border of mesoscutellum. Parapsidal 
grooves very indistinct. Occiput, metanotuin, and abdomen smooth and 
shining. Wing veins very heavy. General color black, mesoscutelluin 
and postscutellum without a trace of yellow; mesoscutum with broad 
transverse band of orange extending from tegula to tegnla, the ante- 
rior border being nearly straight, while posterior border follows the 
central backward curve of the scutum. Antenna' dusky, legs pale 
fuscous, coxa' dark, femora with a middle brownish band, middle tibia 
darker in the middle and hind tibia dark brown on basal half. Wings 
clear, veins dark brown. 
Male. — Rather smaller, but closely resembles female. The meso- 
scntar band is of a pale orange; the antenna' are lighter in color; the 
scape yellowish; front and middle legs, with the exception of basal 
half of coxa', entirely light lemon yellow. All of hind coxa' and 
femora concolorous with other legs, but basal half of hind tibia is 
nearly black. Lower half of face also somewhat yellowish, particularly 
along the borders of the antennal groove. 
Described from live females and one male reared by A. Koebele in 
October from a Kermes on Querent agrifolia at Los Angeles, Cal. Also 
nine specimens reared by D. W. Coquillett from the same host at Los 
Angeles. 
Differs from all other species of Coecophagu.s known to me in the pos- 
session of the scutal band. 
Coccophagus ochraceus n. sp. 
Female. — Length, 0.7 mm.; expanse, 1.53 mm.; greatest width of

in having the general color ochraceous or dark honey-yellow instead 
of black. Head and mesonotum very finely and sparsely punctate, 
also very delicately shagreened. Normal notal hairs blackish; abdo- 
men smooth. General color, as just stated, dark ocher-yellow. Eyes 
dusky, ocelli dark red. Antenna? yellowish, except pedicel, which is 
blackish. Mesopleura and terminal segments of abdomen dark brown, 
nearly black. All legs concolorous with thorax. Wings hyaline, veins 
uniformly fuscous. 
Male. — Punctation of notum a trifle more pronounced than with the 
female, mesoscutum appearing slightly rugose; antenna? slightly dusky.
