rather distinct, near the middle of each a transverse row of long,

Mycodiplosis coccidivora Felt 
1911 Felt, E. P. Econom. Ent. Jour., 4:549-50 
The species closely resembles the Diplosis coccidarum 
Ckll. to which it has been referred.’ It was reared by Prof. T. D. A. 
Cockerell from the ovisac of Pulvinaria urbicola taken 
on Capsicum at Kingston, Jamaica, W. I., and labeled in the collec- 
tions of the United States National Museum as Diplosis 
coccidarum Ckll. See the note relating to this in the Pro- 
ceedings of the Entomological Society of London, volume 41, page 
161. An examination of the male shows it to be very different 
from what we take to be the true Diplosis coccidarum 
Ckll., a species reared from Dactylopius. Though the specimens 
were mutilated, we deemed it advisable to refer the species pro- 
visionally to this genus and characterize it, if for no other reason 
than to avoid further confusion. This formisalliedto M. acari- 
vora Felt, from which it is readily distinguished by the much 
stouter genitalia. 
? Mycodiplosis cincta n. sp.

Female. Length 1.753 mm. Antennae about as long as the body: 
rather thickly haired, grayish black, the stems whitish; 14 segments 
the fourth with a stem one-third the length of the subcylindric basal 
enlargement, which latter has a length three times its diameter and 
is slightly expanded apically. Palpi; the first segment broadly 
rounded, subquadrate, the second with a length fully three times its 
diameter, the third and fourth each one-half longer, more slender. 
Mesonotum, scutellum and postscutellum pale yellowish white. 
Abdomen deep carmine, fuscous basally, yellowish apically. Wings 
subhyaline, a nearly uniform light fuscous, the basal third of costa 
yellowish white, the third vein joining the margin well beyond the 
apex. Halteres whitish transparent. Coxae yellowish transparent. 
Legs grayish black, the distal fourth of femora, the basal two-thirds 
of tibiae, the first, the basal two-thirds of the second and third, and 
most of the fourth tarsal segments white; claws stout, strongly 
curved, the pulvilli about one-half the length of the claws. Ovt- 
positor stout, nearly as long as the abdomen, the terminal lobes
