Anusioptera Brues 1910 [New state record]

Hosts. Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae

koebeli Trjapitzin 1997: 668 [New state record](UCDC)

Type. BMNH

Distribution. W (Imperial)

Host/habitat. Unknown

Remarks. The single specimen from California varies slightly from the original description in regard to the dimensions of the syntergite and color, but Trjapitzin (1997) noted a fair degree of variation between specimens from southern Mexico and the USA, and so I feel confident assigning this specimen to the species. The only other species in the genus, A. aureocincta Brues, 1910, was imported into California (as “undescribed genus near Leptomastix ”) for control of Ferrisia virgata, but died out in culture (DeBach & Warner 1969). However, I have seen a single specimen of that species from Baja California (UCRC), and it seems likely that it will eventually be found in California as well.
