neomexicanus ( Ashmead 1900: 355) (Anusia)

Type. USNM

Distribution. N (Riverside)

Host/habitat. Amonostherium lichtensioides

Remarks. A specimen from Riverside (UCRC) is recorded as “on Erium n. sp. ”, a monotypic genus that is restricted to Australia, so this host record probably refers to an undetermined pseudococcid.

thoreauini Girault 1916: 45 View in CoL [New state record] (UCDC)

Type. USNM

Distribution. N (Inyo)

Host/habitat. Dactylopius confusus
