Treatment

Formicencyrtus Girault 1916 View in CoL

Hosts. Hemiptera : Dactylopiidae , Pseudococcidae

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

Remarks. Both of the named species of this genus were described from brachypterous specimens. Fully winged specimens were collected in Imperial County (UCDC) and Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties (UCRC), but it is not clear if they represent new species.
