Treatment

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 [ 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.
