The four-winged fly shown, much mag- nified, in Fig. 428, the natural sizie of which is indicated by the short lines on the left of the figure, is a parasite on this mealy-bug, known as Eneyrtus inquisitor Howard. Its body is smooth, of a shining black, and the transparent wings are partly obscured by dusky markings, as shown in the No. 264.—The Mealy-bug with Long Threads. Dactylopius longifilis Comstock. In this species the adult female is nearly one-fifth of an inch- long, of a light dull-yellow color, its body being cov- ered with a whitish powder. In Fig. 429 it is represented, magnified. The lateral appendages, which are seventeen in number, are long, the posterior ones on each side being very long, equalling, and sometimes exceeding, the entire length of the body. In the larval state the male and the female are very much alike, but as they approach maturity striking differences appear. The female surrounds herself with cottony material, amid which the young cluster for some time after birth.
