This species is therefore parasitic on the eggs of Caecilius auran- tiacus Hagen at least, and is found in both California and Florida; I am inclined to think the record from Aleyrodes femaldi Mori, as due to accidental presence of the parasites, and perhaps their host, in the breeding box containing the Aleyrodid, though it is quite within the range of possibility that they are parasitic on it. I think this not the more probable, however, especially in view of the fact that the host was from the north. This species is undoubtedly the one referred to by Howard (1894).
