Abstract

On West Anacapa Island, Sta. Barbara Co., California, on August 21, 1940, George P. Kanakoff took a green leaf hopper, Xerophloea vanduzeei Lawson, which was found to be parasitized by two male pupae of a new parasite belonging to the genus Diozocera Pierce (1911), which is now transferred to the family Halictophagidae Pierce (1908), superfamily Halictophagoidea Pierce (1908), order Strepsiptera Kirby (1813).
