Hemiptera : Pseudococcidae koebeli Trjapitzin 1997 : 668 [ New state record ](UCDC) Type . BMNH Distribution. W (Imperial) Host/habitat. Unknown Remarks. The single specimen from California varies slightly from the original description in regard to the dimensions of the syntergite and color, but Trjapitzin (1997) noted a fair degree of variation between specimens from southern Mexico and the USA , and so I feel confident assigning this specimen to the species. The only other species in the genus, A . aureocincta Brues, 1910 , was imported into California (as “undescribed genus near Leptomastix ”) for control of Ferrisia virgata , but died out in culture ( DeBach & Warner 1969 ). However, I have seen a single specimen of that species from Baja California (UCRC), and it seems likely that it will eventually be found in California as well.
