Legs with fore coxae mostly pale brown to dark brown, fore femora mostly pale brown to dark brown except basally and apically pale yellow; mid and hind legs mostly pale yellow, except mid and hind coxae pale brown. Head. Vertex with reticulate sculpture; eyes finely setose. Antennal scape about 3.50× as long as wide; pedicel 1.48× as long as wide, 1.12× as long as F1; F1 subequal in length to F2, 0.87× as long as F3, F1–F3 1.32×, 1.38× and 1.36× as long as wide respectively, each with 2 longitudinal sensilla; clava slightly longer than funicle, C1 1.85× as long as wide, C2 2.52× as long as wide, 1.24× longer than C1, and each claval segment with 3 or 4 longitudinal sensilla. Mesosoma . Mid-lobe of mesoscutum with irregularly hexagonal cells or reticulation, with 27 setae; distance between axillae about 2.63× length of an axilla; mesoscutellum 0.84× as long as mid-lobe of mesoscutum, with irregular longitudinal reticulation and with 2 pairs of setae, placoid sensilla on mesoscutellum located between the two pairs of setae, but slightly closer to fore pair; mesopostphragma, measured from apex of mesoscutellum, 1.11× as long as mesoscutellum. Fore wing relatively small, 2.48× as long as maximum width of wing disc, marginal fringe 0.24× as long as maximum width of disc; submarginal vein shorter than marginal vein, with 5 setae; marginal vein with 7 setae along anterior margin; postmarginal vein present, 0.27× as long as stigmal vein; wing disc densely setose with narrow asetose area posterobasally. FIGURES 10–18. Coccobius bimaculatus , female: 10, body in dorsal view; 11, body in ventral view; 12, head in frontal view; 13, head in occipital view; 14, antenna; 15, fore wing; 16, mesosoma; 17, fore wing venation; 18, ovipositor. Metasoma. Metasoma about 1.09× as long as mesosoma; tergites 1–7 with setae as follows: T1–T2, 2+2 each; T3, 2+3; T4, 2+2; T5, 2+4; T6, 4 between cercal plates; T7, 9 in one row; ovipositor basally located at T3, slightly projecting beyond apex of metasoma, 1.41× as long as mid tibia, third valvula about 2.00× as long as mid basitarsus. Male. Unknown. Host. An unidentified Diaspididae (Hemiptera) scale on bamboo. Distribution. China (Fujian). Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin, bi = double, maculatus = patched, referring to the two dark brown patches on the mesoscutellum. Diagnosis . Coccobius bimaculatus resembles C. chaoi Huang 1994 , which keys to couplet 12 in the key to Chinese species given by Wang et al . (2014) , but can be distinguished from the latter by the following: head with frontovertex yellow except for two small dark brown spots before the medial ocellus; mid-lobe of mesoscutum dark yellow with a large dark brown patch on each side and a longitudinal dark brown stripe in middle, and with 27 setae; and mesoscutellum dark yellow with a dark brown patch around each scutellar sensillum. Females of C. chaoi have the head dark brown, both the mid-lobe of the mesoscutum and the mesoscutellum dark brown, and the mid-lobe of mesoscutum has 38 setae.
