Girault 1917a : 22 Howard 1910: 3 Howard 1897: 151 Annotated Checklist of California Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera) Zuparko, Robert L. Zootaxa 2015 4017 1 1 126 68JL 272336 Ashmead 1900 Ashmead 1900 [151,480,1160,1186] Insecta Encyrtidae Ooencyrtus Animalia Hymenoptera 43 44 Arthropoda genus     californicus  Girault 1917a: 22    Type. USNM   Distribution.N (Inyo, Riverside, Sacramento, Tulare)  Host/habitat.  Anasa tristis,  Pennisetia marginata   Remarks. Peck (1963: 428)questioned the host record of  Pennisetia marginatareported by Johansen (1957), but I’m including it since other  Ooencyrtusspecies have been reported as parasitoids of Lepidoptera. A species near to   O. californicushas been collected from Alameda, Calaveras, Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, Solano, Stanislaus and Trinitycounties (RLZC). The holotypefemale is mounted on a slide (USNM) and has been crushed into dozens of pieces. The antenna and one forewing are easily visible, but otherwise the rest of the specimen offers little opportunity to distinguish this species.     kuvanae(  Howard 1910: 3) ( Schedius)[ New state record] (CSCA)    Type. USNM   Distribution.W (Contra Costa, Riverside)  Host/habitat.  Anastatus japonicus,  Anoplocnemis curvipes,  Chrysoperla carnea,  Clavigralla tomentosicollis,  Cotesia melanoscela,  Dasychira pinicola,  Dendrolimus spectabilis,  Eriogyna pyretorum,  Euproctis chrysorrhoea,  Hemileuca oliviae,  Leucoma salicis,  Lymantria fumida,  L. monacha,  L. xylina,  Malacosoma neustria,  Orgyia antiqua,   O. leucostigma,  O. sp.,  Porthetria dispar, Suarius fedtschenkoi   Remarks. Dowden (1962)reported that   O. kuvanaewill reproduce on  Orgyia leucostigmain the lab, but the parasitoid was never recovered from that host in the field. Peck (1963: 431)noted   O. leucostigmaas a host of   O. kuvanae, but failed to cite any reference for that record. Specimens identified as near   O. kuvanaewere collected in Napa, Santa Clara and Sonoma counties (EMEC).     submetallicus(  Howard 1897: 151) ( Encyrtus)[ New state record] (CSCA)    Type. BMNH   Distribution.W (Imperial)  Host/habitat.  Anasa scorbutica,  Caligo memnon,  Coleotichus blackburniae,  Edessa meditabunda, E. sp.,  Erinnyis ello,  Euschistus heros,  Heliconiussp.,  Liohippelates pusio,  Hypercompe albicornis,  Leptoglossus gonagra,  Mormidea angustata,  Nezara viridula,  Oebalus ypsilongriseus,  Opsiphanes cassina,   O. tamarindi,  Piezodorus guildinii   Remarks.The California record is based upon a single damaged specimen, determined by Burks. The antennae, legs and forewings are all missing, but the remaining body agrees with the redescription provided by Noyes (1979). The specimen was one of several parasitoid species associated with  Ferrisia virgataon  Tecoma capensis ( Bignoniaceae). spp.  Remarks.In addition to the species listed above, I have seen specimens that appear to represent an additional 17 morphospecies present in the state, one of which was reared from  Malacosoma californicumand M. sp. ( Langston 1957) (EMEC, RLZC).
