A second species that may be referrable to this genus was collected in Kern County (RLZC).    Chrysoplatycerus Ashmead 1889  Hosts. Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae    ferrisi  Timberlake 1922: 6    Type. USNM   Distribution.C (Calaveras, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Santa Clara) Host/habitat.  Anisococcus adenostomae,  Phenacoccus gossypii Remarks.Hitherto known only from southern California, specimens from Calaveras and Santa Clara counties (RLZC) shows this species reaches well into northern California.     splendens(  Howard 1888: 194) ( Rileya)    Type. USNM   Distribution.W (Alameda, Contra Costa, Los Angeles, Marin, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Mateo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Ventura, Yolo, Yuba)  Host/habitat.  Dysmicoccus brevipes,  D. ryani,  Ferrisia virgata,  Planococcus citri,  P. ficus,  Pseudococcus calceolariae,  P. comstocki,  P. longispinus,  P. maritimus,  P. viburni   Remarks.Although this species was described from specimens collected in Los Angeles County in 1888, Essig (1911)stated that it “appears to be the same as one of the three introduced [into California] from the Philippine Islandsby Compere.” Presumably, based on this observation Clausen (1915)reported that  C. splendenshad been “placed” in San Diego County following its introduction. However, Noyes (2000: 215) thought it probable that Essig misapplied this name to a species from the genus  Taftia, which occurs in the Philippinesand closely resemble the genus  Chrysoplatycerus.  Formicococcus njalensisis not a proven host (see Methods).
