Description

? Elenchoides perkinsi Pierce, U. S. National Museum, Bull. 66: 167, pl. 15, fig. 6, 1909.

Elenchus tenuicornis Kirby, Perkins, Hawaii. Sugar Plant. Assoc. Ent. Bull. 1 (3): 106, 1906. Muir, Hawaii. Sugar. Plant. Assoc. Ent. Bull. 2: 6, 1906.

Three specimens of the delphacid leafhopper Sogata eupompe (Kirkaldy) from Inarajan and one from Agat were found to have been parasitized by a stylopid. This may possibly be Elenchoides perkinsi, a species recorded as abundant on several species of delphacids in Queensland and Fiji under the name Elenchus tenuicornis Kirby, a misidentification according to Pierce who names it as above.
