times as long as wide, rounded apically; pronotum wider than 
long, polished, concave above, truncated anteriorly; pronotum 
sloping abruptly anteriorly; mesonotum polished, shaped as in 
L. philippinensis, as wide as the scutellum; parapsidal grooves 
incomplete, not indicated behind; scutellum transverse, polished, 
flattened, striate behind on the sides; axille partly separated 
off by deep grooves; postscutellum polished medially, not ridged; 
abdomen as in philippinensis; wings maculated as in philip- 
pinensis; basal nervure slightly bent at distal two-fifths; mem- 
branes on femora and tibize narow, inconspicuous; front tarsi 
as in philippinensis. Body entirely rufous, the thoracic sutures 
blackish. 
BORNEO, Sandakan (Baker), 1 female. 
Type.—Catalogue No. 24319, United States National Museum. 
This species may be the same as L. philippinensis but seems 
to be distinct. Intermediate forms are unknown, and it seems 
best to separate what seem to be the extremes. 
Loboscelidia carinata sp. nov. 
Female—tLength, 3 millimeters. Differs from L. maculi- 
pennis in a few minor particulars: face more strongly striate 
and granulose medially, with a sharp median carina; basal 
nervure bow-shaped, not so distinctly angulate; anterior wing 
hyaline, with a yellowish band across its middle. 
STRAITS SETTLEMENTS, Singapore (Baker), 1 female. 
Type.—Catalogue No. 24320, United States National Museum. 
Loboscelidia defecta Kieffer. 
In the lot received from Professor Baker is a series of fifteen 
Specimens representing this species. Two were collected at 
Singapore, and the rest at Sandakan, Borneo. They agree very 
well with the original description. Sometimes the anterior 
abscissa of the subcosta is present, but very short. Kieffer’s 
figure shows the maculation of the wings very nicely. In some 
of the specimens at hand the spots are indistinct and merge 
together, or they are pale and hard to trace. 
Loboscelidia brunnea sp. nov. 
Female.—Length, 3 millimeters. Closely related to L. defecta 
Kieffer from which it differs as follows: Frons polished, shining, 
not shagreened, with the lateral ridges higher and sharper, and 
with a sharp median ridge on lower half; dorsal cervical plate
