at base; the eighth, tenth, twelth, and fourteenth have only the

MINDANAO, 1 male. 
This species is characterized by the absolute lack of spines on 
anterior coxe, as is normally the case in the males of the genus 
Ephierodula Giglio-Tos; otherwise it is a true Hierodula, closely 
related to H. unimaculata Oliv. from Coromandel, Bombay, and 
Tonkin.

Luzon, Mount Maquiling, a female; Los Bafios, male and 
female. 
The Los Bafios female is of the green variety, the two 
others, of the grayish. The species has already been recorded 
from the Philippines, from Luzon, by Giglio-Tos. Hebard also 
records it from various localities in the Philippines. 
Ephierodula immaculifemorata sp. nov. 
This fine species differs from both other species of the genus ° 
by the unicolorous anterior coxe and femora and by the dentic- 
ulated anterior coxe of ‘the male; but in all other respects it is 
a true Ephierodula. Frontal scute pentagonal, with rounded 
anterior edges; pronotum not denticulated laterally; metazone 
about three times as long as prozone; dilatation strong, well 
distinguished by a horizontal expansion of its margin, resembling 
somewhat the still stronger one of Rhomboderula tamolana 
Brancs * from New Guinea; wings extending much beyond end of 
abdomen ; forewings with opaque green costal and glossy, hyaline 
discoidal part; stigma broadly surrounded by dark brown; hind 
wings hyaline, infumated; anterior cox with eight feeble 
spines; anterior femora with four outer and fifteen inner spines ; 
eleven outer and fifteen inner tibial spines. 
Total length, 65 millimeters; pronotum, 22; elytra, 50.
