278 The Philippine Journal of Science 1921 
Described from fourteen males and eight females. 
Cotypes—No. 18178, in College of Agriculture, University 
of the Philippines. 
The present variety is distinguished from the species prin- 
cipally by its strongly deflected head, brown pterostigma, and 
darker brown abdomen, which is concolorous with notum. 
Nymphs (living specimens).—Very light whitish yellow. 
Black as follows: Apical and subapical antennal segments; 
distal portions of the rest of antennal segments proximad. 
Eyes red. Tibiz and tarsi reddish white. Body and append- 
ages sparsely covered with long hairs and an irregular thin 
coating of wax. A slender, fluffy, waxy filament, usually longer 
than body, joined to each side of subapical abdominal tergite. 
The species, likewise, has been reported to produce similar 
waxy secretions (Crawford ’15: 260), and it is said to be at- 
tended by ants. 
Nymph (apparently full-grown; mounted in balsam) —Length 
of body, 1.84 millimeters; width of head, including eyes, 0.6; 
length of forewing pads, 0.64, width, 0.2; length of abdomen, 
1.04, width, 0.59; length of larger caudolateral wax glands, 
0.2, thickness, 0.09. Light yellow. Eyes red. Brown as 
follows: Ungues; terminal and subterminal antennal segments. 
Body and appendages very sparsely covered with moderately 
long hairs. 
Head slightly narrower than thorax, obtuse at cephalic mar- 
gin. Vertex about one and one-fourth times as long as wide. 
Eyes subhemispherical, about four-sevenths as thick as width 
of vertex. Two small, irregularly diffuse areas situated meso- 
caudad from eyes and concolorous with latter, presumably 
representing posterior ocelli. Antennz about twice as long as 
width of head including eyes; basal two segments shorter and 
thicker than the rest, as in adult. 
Thorax about one and one-eighth times as long as wide, 
subuniform in width throughout. Hind legs about one and 
one-fifth times as long as middle; fore and middle legs subequal in 
length; ungues curved apicad. 
Abdomen about one and six-sevenths times as long as thorax; 
width about half the length; uniform in width from thorax to 
beginning of caudolateral wax glands; obtusely angular caudad, 
terminating in a small, subcylindrical, caudal segment, about 
twice as wide as long and about two-sevenths as wide as larger 
portion of abdomen; two short, bristlelike hairs on each side of 
caudal segment ectodistad. Larger pair of subreniform wax
