The specimens before me appear to differ from Crawford’s 
original description in certain minor color characters only. 
Subfamily PSYLLINZ: Puton 
Genus EPIPSYLLA Kuwayama 
Epipsylla forcipata Crawford (’17:167). Plate 2, fig. 8; 
Plate 3, figs. 26 and 28; Plate 5, fig. 54. 
One slightly damaged female specimen, apparently belonging 
to this species, collected in Manila on May 8, 1910 (Banks), 
No. 18568, Bureau of Science collection. This specimen appears 
to differ slightly from Crawford’s type as follows: Pterostigma 
opaque; another proximal opaque area contiguous to pterostigma 
and bordering costal margin of wing. However, in as much 
as the specimen before me is imperfect and I have no means 
of deciding whether or not this is an abnormality, I deem it 
inadvisable to place this insect in another variety. 
Genus PSYLLA Geoffroy 
Psylla simle Crawford (’12: 246). Plate 2, fig. 10; Plate 3, 
fig. 29; Plate 4, fig. 42; Plate 5, fig. 52.

abdomen, collected at Los Bafios, Laguna, Luzon, at an altitude

collection, March 8, 1915 (Banks); from the same locality, 
accession No. 18517, College of Agriculture collection, February 
17, 1917 (A. Goco). This species was formerly known only 
from Simla, West Himalayas, at an altitude of about 2,100 
meters.
