Sipyius dilatatus Walk. 



Add: Habitat. — Luzon, Manila: Rizal Province, Pasig. Pa- 

 nay, Antique Province, Culasi. (McGregor.) 

 Hosts. — Phyllanthus reticulatus Poir. ; Acalypha sti- 

 pulacea Klotz. 



Seven specimens collected as follows: One male and one fe- 

 male taken at Manila in April, 1917 ; one male and two females 

 taken at Pasig, February 17, 1918, on Phyllanthus r,eticulatus ; 

 two females taken at Culasi, May 27, 1918, on shoots from a stub 

 of Acalypha stipulacea. Mr. McGregor's field notes on this 

 species state that the insects were solitary and were not attended 

 by ants. With the specimens of this species now available for 

 study, it appears that the males average considerably smaller 

 and darker than the females but show the same characteristic 

 broadened pronotum and the nodulate veins on the tegmina.
