 Paurocephala psylloptera Crawford. 



This appears to be a common species, widely distributed in 

 the South Pacific regions. Since additional material has come 

 to hand it seems necessary to supplement the original descrip- 

 tion which was drawn up from six specimens. The color of the 

 male is not uniformly darker than the female; both sexes are 

 usually very dark chocolate brown to dull black; lighter forms 

 seem to be less matured, the color deepening with age; vertex 

 and thoracic dorsum sometimes with orange yellow streaks but 

 more commonly uniformly dark, antennae usually as dark as 

 vertex; legs often lighter in color or even yellowish. Body 

 surface often not hairy; vertex and thoracic dorsum finely, 

 reticulately marked. The beak is moderately long and the man- 

 dibular setse sometimes exserted to a length of 1 millimeter or 

 less. The hind tibiae have a row of about seven black spines 

 on outside, several spines at apex and are more or less hirsute. 

 The metacoxal spurs are long and slender. Pterostigma of fore- 

 wings usually dark colored, veins black. 



In the Philippine Islands this species has been collected in 

 Luzon, Los Bafios (Baker), on Ficus ulmifolia; and on Mount 

 Maquiling (Baker). Ceylon, Peradeniya (Rutherford), on 

 Ficus hispida and Ficus asperrima. Additional specimens are 

 now before me from Tenimber Islands, Larat (Muir), Decem- 

 ber, 1907, 18 males and 18 females.
