Tenaphalara Juliana sp. nov. 



Closely related to T. malayensis, differing as follows : Antennae 

 slender throughout, third segment not thicker than succeeding 

 ones ; legs slenderer and shorter ; f orewings without pterostigma 

 and the marginal cells relatively different in size. 



Borneo, Sandakan (Baker) , 1 example (genitalia broken off) . 



Tenaphalara striata sp. nov. Plate II, fig. 5. 



Length of body, 2.7 to 3.1 millimeters; forewing, 3 to 3.4. 

 General color orange yellow or fulvous, with narrow black mark- 

 ings on vertex and thoracic dorsum; vertex with five black 

 stripes, one on median line and two on each side; abdomen 

 brownish; femora brown apically; antenna? dark at tip of each 

 segment; f orewings hyaline, with several small brown flecks 

 in distal third. 



Head not quite as broad as thorax, vertex broader than long, 

 rectangular, nearly straight across front margin, more nearly 

 fiat than in congeners, with a slight depression on each side of 

 median line; gense bulging roundly forward in front of vertex 

 and beneath antennal sockets, covering frons, with a pair of very 

 small, approximate, acutely pointed, conical processes far back 

 just in front of clypeus. Frons not visible except at front 

 ocellus. Antennse about twice as long as width of head, slender. 

 Beak long. 



Thorax moderately broad and robust; metascutellum with 

 two small, blunt epiphyses dorsad. Legs stout ; hind tibise with 

 a large spur at base and four black spines at apex, one longer 

 than the others and bifid. Forewings long and narrow, hyaline, 

 with a whitish tinge, several black flecks on blisterlike elevations 

 on membrane and a few on veins in distal third ; marginal cells 

 subequal. 



Abdomen moderately long. Male forceps about as long as 

 anal valve, slender, arched, slightly enlarged at tip; anal valve 

 constricted at base and subspherically swollen above the narrow 

 base, outline in lateral view subcircular. Female genital seg- 

 ment long, nearly as long as abdomen ; dorsal valve with a large 

 prominent dorsal projection caudad of large anus, rounded 

 broadly at its apex and bearing a single horizontal row of about 

 ten long setae ; apex of dorsal valve acute and, with acute point 

 of ventral valve, closely embracing the stout ovipositor. 



Singapore (Baker), 1 pair. 



This is obviously close to the typical Tenaphalara but some- 

 what different in the shape of head.
