This appears to be closely related to the Philippine species, 

 A. variabilis. In wing colors and venation some of the variable 

 Philippine specimens closely resemble the southern form, but in 

 male genitalia they are distinct though suggestively similar, 

 also. 

 Arytaina flava sp. nov. Plate II, fig. 10. 



Length of body, 2.2 millimeters ; length of f orewing, 2.3. Gen- 

 eral color fiavous yellow, with several dull-colored streaks on 

 thoracic dorsum ; eyes black ; antennal segments black at tip of 

 each. Body surface sparsely pubescent. 



Head not quite as broad as thorax; vertex flattish, with a 

 small foveal impression on each side of median line; with a 

 small tubercle on each outer angle behind antennal base, front 

 ocellus above. Genal cones a little broader than long, about 

 half as long as vertex, broad at apex, scarcely divergent. An- 

 tenna? about twice as long as width of head or less, very slender. 



Thorax broad, well arched. Legs short, thick; hind tibia? 

 with spur at base and five or six black spines at apex. Fore- 

 wings fiavous, broadly rounded, veins setigerous, venation some- 

 what similar to that of A. meridionalis. 



Male genital segment short; forceps about two-thirds as long 

 as anal valve ; moderately stout, not tapering much toward apex, 

 bluntly rounded at tip ; anal valve inclined caudad in apical third, 

 a little broader at base than apex, narrow apically. 



Female genital segment half as long as abdomen or more, both 

 valves acute or subacute, subequal in length. 



Singapore (Baker), 2 females. Borneo (Baker), 1 male and 

 1 female. The latter differ slightly from the Singapore speci- 

 mens in having shorter antenna?, and the second marginal cell 

 of forewing not quadrate. All appear, however, to be repre- 

 sentatives of the same species. 



Arytaina iolani sp. nov. Plate II, fig. 11. 



Length of body, 2 to 2.3 millimeters ; forewing, 2 to 2.3. Gen- 

 eral color fiavous to orange red, eyes black; antenna? black at 

 tip of each segment; forewings slightly fiavous. Body surface 

 glabrous. 



Head nearly as broad as thorax, deflexed. Vertex fiat, about 

 half as long as broad, with a very shallow depression on each 

 side of median line, with a small tubercle on each outer angle 

 behind antennal base. Genal cones as broad as long, broadly 

 rounded at apex, somewhat divergent. Antenna? a little less 

 than twice as long as width of head. 



Thorax arched, broad. Legs moderately long and slender;
