xv, 2 Crawford: Jumping Plant Lice 199 



pressed and with projecting episternum (dorsal aspect) appear- 

 ing somewhat like a collar. Legs moderately long, femora stout ; 

 hind tibiae with an inconspicuous spur at base and a prominent 

 spiniform tooth near apex. Forewings long and slender, three 

 times as long as broad, acute at apex, wholly hyaline, marginal 

 cells about equal in size, radius short. Hind wings about half 

 as long as forewings, very narrow and delicate. 



Female genital segment short, not longer than preceding ter- 

 gite, with an abruptly acute apex. 



Fiji Islands, Rewa (Muir), March 3, 1916, 1 female. Luzon, 

 Laguna Province, Mount Maquiling (Baker), 1 male doubtfully 

 of this species. The latter specimen is so imperfectly preserved 

 that its identity is a matter of doubt, but it appears to represent 

 this species. The forceps are nearly as long as anal valve, trian- 

 gular in lateral aspect, about three times as long as basal width, 

 acutely pointed. Anal valve with caudal margin somewhat sin- 

 uate, bulging caudad midway. 



The specimen from Fiji bears the same date of collection as 

 that examined by Kirkaldy, but there is no indication that he 

 had examined it.
