9. Chaetodacus ferrugineus limbiferus var. nov. Plate I, fig. 5. 



Male and female. — This new variety is allied to C. pedestris 

 in the color of the legs and of the bristles and to C. occipitalis 

 in the color of the occiput; but differs from both in the very 

 broad black fore border of the wings (Plate I, fig. 5), which 

 extends equally broadly to the third longitudinal vein. The 

 length varies from 7 to 8 millimeters.

10. Chaetodacus coutinuus sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 6. 



Allied to the preceding forms of C. ferrugineus sensu latiore, 

 but distinct from them as well as from all the other species here 

 recorded, on account of the yellow lateral stripe of mesonotum 

 being continued, without interruption, from the humeri to the 

 postalar calli. 



Panay, Antique Province, Batbatan Island (McGregor). 

 Type in my collection. 



Female. — Length of body, 6 millimeters; of ovipositor, 1.5; 

 of wing 5.5. Occiput shining reddish yellow, with a less-distinct 

 fuscous, central patch. Frons proportionately narrow, more 

 than twice as long as broad; entirely reddish yellow, unspotted, 

 being only a little infuscated in middle of anterior half; small 

 ocellar dot black; shining only on sides and at vertex. Lunula 

 reddish. Antennae entirely reddish, as long as face ; third joint 

 as narrow as usual, infuscated at end and at upper border near 

 the end. Face concave, shining yellowish, with two elongate 

 black spots at apical half of antennal grooves; cheeks linear, 

 with white dust; jowls narrower than breadth of third antennal 

 joint, not distinctly spotted. Palpi reddish; proboscis dirty 

 brownish. Cephalic bristles black; only two pairs of lower 

 orbital bristles. 



Mesonotum with a very characteristic pattern: On the back 

 reddish, with a short pale yellowish pubescence; finely pune- 

 tulate and rather shining at sides ; along the middle two opacous, 

 whitish longitudinal stripes, separated by a narrow darkish and 

 shining middle streak, not extending to scutellum; along dor- 

 soccntral lines two shining black longitudinal stripes, one on 

 each side, extending from the black collar to scutellum and united 

 there by a shining black transverse stripe; humeri wholly yel- 

 low; supra-alar yellow stripe broad and continued in front of
