hibisci, but is broader winged, and has more strongly serrate-fasciculate 

 antennae, almost pectinate, as mentioned in the description. 



T. saleppa Smith (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, XXXIII, p. 132, 1907.)— 

 Described from Wellington and Victoria, B. C , as a close ally of prceses 

 Grt. Prof. Smith has in his collection two short series as prases and 

 saleppa, including the type of the former, and B. C. specimens under both. 

 Those under saleppa are paler and more ochreous than the rest, but I am 

 unable to recognize two species, and do not think that B. C. collectors 

 can do so either.

In an article published last year* I described the female of 

 Oculiomyia Fulleri mihi, and since then have received several specimens 

 of each sex. The male resembles the female closely in colour markings, 

 but it is of some interest to note that in each of the three males the verti- 

 cels of the antennae are in part specially developed. In one instance the 

 6th and 7th joints show them short, heavy, wrinkled and scale-like ; on the 

 other two specimens the 6th, 7th and 8ih joints have the verticels altered 

 in this way, while in one of these, on one antenna, the verticels at one 

 joint appear as long slenderly spatulate flat scales about half as long as 

 the normal verticels. The specimens are, as a whole, in bad condition, 

 only one leg remaining on the males, and as it broke off before I noticed 

 its attachment I cannot be sure which it is ; the ungues on it are unequal 

 ami simple. 



There have also been received two apparently new forms, described 

 below, and the female of Popea hitea mihi, the male of which was 

 describedf in 1905, and no other specimens received until this year. 



Popea lutea mihi (female). 



The general markings agree well with those of the males, but are, as a 

 whole, darker. 



Antennae brown, white, unsealed at the joints, basal joint testaceous, 

 1st joint with many dark brown flat scales, verticels and pubescence 

 brown or light, according to the direction of the light ; palpi short ;
