A REMARKABLE MONOPHLEBINE COCCID FROM THE 



PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. 



BY T. D. A. COCKERELL, BOULDER, COLORADO. 



A few months ago Prof. C. F. Baker sent me a box of Philip- 

 pine insects, among which I was surprised to see a male Mono- 

 phlebid, remarkable for having the costal area of the wings broadly 

 bright red. This feature has long been known to occur in a 

 species, Monophkhtis raddoniWestwood, from the Gold Coast, W. 

 Africa. The Philippine insect is readily known from the African 

 one by the longer caudal appendages. 



Llaveia sanguinea, n. sp. 



Male. — Length about 5 mm.; length of wings about 7; an- 

 tennae rather thick, middle joints with three whorls of long reddish 

 hairs; eyes dark red, strongly facetted, very prominent, on stout 

 stalks, like a young mushroom; behind each eye is a prominent 

 shining red tubercle; anterior part of thorax dull black, forming a 

 lobe extending over head ; posteriorly to this the thorax is shining 

 black, with a broad transverse bracket-shaped reddish-ochreous 

 band; abdomen broad, red, with six long fleshy processes, all 

 much more than half as long as breadth of abdomen, the termin- 

 al ones longest, but not very much so; penis long, with a very 

 large raspberry-pink knob; legs red, hairy; wings ample, black 

 with the two hyaline lines as usual, but the extreme base, and the 

 costal region very broadly to within about L75 mm. of apex, very 

 bright red.
