necting spot between lower branch of radial fork and the median vein, two 

 transverse spots on the hind margin, one at the end of the anal vein, the other 

 some distance before it, and a small mark on the median vein some distance 

 before the discal cell; venation dark, fork of radial sector and lower side of 

 the discal cell pale. The stigma is rather shorter and higher than in P. lem- 

 niscatus, but not as high as in P. borneensis, and is right-angled behind. The 

 discal cell is much longer than broad, narrowed below; the posterior cells 

 subequal, the areola postica broad above, and the fork of radial sector about 

 twice as long as the pedicel. 



Length of female to tip of wings 5 mm. 



Psocus PARiSHi, nov. sp. 



Type.— M. C. Z. 10,805. Peru: Lima, 21-31 August; Chosica, 

 7 July (H. S. Parish). 



Pale, marked with brown; vertex with a median brown spot behind; face 

 with three small dark spots, nose faintly lineate, the dark forming a large spot 

 below; antennae dark, second joint pale; hairs moderately short; legs pale, 

 femur dark just before the tip; thorax with the usual lobes dark, the median 

 lobe traversed by a pale median line; abdomen brown. Wings hyaline; 

 stigma dark, its bordering veins pale, other veins mostly dark, the discal cell 

 white at lower angle and the lower part of outer side, and the fork of radial 

 sector white as usual, and moreover aU of the apical branches are white in the 

 middle parts of their length, and very plainly dark and dark bordered at ends. 

 There are small dark clouds in many of the cells, and larger marks at the anal 

 angle and just before the discal cell. The stigma is fully twice as long as 

 broad, hardly angulate behind. The discal cell touches the radial sector at 

 one point, its outer side concave. 



Length 3.5 mm. 



Psocus AZTECANUS, nOV. Sp. 



Type.— M. C. Z. 10,802. Peru: Lima, 12-30 August (H. S. 

 Parish). 



Pale, marked with brown; nose densely lineate, vertex with a median dark 

 stripe reaching to the ocelli, and a dark spot each side near the eye; antennae 

 dark, short-haired; thorax brown, the sutures pale; abdomen brown; legs 

 pale, the tarsi rather darker; wings hyaline, stigma dark, pale at the base, 

 veins brown, the lower part of the discal cell, and the forking of the radial 

 sector whitish hyaline; a small dark spot at the end qi the anal vein; discal 

 cell long and narrow, its basal side convex, connected to the radial sector by a
