ABT. 25 INSECTS OF ORDEE. TEICHOPTERA MAETYNOV 15 



Remarks. — The structure of the female genital segments proves 

 that this is rather closely related to P. minor Martynov ^ from Kham, 

 but distinct. Subgenital apparatus, supragenital plate, and the tenth 

 segment are very much as in minor., but in this species the hind 

 margins of the tenth segment do not form oval convexities belovp the 

 apical processes, being invariably concave; the supragenital plate is 

 also somewhat different. The male of minor unfortunately is un- 

 knoAvn. 



Type.— Male, U.S.N.M. No. 43159. 



Specimens examined. — Two males and five females, from Yellow 

 Dragon Temple, near Songpan (11,000 to 14,000 feet), July 20-28, 

 1924. 



Genus NOTOPSYCHE Banks 



NOTOPSYCHE RHOMBIFERA, new species 



Plate 4, Figures 45, 46 



Desd^ption. — Male: Head, mesothorax, and metathorax black, pro- 

 thorax reddish yellow ; legs blackish brown, with yellow hairs ; spurs 

 yellow. Palpi, both pairs, long, black; basal joint short, second and 

 third long. Anterior wings brownish, with brownish veins; ptero- 

 stigmal region darker. Venation as in Notopsyche nigripes Marty- 

 nov; discoidal cell long; fourth apical cell limited by an erect (not 

 oblique) cross vein at its base, and nearly equal in breadth to the 

 second one; fifth cell acute at its base. In the posterior wings the 

 discoidal cell is also long. Membrane granulose. 



Eighth tergite with a long median projection; preanal appendages 

 concealed in its interior, but apparently high, as in 7iigHpes. In- 

 ferior appendages in the form of two large, rhomboidal plates, 

 clothed with hairs. Penis thick, broad; titillators strongly thick- 

 ened in their basal portions, then rod-shaped, with thickened apices; 

 they are thicker than in nigripes. Length of body, 8 mm. ; expanse, 

 23 to 24 mm. 



Remarks. — This species is allied to N. rufcoJlis Ulmer, N. nigripes 

 Martynov, and N. intermedia Martynov, from which it differs chiefly 

 by longer inferior appendages and by thicker titillators. 



Ty^e.— Male, U.S.N.M. No. 43162. 



Specimens examined. — Two males, from Suif u, Szechwan, Novem- 

 ber-December, 1923.
