HOMONEURA (HOMONEURA) DIACROSTICHALIS, new name 



This is a new name for Lauxania 77ionticola de Meijere, which is 

 pre-empted by Homoneura monticola Melander, a North American 

 species, described as a Minettia. 



HOMONEURA (HOMONEURA) PHILIPPINENSIS, new species 



A small yellow species with a pair of black spots on fifth abdom- 

 inal tergite, and hyaline wings. The presence of one or two pairs of 

 distinct postsutural acrostichals besides the prescutellar pair, and 

 the structure of the hypopygium (fig. 56) should readily distinguish 

 it from all its allies. 



Length 2.5 mm. 



Type. — Philippines. 



HOMONEURA (HOMONEURA) PUBISETA (Kertesz) 



Lauxania puMseta Kebtesz, Termeszetrajzi Fuzetck, vol. 23, p. 262, 1900. 



This species has usually three dark spots on fifth tergite and two or 

 three on sixth in both sexes. The general characters are similar to 

 those of pMlippinensis but the apical processes of seventh tergite are 

 remarkably long and slender (Fig. 57), and when at rest they cross 

 each other on center and project even beyond the sides of abdomen. 



Length, 3 mm. 



Originally described from New Guinea. I have it from Palmers- 

 ton, N. Australia (D. E. I.). 



HOMONEURA (HOMONEURA) PADANGENSIS (de Meijere) 



Lauxmia padangensis de Meijebe, Tijdschr. v. Ent., vol. 58, p. 91 1915. 

 This species is shininir testaceous in color, with a black spot on 

 some of the tergites of apical half of abdomen, usually from third to 

 sixth in female and third to fifth in male. The wings are yellowish, 

 with four pale-brown clouds much as in jacohsonl, one over outer cross 

 vein, the others on apical sections of veins 2 to 4, inclusive, those on 

 the third and fourth veins not, or hardly, extending to apices of veins.
