described in the notata group). Spermathecae (fig. 73c) ovoid with 

 distinct funnel-shaped necks, usually intensely sclerotized; measuring 

 0.067 mm by 0.054 mm and 0.061 mm by 0.051 mm. Genital sclerotiza- 

 tion as in figure 73d. 



Male. — Length of wing 1.47 (1.34-1.58, n=15) mm. Similar to 

 the female with the usual sexual differences; abdomen (fig. 73/) 

 dorsally with II unspotted, rarely with a median clouding, median 

 and submedian marks on IV fused in a quadrate pattern containing 

 1 or 2 pairs of small pale spots; pattern on V and VI simulates that on 

 IV, but fainter. Genitalia as in figure 73g-h; tergum IX elongate, 

 subquadrate with rounded apicolateral corners; basistyle with large 

 mesal swelling on proximal half, distal portion slender; dististyle 

 elongate, nearly as long as basistyle, gradually tapered to apex; 

 paramere slender and straight, weakly sclerotized, the tip slender 

 and abruptly bent mesad; aedeagal sclerites stouter and shorter than 

 paramere.

Discussion. — This species and jestiva Kieffer are the commonest 

 and most widespread of the Notata Group in the Orient. The larger, 

 paler notata is not so widespread as j 'estiva, and, except for Macfie's 

 (1934) record from Malaya, records attributed to notata are mostly 

 erroneous. Tokunaga's (1940) records of notata from Japan and 

 Taiwan mention features of scutal and abdominal coloration which 

 would apply only to males of this species. We believe that Tokunaga's 

 (1959, 1963) New Guinea records only partially apply to notata. 

 Johannsen's notata var. perspicua (1931) probably belongs in notata, 

 and we consider the morphological variation on which the variety 

 is based of little significance. We do not agree with Tokunaga (1940)
