 sclerotized, with short slender necks, slightly unequal, measuring 

 0.066 mm by 0.049 mm and 0.053 mm by 0.049 mm. Genital scleroti-

 short rounded tergum IX and short basistyle; basidorsal process 

 narrow at base; dististyle as long as basistyle, narrowed in mid- 

 portion; aedeagal sclerites slender at base, moderately stout distally 

 with caplike tip; paramere as long as aedeagal sclerite, broad and 

 well-sclerotized distally, curving gradually to distomesal point. 



Distribution.- — Malaya. 



Types.- — Holotype female, allotype male, Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, 

 Malaya, Aug.-Sept. 1958, R. Traub, light trap (USNM 69473). 

 Paratypes, 2 males, 1 female, same data. 



Additional specimens. — MALAYA: Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, 

 Aug. 1958, R. Traub, 2 males (alcohol). 



Discussion.' — This species is the only Oriental species in the 

 Notata Group which we have examined that possesses batonnets on 

 the fifth tarsomere of the hind leg. In two other respects it is also not 

 typical of this group— the short third palpal segment and the uniform 

 infuscation of the hind femur. Scuta!, wing, and abdominal patterns
