REVISION OF SPECIES OF STILOBEZZIA KIEFFER 



123 



Murachi's (1959) description of a female, esakii Tokunaga, that 

 batonnets are mentioned on tarsomere V of the fore leg only; in the 

 absence of female specimens from Micronesia, we are unable to verify 

 this unusual condition for the group and suspect it is an error of 

 observation. The allotype male of esakii in the USNM collection 

 agrees in all respects with subviridis. Tokunaga's (1962) description 

 of subviridis from the Ryukyu Islands may possibly refer to another 

 species, since he mentions the presence of a second small round color- 

 less spermatheca.
