on posterior process ; posterior process thick and heavy at base, sharp median 

 and lateral carinx, strongly curved downward, gradually acuminate, reaching 

 to a point midway between internal angle and apex of tegmina. Tegmina 

 densely black for basal two thirds with large trifoliate white spot on this 

 region, base punctate ; apical third yellowish-hyaline ; tip fuscous. Wings 

 with three apical areas. Underside of body, femora, tibise and tarsi jet black. 

 Sides of meso and metathorax with thick silvery pubescence. Type, female. 

 Length 8 mm. ; width, 4 mm. 



Locality : Mt. Makiling, Philippine Islands. Collected by Pro- 

 fessor C. F. Baker. 



Size of G. majuscula Dist., but very distinct in markings and 

 particularly in the peculiar shape of the posterior process of the 

 pronotum. May be easily recognized by its large size and by the large 

 trifoliate white spot on the tegmina. 



4. Gargara attenuata new species. 



Very dark chocolate brown ; finely punctate and sparingly pubescent. Head 

 almost as long as wide, slightly rugose, distinct median ridge, pubescence 

 thicker than on pronotum above; eyes yellowish, somewhat mottled with 

 brown ; ocelli pearly white, farther from each other than from the eyes, sit- 

 uated well above a line drawn through center of eyes. Pronotum smooth, 

 convex, marked with a black semicircle above each eye, no median carina 

 except on posterior process ; posterior process suddenly acuminate at apex, 

 sharply carinate above, curved slightly downward at extreme tip, extending 

 just beyond internal angle of tegmina. Tegmina subhyaline, clouded with 

 ferruginous just behind middle, tip fuscous ; \eins bordered with fine hairs. 

 Under surface of body and femora, except tips, deep brown. Extremities of 

 femora light, tibiae and tarsi light ferruginous, claws brown. Type, female. 

 Male slightly smaller and darker. Length, female, 3.4 mm.; width, 1.5 mm. 



Locality : Banguey Island. 



Near G. rohusta Dist., but smaller, differs in the length and sha])e 

 of the posterior process and in the fact that the base of the tegmina 

 is not punctate. 



I have specimens from this same locality which I determine as 

 Gargara affin'is Dist., described from Bombay (Dixon), Tcnasserim, 

 Calcutta and Myitta (Doherty), and Gargara robusta Dist., described 

 from Kurseong, both of which are close to the above species. 



5. Gargara minuta new species. 



Small; l)lack ; shining; coarsely punctured; very sparsely pubescent. Head 

 longer than broad, clypeus produced for half its length beyond the line of the 

 cheeks; eyes clear translucent white; ocelli pearly white. Pronotum convex 

 in front ; median carina apparent only on posterior process ; posterior process
