(2) H. saccliarivora Kirk. ( ? ). 



This species has the vertex somewhat elevated hut there is 

 no angulation between vertex and face ; the last abdominal ven- 

 tral plate produced angularly in middle half, without groove 

 down middle ; anterior genital styles shorter and not so pointed 

 as in paniassius. 



(3) //. lalokciisis sp. nov. ( S 9 ). 



Head in profile with vertex and face forming one curve, an- 

 tennae nearly as long as head, broad, flattened. Male genital 

 styles about three times as long as broad, subparallel sided, 

 slightly angular in middle, apex with small, curved point, anal 

 segment with a downward curved point at apex ; sides of pygo- 

 phor acutely angularly produced. The last abdominal ventral 

 plate of female with hind margin widely angularly produced, with 

 a deep medial groove down apical third. Stramineous ; tegmina 

 and wings hyaline with yellow veins, subopaque with waxy secre- 

 tion ; two circular broad yellowish bands across tegmina, the first 

 passing over the median crossvein and the other over the bases 

 of second and third median sectors ; irregular yellowish spots in 

 apical cells and on basal third. 



Length 2.3 mm. ; tegmen 5.4 mm. 



Habitat : Laloki. 



Platoccra gen. nov. 



Type anil 111 i pes. 



In profile head conically projecting at junction of vertex and 

 face ; vertex ascending, face gradually curved ; gena at middle of 

 face about half the width of an eye. Vertex narrow, acutely an- 

 gular, base roundly excavate, not keeled, keels along lateral mar- 

 gins deep, meeting at apex, beset with wax pits ; face very nar- 

 row, keels contiguous to near apex ; clypeus large, rounded, ob- 

 scurely tricarinate ; antennae very large, flat, thin, subequal in 

 width throughout, truncate at apex, conspicuously angularly bent 

 at base, forming a disk-like base at right angles to distal portion ; 

 ])ronotum very short, no shoulder keels ; scutellum distinctly 

 shorter than broad, lateral angles situated behind middle, without 

 carinae. Neuration of tegmina near Ilcronax. first median sec- 

 tor leaving media at junction of media and radia. Xipliadodite 

 Kirk, was founded u]:)on a unicjue which is missing from the 

 collection. It appears to be near this genus, especially to nigro- 

 frons.
