cloniinal segment broader than long ; anal segment broadest 

 slightly beyond base, pointed at apex, sides curved, anus near 

 base, the previous segment being produced in middle over the base 

 of anal tube into a small rounded process. Two specimens from 

 Roban. Java. 



Pcggiopsis gen. nov. 



Type nifiis. 



Antennae longer than head and thorax together, flat, upper edge 

 of apex slightly emarginate where seta situated, narrowed at base, 

 margins thicker than disk ; vertex and face perceptibly below the 

 level of the eyes, which are round and bulging ; clypeus longer 

 than face, narrow, tricarinate. Pronotum and scutellum as in 

 Zoraida, the scutellum being distinctly tricarinate. Cubitus fur- 

 cate, media with five sectors, the first furcate and joined to the 

 cubitus, its base appearing as median cross-vein. Hind tibiae 

 with a minute basal, large sub-apical and one large and three 

 small apical spines. This genus appears to be very near to Pcggia 

 Kirk. (Ncbrissa Stal), but the round bulging eyes, sunken face 

 and the distinct tricarinate scutellum distinctly separates it. 



( 1 ) P. nifa sp. nov. ( c5 9 ) . 



Light red, eyes and tips of genital styles black ; tegmina and 

 wings hyaline with reddish-brown veins, costal and lower portion 

 of radial cells yellowish, the narrow subcostal cell fuscous. Ven- 

 tro-median edge of pygophor produced into a truncate-tipped pro- 

 cess, the base nearly twice as broad as tip, the sides slightly sinu- 

 ous, the base in profile gibbous ; anal segment as long as styles, 

 subspatulate, the base being constricted below anus ; genital styles 

 very narrow at base, gradually widening to the nearly truncate 

 apex, the upper corner of which is produced into a small rounded 

 process which is turned inward, near the base of upper edge there 

 is a small spine. 



Female with last abdominal plate longer than broad, hind mar- 

 gin broadly, angularly produced ; between the plate and the gen- 

 ital styles there projects a small conical-shaped plate; anal seg- 

 ment nearly as wide as long, ovate in outline, with a small emar- 

 gination at apex, anus situated at base. The one female speci- 

 men from Amboina has a much deeper emargination at apex of 

 anal segment, and the small ventral plate between last segment 

 and styles is more ]:)ointed. I expect the male will show it to be a 

 distinct species. 



Length 3.6 mm. ; tcgmcn ').S mm. 



Habitat : Piroe, Amboina.
