expaiidfd. Uniformly light yt'llow; tegmina hyaline, slightly white ami 

 opaque with waxy secretion, veins light yellow; wings hyaline, opaquely 

 white with waxy secretion, veins yellowish. 



Female. Length 1.7 mm.; tegmen 3.4 mm. Pregenital plate wider 

 than long, quadrate, slightly emarginate apically; styles fairly large, 

 ])rojecting beyond the small anal segment. Color as in male. 



Described from two males and one female from Tntuila, 

 from ICOO to 2000 feet elevation (Kellers, April and vSeptember, 

 1918). Type No. 1009. This miyht easily be placed in a new 

 genus judging by the venation, but I prefer to [)lace it in 

 Meenophis until the grouji is revised. The species is named 

 after the ill-fated De Langle of the .Vstrolabe. who was killed 

 at Tntuila in 1788. 



Xisia alroieiiosa has been reported from such widely 

 separated places as Madagascar, India and Australia, but an 

 examination of the genitalia of si)ecimens from Formosa and 

 Australia shows specific differences. It is, therefore, possible 

 that there are several species standing under this name. I 

 have no males from Ceylon, so cannot say which are the typical 

 genitalia. 



ACIIILIDAI-:. 

 Eurynomeus granulatus s]i. n. Figs. 1, a, b, e, d. 



This species conforms to the generic type with the exception that 

 there are four branches to tlie media, and i)i some specimens the first 

 branch is furcate at apex, making five apical median veins. 



^lale. Length 4 mm., tegmen 4. .5 mm. Cinnamon, liuflf or clay color, 

 darker o\er mesonotum. Tegmina thickly covered with light granules, 

 most numerous basad of cross veins, darker bands across tegmina, one 

 from costa to middle of hind margin of clavus, another from costa to 

 ajiex of clavus and a very light one over cross \(>ins; these bands fade 

 out on some specimens; wings dark fuscous with dark bi'own \eins. 



The male genitalia of Achilidae are conqdex and have never been 

 adequately described so far as I am aware. The pygofer of this sjiecies 

 is comparatively short dorsally and laterally, Init longer ventrally where 

 the median ])ortion of the hind margin is produced into two ('at, 

 pointed processes. The lateral edges being sl'ghtly eniarginati' ; the 

 anal segment is flat, l)roadly rotundate with Ihe ajicx emarginate, aiui.-i 

 distad of middle, anal style subovate; genital styles huge, narrowest 

 at base, broadest at apex where the ujiper or outer angle is produced, 

 curved, and turned inwai'd as two small ]M)iids, another i-nwnrdly curved 

 point nearer the middle, the inner angle i-oundly produced, the outer 

 margin is thickened ;iiid from near the middle rises a long, curved.
