128 Psyche [August 



Danielsea pagei sp. nov. 



Female. Head very dark, covered with dark flat scales except a narrow border 

 of bright ochraceous slender curved scales around the eyes, a small spot of the same 

 at the nape, and bright ochraceous forked scales also at the nape; antennae dark 

 brown, verticels and pubescence brown; palpi short, very dark; proboscis brown, 

 very dark, somewhat swollen at the apex; clypeus brown; eyes dark brown. 



Thorax — prothoracic lobes brown with bright ochraceous curved scales and dark 

 brown bristles; mesonotum brown, covered with dark brown and bright ochraceous 

 slender curved scales, the latter occurring as a very slender line on each side of the 

 ■"bare space" extending cephalad the length of the mesonotum, a broken irregular 

 or curved line exterior to this, and a more or less complete lateral line from the wing 

 joint to the nape, much widened on the cephalad portion; scutellum dark, covered 

 with bright ochraceous slender curved scales except in the middle of each lobe 

 where the scales are dark brown and broader; pleura brown with at least three 

 bunches of white scales; metanotum dark brown. 



Abdomen with dark brown scales, with rather large white lateral spots on the 

 six proximal segments; venter with heavy basal white bands. 



Legs — coxae and trochanters testaceous, the former with white scales; femora 

 dark scaled dorsally, lighter at the bases, and ventral aspect white almost 

 to the apex, more markedly so on the mid and hind legs, otherwise the legs 

 are dark scaled; ungues all uniserrate. 



Wings brown, clear, heavily scaled with brown rather large clavate scales; 1st 

 submarginal longer and about the same width as 2nd posterior, its base interior, 

 and its stem about 2-3 the length of the cell. The stem of the 2nd posterior cell 

 markedly longer than its cell; root of 3rd longitudinal vein meets the mid cross- 

 vein and is of about the same length, the posterior cross-vein about the same 

 length as the mid, and distant twice its own length. Halteres with light stem and 

 fuscous knob.

Kingia gregoryi sp. nov. 



Female. Head black covered with very dark flat round-ended scales, a brilliant 

 white median triangular spot extending from the vertex caudad about half the 

 length of the head, apex caudad, and equally brilliant lateral spots, a few dark bris- 

 tles over the eyes: antennas very dark, verticels dark and probably pubescence also, 

 but it appears white in some lights, basal joint very dark; palpi brown scaled at the 

 base and a very heavy brilliant white tip, probably extending over more than one 

 joint; proboscis broken, what is left is brown scaled, eyes very dark; clypeus 

 testaceous. 



Thorax dark brown covered with dark brown broad curved scales and roundish- 

 flat white ones; prothoracic lobes heavily covered with silver- white scales and a few 

 brown bristles; mesonotum partly denuded but showing very dark broad curved 

 scales over the general surface, a heavy spot of brilliant white round-ended flat
