but I doubt if it is possible to distinguish it as a dis- 
tinct form.

Mantispa annulicornis Gerstaecker, Mitt, naturw. Ver. Neu-Vorpomm. und Rügen, 
XXV, p. 151 (1893). Java. 
Very similar to amabilis, but distinct from it in the 
following points: 
Somewhat larger and generally paler coloured. Antennae 
consisting of 32 joints, black, an annulus of 4 joints before 
the tip testaceous; basal joints testaceous. 
Head testaceous, a brown point on the labrum, another 
below and above the antennae and two on the vertex, but 
never a black stripe on the face. The prothorax has the same 
form and the sides of it are brown, but at the foreborder 
they are separated by a narrow yellow line in the middle 
and they never include a yellow crescent. On the back 
of the thorax there is a continuous yellow middleline and 
on the abdomen, the sides of the tergits are yellow and 
only two yellow points on’the hindborder of it. The legs 
are yellow, without dark ring at the femora. The wings 
are larger, the costalveins are six or some more. There are 
10 discalcells with more curved crossveins and between 
radius and radialsector the first and second are equal in 
breadth, the third narrower and about one fourth longer. 
Most of the marginal veins are furcated, so that they are 
much more numerous than in amabilis. 
Body 12—15 mm., forew. 101—15 mm., hindw. 9{—11 mm. 
Abd. 5—8 mm, gr. br. 3—3! mm, gr. br. 23—3 mm. 
Habitat: Java and Bawean. 
I examined the type from West Java, a specimen from 
Semarang (Edw. Jacobson) and Hast Java (Mulié) and 
one from Bawean, captured in the wet season (Fruhstorfer), 
coll. v. d. Weele.
