with a small dark spot at its apex and one near its base; there are light spots at the 
fourchette of each ford cell; the stem and lower fork of the fifth long vein are mostly 
light with a dark spot at its apex, and one at the base of the cell; the distal half of 
the upper fork of the fifth long vein is white with a very small dark spot at the very 
apex, the sixth vein is dark; the wing-fringe is dark except for light spot at the 
apices of all the long veins but the second and sixth. MHalteres with light stem 
and dark knob. 
Length: about 3mm. 
Habitat: Camp Wilhelm, Tayabas, P. I. 
Taken: November. 
I am indebted to Dr. Malcolm Watson, Klang, F. M.5., for call- 
ing my attention to this species. The wing and palpal markings 
greatly resemble the dark form of funesta, and with the hand lens 
the light proboscis is not sufficiently marked to call attention to it, 
and I had laid it aside as being probably this form of a species so 
common on the Philippine Islands. 
Popea palawanensis sp. noy. 
Female: Head black, mostly covered with dark brown flat scales, a white border 
around the eyes, and a narrow median portion of curved scales, white at the vertex 
and brown at the nape; antenne dark brown, verticels and pubescence brown, 
basal joint dark with a few slender hair-like brown scales on the median aspect; 
palpi about one fourth the length of the proboscis, dark brown; proboscis dark 
brown, eyes dark brown; clypeus brown. 
Thorax dark; prothoracic lobes heavily covered with white flat scales and dark 
brown chet; mesonotum dark brown with silvery white slender curved scales 
very closely set to form a white spot covering the cephalic third, the caudad edge 
is irregular, and reminds one of the “solid W” described for Lepidotomyia magna 
Theo; the remainder of the mesonotum covered with slender curved, rich, dark 
brown scales, except an irregular white spot just cephalad of the wing joint, and 
white scales forming a line around and extending on the “bare space’’; Scutellum 
dark, partly denuded, the mid-lobe having a few white flat scales in the median line, 
a few white rather broad curved scales laterad of the flat ones, and then brown 
curved scales. The lateral lobes are denuded, except for one white and a few brown 
curved scales. There have apparently been five marginal cheetze on the mid and 
three on the lateral lobes; pleura dark brown with five or six large bunches of silvery 
- white flat scales; metanotum dark. 
Abdomen covered with dark brown scales except for rather heavy basal lateral 
brilliant white spots. On the venter are also heavy basal brilliant white spots 
sometimes extending as basal white bands, and there are on several segments, 
bunches of very long brown scales, so much constricted on the basal part as to appear 
almost petioled. 
Legs brown; cox and trochanters testaceous with a few white scales; the fore 
femora white on the ventral aspect nearly to the apex, fore tibia brown only on the 
dorsal aspect, the ventral and lateral aspects brilliantly yellowish white; all the tarsi
