1 ^ and 3 $ $ (and 1 larva) sent from Tainau, Formosa ; 

 found on Miniopterus schreihersii (H. Sauter), Type $ and 

 the other specimens in the Cambridge Museum. The $ 

 is here described for the first time, only the $ having been 

 known hitherto. 



Dr. P. Speiser informs me, after examining some of the 

 specimens, that they belong to the species regarded by him 

 as P. jenynsi, and described by him (/. c.) under that name. 

 As Westwood's type of P. jenynsi unfortunately cannot be 

 found, it has not been possible to make a comparison in 

 order to ascertain whether the form under consideration 

 is certainly identical with the P. jenynsi of Westwood. 



The colour of the firmly cliitinised parts is rather pale yellowish- 

 brown. Both sexes agree with Sj^eiser's description in the following 

 particulars : length about 2'5 mm. ; head with numerous strong 

 bristles between the eyes : the bristles continue down the margins of, 

 but are absent from the surface of, the cheeks ; maxillary palps with 

 numerous strong bristles, the terminal ones very long ; under surface 

 of thorax * mai'kedly curved in the longitudinal direction, with a 

 dark middle line somewhat impressed at the ends. The legs are as 

 described by Speiser. 



* The curvature of the surface renders it hard to estimate correctly 

 the proportion of length to breadth. In the table given by Speiser 

 {op. cit., p. 66) P. jenynsi is placed in a section of the genus in which 

 the thorax is longer tlinn broad. In the specimens from Formosa 

 the breadth appears at any rate equal to, if not slightly greater than, 

 the length.
