P. saccharicida. (*) The male just mentioned agrees with P>red- 

 din's description, whereas the one sent me years ago by the lat- 

 ter was a Dicraiioti'opis, not agreeing with his description. Tlie 

 females then sent l)y Dr. Breddin were true z'astatri.v. 1 he 

 spines cai the "lip" are very long and broad in profile. The geni- 

 tal styles are very remarkaljle. being nuich branched and ap- 

 ])arently somewhat basin-like. The oedeagus seems to emerge 

 nuich nearer the anal tube than usual. The spines from the lat- 

 ter are triangular and rath.er broad Ijasally. 



6. sinensis sp. nov. 

 PI. X, figs. 14-15. 



Male {inacropteroiis) : differs from saecharicida by the strong- 

 ly granulate tegmina and the genitalia. The clypeus is mostly 

 dark brown. The paler and darker hues are brighter and more 

 contrasted. The pygophor has long tusklike spines on the "lip," 

 the genital styles are curiously twisted with a crumpled spine 

 apically, the oedeagus is not unlike that c,f z'itiensis, but rather 

 shorter. The spines on the anal tube are long and sknder. 



Female (braeliypteroiis) : tegmina with pale veins strongl\- 

 granulate with dark brown ; a dark brown spot at the base of the 

 apical cells in the middle and one at the apex of the clavus. 



Length (male) 49/3 (female) 334 mill. 



Hab. China: Wei Chou (Sept., Muir).

This species is nearest to dorsalis (Fitch). The radial vem 

 forks nearer to the base than the brachial, and there are 8 apical 

 cells, the 4th and 7th being pedicellate. 



The male pygophor is emarginate subdorsally and the outline 

 is sinuate. The anal tube has an acute tooth on either side.
