doniinal segment broader than long"; anal segment broadest 

 slightly beyond base, pointed at apex, sides curved, anus near 

 base, the previous segment being produced in middle over the base 

 of anal tube into a small rounded process. Two specimens from 

 Roban, Java. 



Pcggiopsis gen. nov. 



Type nifiis. 



x^ntennae longer than head and thorax together, flat, upper edge 

 of apex slightly emarginate where seta situated, narrowed at base, 

 margins thicker than disk ; vertex and face perceptibly below the 

 level of the eyes, which are round and bulging; clypeus longer 

 than face, narrow, tricarinate. Pronotum and scutellum as in 

 Zoraido, the scutellum being distinctly tricarinate. Cubitus fur- 

 cate, media with five sectors, the first furcate and joined to the 

 cubitus, its base appearing as median cross-vein. Hind tibiae 

 with a minute basal, large sub-apical and one large and three 

 small apical spines. This genus appears to be very near to Pcggia 

 Kirk. (A^ebrissa Stal), but the round bulging eyes, sunken face 

 and the distinct tricarinate scutellum distinctly separates it. 



(1 ) P. nifa sp. nov. ((??). 



Light red, eyes and tips of genital styles black ; tegmina and 

 wings hyaline with reddish-brown veins, costal and lower portion 

 of radial cells yellowish, the narrow subcostal cell fuscous. Ven- 

 tro-median edge of pygophor produced into a truncate-tipped pro- 

 cess, the base nearly twice as broad as tip, the sides slightly sinu- 

 ous, the base in profile gibbous ; anal segment as long as styles, 

 subspatulate, the iDase being constricted below anus ; genital styles 

 very narrow at base, gradually widening to the nearly truncate 

 apex, the upper corner of which is produced into a small rounded 

 process which is turned inward, near the l^ase of up])er edge there 

 is a small spine. 



Female with last abdominal plate longer than broad, hind mar- 

 gin broadly, angularly produced ; between the plate and the gen- 

 ital styles there projects a small conical-shaped plate ; anal seg- 

 ment nearly as wide as long, ovate in outline, with a small emar- 

 gination at apex, anus situated at l)ase. The one female speci- 

 men from Amboina has a much deeper emargination at apex of 

 anal segment, and the small ventral plate between last segment 

 and styles is more ])ointc(l. T expect the male will show it to l)c a 

 distinct species. 



Length 3.6 mm. ; tcgmcn '^S mm. 



Habitat : Piroe. Amboina.
