Genus Ulonemia Drake and Poor 
Ulonemia Drake and Poor, Philippine Journ. Sci., vol. 62, No. 1, p. 3, 1937. 
Ulonemia plesia, new species 
DescrirTIon: Obiong ovate, brownish testaceous with pronotal 
disc pale brown, without elytral markings, abdomen beneath flavous- 
brown, and thoracic sterna dark ferrugineous. Antennae pale testa- 
ceous, with first two segments dark brown or ferrugineous and last 
segment mostly brown. Legs testaceous. Length 3.45 mm., width 
1.25 mm. 
Head very short, strongly declivent; eyes moderately large, reddish 
fuscous; occipital spines longer than median and frontal spines, sub- 
porrect, median spine erect and placed near middle of vertex; bucculae 
long, parallel, open in front, with a distinct tooth at inferoanterior 
angle, mostly biseriate, uniseriate posteriorly; antenniferous tubercles 
short, blunt, concave within, not spinelike. Antennae moderately 
long, slender, indistinctly pubescent; segmental measurements: I, 
20; II, 9; III, 84; IV, 25. Labium extending slightly beyond middle 
of mesosternum; sternal laminae of rostral sulcus uniseriate, open 
behind. Hypocostal laminae narrow, uniseriate, areolae ovate. 
Metathoracie scent glands with ostiole and ostiolar sulcus on each 
metapleuron. 
Pronotum moderately convex, coarsely punctate, each carina 
composed of one row of rather small, ovate areolae; lateral carinae 
slightly convergent anteriorly, shghtly convex within on pronotal 
disc, all carinae equally raised; coilar raised, with a small, pyriform 
hood; paranotum not very wide, uniseriate opposite humeri, thence 
anteriorly largely biseriate; calli deeply impressed, impunctate. 
Elytra very little wider than abdomen, subequal in width to widest 
part of pronotum, sutural areas overlapping in repose; costal area 
not very wide, uniseriate, areolae small and ovate; subcostal area 
nearly erect, biseriate; discoidal area extending backward beyond 
middle of elytron, seven areolae deep in widest part; sutural area 
with larger areolae, on same horizontal level as discoidal area. Hind 
wings fully developed, dark fuscous. 
Typrs: Holotype (female) and 4 female paratypes, Swan River, 
Western Australia, L. J. Newman (Hacker Collection), all macrop- 
terous, USNM 65120. 
Remarks: This species is slightly larger, but very similar in general 
aspect to U. mjobergi (Horvath). It differs from the latter in having 
wider paranota, wider costal areas of the elytra, and more elevated 
pronotal carinae. The areolae of these structures are hardly more 
than half as large as those in mpobergqi.
