of elytra, acutely angulate at base and apex, widest slightly behind 
middle, there five areolae deep, on same horizontal level as sutural 
area. Metathoracic wings nearly as long as elytra, densely clouded 
with dark fuscous. 
Tyrer: Holotype (female), Surigao, Mindanao, Philippines, C. F. 
Baker, USNM 65122. 
Remarks: This species is very similar in size and form to L. aporia 
Drake from New Guinea, but is separated from it by the flavotes- 
taceous color of costal area, longer rostrum, much smaller occipital 
spines on head, and measurements of third and fourth antennal seg- 
ments (antennal segments III, 60, and IV, 28, in L. aporia).

Sabestena alfierii, new species 
Description: Small, obovate. Head and anterior third of prono- 
tum (anterior row of cells of collar pale) deep black, pronotal dise 
and base of hind projection of pronotum reddish brown, apical half 
of posterior process of pronotum grayish testaceous, elytra cinereous 
testaceous with a few veinlets slightly embrowned, body beneath 
deep black, slightly shining. Antennae with two basal segments 
reddish brown, third segment testaceous, the fourth blackish. Legs 
blackish with femora testaceous. Length 1.00 mm., width of male 
0.80 mm., of female 1.00 mm. 
Head very short, unarmed, sharply declivent, slightly convex above, 
with a wide, shallow, median, longitudinal sulcus on vertex; eyes 
moderately large, rather narrow; antenniferous tubercles short, blunt, 
concave within. Antennae rather slender, short, sparsely clothed with 
short pale setalike pubescence; segmental measurements: I, 7; II, 9; 
III, 30; IV, 14. Legs moderately long, femora slightly swollen, clothed 
with short, pale, setal pubescence. Ostiole and ostiolar sulcus of 
metathoracic scent glands indistinct. Hypocostal laminae narrow, 
composed of a single row of areolae. Labium dark brown, slightly 
passing mesosternum; laminae of buccal and sternal sulci wide, 
areolate, closed in front, open at base of metasternum. 
Pronotum strongly convex, rather smooth, finely deeply punctate, 
unicarinate; median carina percurrent, quite distinct, without cells; 
paranota very narrow, ridgelike, without areolae; collar biseriate, only 
slightly elevated. 
Elytra not wider at base than pronotum, feebly wider across apex 
of hind process of pronotum, convexly narrowed beyond middle; costal 
area very narrow, uniseriate; subcostal area wide, with surface sloping 
slightly convexly downward; discoidal area about two-thirds as long
