﻿178 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MTJSEUIVI vol. 102 



Fore femora furnished below with loose yellowish hairs, at base of 

 femora twice as long as width of femur, but rapidly becoming shorter 

 until they give out at mid-femur. 



Copulatory fork in figure 74, ^, the right arm apparently broken 

 off. 



Type.— Holotype-j male, U. S. N. M. No. 58984, Caroline Islands : 

 Yap Island, near Yaptown, July 14, 1946 (H. K. Townes No. 1239) . 



RemarJcs. — ^This species is apparently near Euryhata cuneifrons 

 De Meijere and E. petasiharha Enderlein, as keyed in Hennig (1935, 

 p. 301), but the "wedge-shaped spot on the hind margin of the meso- 

 pleura" is here a slender stripe. The pale general color and the 

 wholly hyaline wings are distinctive. 



Genus GONGYLOCEPHALA Czerny 



19. GONGYLOCEPHALA PALLIDA LUZONICA, new subspecies 



Gongylooephala pallida Steyskal, Occas. Pap. Mus. Zool. Univ. Michigan, No. 

 502, p. 4, 1947. 



Male and female. — Subspecies agrees with G. pallida (Guadalcanal, 

 Solomon Islands), except that base of fore tibiae is not brownish, but 

 tibiae are uniformly yellow ; middle tibiae are uniformly dark brown, 

 not grading to yellow basally; fore femora are a little darker than 

 tibiae in well-preserved specimens and hind tibiae are a little darkened 

 basally ; whitish fascia of wing is quite straight ; male copulatory fork 

 Hii in G. pallida. 



Types. — Holotype male, allotype, female, and four male and two 

 female paratypes, U.S.N.M. No. 58306, Philippine Islands: Luzon 

 (Mount Maquiling), Baker collector. 



Genus NESTIMA Osten-Sacken 



20. NESTIMA POLITA Osten-Sacken 



'Nestima poUta Osten-Sacken, Ann. Mus. Geneva, vol. 16, p. 458, 1880. — Henniq, 

 Konowia, vol. 14, p. 308, 1935. 



New Guinea: Nadzab (Markham River Valley), May 4, 1944 

 (K. V. Krombein), one female. 



Although the two known species of Nestima, ;V. polita Osten- 

 Sacken, and N. prolixa (Walker), are both inadequately described, 

 I believe that the above specimen agrees well enough with Osten- 

 Sacken's description to make the determination. There must remain 

 some doubt as to the identity of the following forms, described as 

 new, but I feel certain that they are specifically distinct.
