Heriades sauteri philippinensis (Friese). 
Philippine Islands; the type from Los Banos. A female 
from Manila (Robert Brown) is in U.S. Nat. Museum.

Described from Singapore, but I cannot distinguish a 
specimen from Pelaboean Ratoe, Java (Bryant & Palmer), in 
U.S. Nat. Museum. 
The black tegulee distinguish it from 7. dridépennis, Smith,

are fuliginous.

Bantar, Gebang, Java (Bryant & Palmer). U.S. Nat.

Flalictus leviventris, Pérez, 
Tokyo, Japan (Sasaki, 149). 
Pérez says this is of the size of 7. fallax, which would be
