S. suhtuberosa is also interesting as an apparent link connectiag 

 the tuherosa and liaemorrhoidalis groups of Bottcher.^ The penis 

 and genital sfigments are similar to those of the tuherosa subspecies 

 of the tuherosa group and the fifth ventral plate is like that of Jiarpax 

 and tuherosa. The smgle row of black cilia behind the eyes, the 

 white vestiture on the posterior portion of the cheek, and the undi- 

 vided nature of the fii^st genital segment of the female all suggest 

 the liaemorrJioidalis group (S. Jiaemorrhoidalis Fallen, S. ruficornis 

 Wiedemann, S.folculata Pandelle, S. securifera Villeneuve, etc.) 



Three of the female paratypes are from the Philippine Islands, 

 two bear the accession number 1312 (B. Arce, collector), and the 

 other 1306. The allotype is also from the Philippines and is labeled 

 "Ace. No. Bur. Agr. P. I." The remaining female paratypes are 

 from Guam (collector D. T. Fulloway). Females from the Philippines 

 have the first genital segment a dull brownish orange (possibly due to 

 imperfectly hardened reared material), those from Guam have this 

 segment deep brown or blackish.

Length. — ^9-10 mm. 



Male, liead. — Viewed from side parafrontals and genae with 

 dark reflections, transverse impression with a brownish tinge. 

 Breadth of front at narrowest part about three -sevenths that of 

 eye (exactly in three specimens measured); cheek height approxi- 

 mately one-fifth that of eye. Front prominent; frontal vitta at 

 narrowest part of front about twice as wide as each parafrontal, 

 its sides very slightly converging backward. Second antennal 

 segment dark; third about three times length of second; arista 

 plumose on basal haK or slightly more. Back of head almost flat

 wise clothed with silvery-white hair that completely covers meta- 

 cephalon. Cheek vestitm'e black except possibly for a few scattered 

 white hairs posteriorly. Gena with a row of bristly hairs near lower 

 eye orbit, other hairs if present very minute. Palpi dark. 



Chaetotaxy. — ^Lateral verticals absent; vibrissae inserted on line
