dwelt on to the exclusion of structural details, appear to vary 

 within considerable limits in this subfamily, and hence much 

 of the published descriptive work is of comparatively little 

 help in deciding to which section of the genus a species 

 should be allotted. 



As before, all the types have been deposited in the British 

 Museum. 



The author is indebted to Dr. F. J. H. Jenkinson, of 

 Trinity College, Cambridge, for forming the generic names. 

 The references to the genera are all omitted, as they will be 

 found in Becker's monographs, referred to in the former 

 paper [Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) vol. xix. p. 33 (1917)]. 



Apeometopis, Becker. 

 A. flavofacies, Beck. 



Natal: Durban (F. Muir, Camb. Coll.). 



Aprometopis minima, sp. n. 



This is a remarkably small species, and can be described 

 briefly but adequately as follows : — 



In form and structure almost exactly a small replica of 

 flavofacies ; the head is, however, a little less prominent and 

 the tace less concave. The whole insect, including legs and 

 wings, is pale yellow, the anterior of frons and the antenna? 

 more orange ; the ocellar spot is black, but absolutely no 

 other dark spots or marks are to be seen. 



In two specimens the head has fallen in as a result of 

 drying, which gives a fallacious appearance to the frons. 



Size just under 2 mm. 



S. India: Coimbatore (T. B. Fletcher). 



Note appended : — " From larva in rotten cholam-stems, and 

 in cholam stubble." 



Scoliophthalmus, Becker. 

 S. obliquus, Beck. 



First described as Anacamptoneurum obliquum, Beck., from 

 Egypt. The present specimen is practically identical with 

 his description.
