486 jNIr. T. D. A, Cockeroll — Descrijdions and 



remarks that some of llie species cai^not be distinguished 

 troiu }\ varifrons. Tlie male ^vhich RIctz refers to 1'. nuh- 

 tiiatiii, of which I have an cxaiii])le determined by Metz 

 (Uiuisby County, Nevada, July, Baker), is quite distinct, 

 and is really related to F. episcopalis, having the yellow 

 markings reduced and the lateral face-marks much narrower 

 above. It is P. xiniversitatis, Ckll., which Metz remarks " is 

 probably the variety siihtristis." 



Frosopis luzonicaj Cockerell. 



^ . — Length about 7 mm. 



Black, with broad transverse mark on lower margin of 

 clypeus, lateral face-maiks (rather narrow, notched at an- 

 tennal sockets, and ending narrowly on orbital n)argin below 

 level of middle of front), interrupted line on jirothorax, spots 

 on tubercles and teguke, anterior tibiie in front, middle tibige 

 at extreme base, rather more than basal iliird of hind tibiae, 

 and all the basitarsi yellow ; flagellum long, the apical part 

 lerruginous beneath. 



IJab. Mt. Banahao, Philippine Is. (Baker coll. 3GG4). 



The species was described from a female. 



Frosopis mindanensisj sp. n. 



(^ . — Length about 6*5 mm. 



Black, with a large triangular mark on lower part of 

 clypeus, lateral face-marks (shaped like feet on tip-toe, broadly 

 truncate at about level of middle of supraclypeal area, but 

 continued narrowly a short distance up orbital margin), small 

 stripe on scape, interrupted line on prothorax, tubercles, spot 

 on tegulce, anterior tibue in front, and bases of middle and 

 liind tibise yellow ; anterior taisi ferruginous, the small joints 

 du.sky, the other tarsi black ; face rather long and narrow; 

 antennai short for a male, reaching about to level of tubercles, 

 third and fourth joints very short, flagellum obscure reddish 

 beneath; mesothorax rather strongly and extremely densely 

 punctured ; area of metathorax coarsely wrinkled. Wings 

 greyish hyaline ; first r.n. meeting first t.-c. ; second s.m. 

 longer than high ; fiist abdominal segment shining, with 

 extremely fine punctures; the other segments also very 

 finely punctured, without any distinct hair-bands or patches; 

 Ktipites long and spine-like. 



Hah. Dapitan, Mindanao (Baker coll. 3663). 



Resembles F. palavanica, Ckll., but is distinguished by 

 the shorter antennae, yellow bases of middle and hind tibiae, 

 broader abdomen, &c. Among the continental Asiatic species 

 it is related to F.feai, Vachal.
