Genus Cvci.okaka ]\Iuir. 



In niv ial)lc (if i>enera of Derl)idae'^ I placed Paiara West, 

 in Grou]) J I. Westwood's fig-nre was not clear to me at that 

 time, I)ut since then 1 have examined allied forms from the 

 West Indies and now see that Patara should have been placed 

 in Group I, as it comes near to Cyclokara Mnir. Dairnaria 

 Distant is close to Cyclokara. Patara West, differs from both 

 of these in having a large, flattened antenna. I place Paiara 

 vanduzei Ball in Cydol-ara but the neuration is not quite 

 typical. 



C. sordidnJain sp. nov. 



$ In neuration, shape of head and antennae this species is t\'pical 

 of the genus. Head, thorax and abdominal stcrnites sordid pale orange 

 yellow, carinae of face between eyes slightly infuscate, abdominal tergites 

 cadmium orange. Tegmina sordid yellow, opaque with waxy secretion, 

 slightly fuscous over apical cells, veins brownish in places ; wings white 

 opaque with waxy secretion, veins brown. 



Edges of pygophor straight, entire, with a small, sharp point pro- 

 jecting on each side of the anal segment; anal segment small, about as 

 long as wide ; styles large, broad, apex roundly truncate, ventral edge 

 slightly convexly curved, round!}' produced in middle, dorsal edge very 

 slightly and concavely curved, with a quadrate projection on basal half. 



Length 2.1 mm.; tegmen 4.5 mm. 



9 Similar to male. Anal segment very small, as long as broad ; 

 pregenital ventral plate short, posterior edge widely angularly produced, 

 the apex of the projection turned slightly dorsad. 



Length 2.2 mm. ; tegmen 5.5 mm. 



Hab. Porto Kico, Aibonito, ]\rayagtTez, Julv, 1914. De- 

 scribed from five males and five females. Type in the Ameri- 

 can Mus. of J^at. Hist, I^^ew York. 



Genus Persis Stal. 



The following species agrees with StaFs description of the 

 genus. It has a similar neuration but the head is much more 

 acutely angular in profile and the shoulder keels are only re]> 

 resented by a ridge. It differs from GoueoJmra Muir in having 

 the head more produced, in profile the vertex and face form an 

 acute angle, and the tegmen is longer and narrower.
