$ Typical of the genus. The face is very narrow, formed of two 

 contiguous carinae; antennae about as long as face. 



Warm bufif, slightly fuscous on apex of clypeus and over abdominal 

 segments. Tegmina hyaline, opaquely white with waxy secretion, fuscous 

 over basal third, along cubitus to hind margin and along media to third 

 sector, from near the apex of radial cell to hind margin and along the 

 fourth sector to its base, all the quadrate cross veins and some irregular 

 marks at the end of veins; veins concolorous with adjoining membrane, 

 or slightly yellowish, apical portion of sub-costal and radial veins red- 

 dish ; wings hyaline, opaque with waxy secretion, veins fuscous spreading 

 out into the membrane. 



Ventral edge of pygophor very slightly convexly curved, lateral edges 

 straight; anal segment longer than broad, slightly constricted near base, 

 apex rounded, anus near apex, a small, transverse ridge just basad of 

 anus; styles large, subquadrate, ventral edge strongly convexly curved 

 near base, with a tooth about the middle, apex slightly convex, dorsal

Length 3.3 mm. ; tegmen 7.4 mm. 



9 In color similar to male. Pregenital plate large, longer than broad, 

 posterior edge produced in middle into a small truncate process, with

Hal). Hokkaido, Japan, and Formov^a. I have one speci- 

 men from Sapparo (det. jMatsumura) and three from Ilorisha, 

 Formosa (coll. Muir). These cannot be placed under Pamen- 

 danga as the face does not conform to that genus. Type in coll.

Genus ]\Iysidia "Wcstw. 



The facics of some of the species of this genus are very 

 much alike and the best specific characters lie in the genitalia ; 

 unfortunately these characters have hardly been mentioned in 

 descriptions of these insects.
