expanded. Uniformly light yellow; tegmina hyaline, slightly white and 

 opaque with waxy secretion, veins light yellow; wings hyaline, opaquely 

 white with Avaxy secretion, veins yellowish. 



Female. Length 1.7 mm.; tegmen 3.4 mm. Pregenital plate wider 

 than long, quadrate, slightly emarginate apieally; styles fairly large, 

 projecting beyond the small anal segment. Color as in male. 



Described from two males and one female from Tutuila, 

 from ICOO' to 2000 feet elevation {Kellers, xA.pril and September, 

 1918). Type No. 1009. This might easily be placed in a new 

 genus jiidging by the venation, but I prefer to place it in 

 Meenoplus until the group is revised. The species is named 

 after the ill-fated De Langle of the Astrolabe, who was killed 

 at Tutuila in 1788. 



Xisia airorenosa has been reported from such widely 

 separated places as Madagascar, India and Australia, but an 

 examination of the genitalia of specimens from Formosa and 

 Australia shows specific differences. It is, therefore, possible 

 that there are several species standing under this name. I 

 have no males from Ceylon, so cannot say which are the typical 

 genitalia. 



ACHILIDAE. 

 Eurynomeus granulatus sp. n. Figs. 1, a, b, c, d. 



This species conforms to the generic type with the exception that 

 there are four branches to the media, and in some specimens the first 

 branch is furcate at apex, making five apical median veins. 



Male. Length 4 nmi., tegmen 4.5 mm. Cinnamon, buflf or clay color, 

 darker o\'er mesonotum. Tegmina thickly covered with light granules, 

 most numerous ba^ad of cross veins, darker bands across tegmina, one 

 from costa to middle of hind margin of clavus, another from costa to 

 apex of clavus and a very light one over cross veins; these bands fade 

 out on some specimens; wings dark fuscous with dark brown veins. 



The male genitalia of Achilidae are complex and have never been 

 adequately described so far as I am aware. The pygofer of this species 

 is comparatively short dorsally and laterally, but longer ventrally where 

 the median portion of the hind margin is produced into two fat, 

 pointed processes. The lateral edges being slightly emarginate; the 

 anal segment is flat, broadly rotundate with the apex emarginate, anus 

 distad of middle, anal style subovate; genital styles large, narrowest 

 at base, broadest at apex where the upper or outer angle is produced, 

 curved, and turned inward as two small points, another inwardly curved 

 point nearer the middle, the inner angle roundly produced, the outer 

 margin is thickened and from near the middle rises a long, curved,
