and a few scattering minute punctures; hind margin shallowly 

 subangularly emarginate. Basal area of scutellum smooth. 

 Venation (Plate 4, fig. 37, c) peculiar in the very large second 

 apical cell and subtriangular third. 



Mindanao, Davao Province, Davao {Baker). A single speci- 

 men from Mount Maquiling, Laguna Province, Luzon, agrees 

 with the Davao specimens in all structural and color characters 

 except that the vertex and pronotum are white waxy; the teg- 

 mina are opaquely albescent, with an orange-colored patch at 

 apex of radial and medial areas, and the space between second 

 and third subcostal stripes is fuscous. This form is here dis- 

 tinguished as var. luzonensis. 

 Pseudonirvana sanguineolineata sp. nov. Plate 4, fig. 38. 



Very pale ochraceous; vertex apically with a submarginal 

 arcuate violet stripe, which reaches the lateral margins and 

 thence extends narrowly caudad to become lost in the lateral 

 longitudinal orange stripes of vertex ; median carina violet ; two 

 ivory white submedian longitudinal stripes become slender in 

 diverging cephalad. Pronotum and scutellum with two sub- 

 median ivory white longitudinal stripes, these more or less 

 diffuse on scutellum. Tegmina subhyaline; an irregular orange 

 area occurs in the apices of radial and medial areas; from the 

 incurved outer margin of radial area three cross veins extend 

 to costal margin, the first two oblique, the last transverse and 

 these and the outer apical vein are more or less clouded with 

 fuscous; a large round black spot nearly fills the second apical 

 cell and extends into the third. Wings albescent, strongly irides- 

 cent apically. Length of female, 5.25 millimeters. 



Front plane, coarsely shagreened, the median carina fine, sub- 

 obsolete at middle, more distinct basally where it is strongly 

 raised. Sculpture of basal lateral areas of face similar to that 

 of Kana illaborata. Ocellus on the lateral rounded border of 

 vertex and turned outward, the sharper carina bordering crown 

 anteriorly passing below it, a very short branch of this from 

 m front of ocellus reaching its posterior border. Length of 

 vertex (Plate 4, fig. 38, a) about one and three-fourths times 

 the width between eyes; lateral margins of head before eyes 

 gradually converging cephalad to a broadly rounded apex; sur- 

 face a little depressed, nearly plane, indistinctly shagreened, 

 the rounded lateral margins rugose, before apex with a few very 

 fine and indistinct longitudinal wrinkles; the median carina does 

 not quite reach the apex. Pronotum about half the length of
