Pupa (Female). Length 3.5 m.M., slender, antennae extending to the base 

 of the wings, the dark brown wing cases to the third abdominal segment and the dark 

 brown leg cases to the tip of the abdomen. Mesonotum reddish brown, abdomen dark 

 brown, the segments posteriorly yellowish with submedian broadly rounded yellowish 

 anterior extensions on the middle of the segment. Dorsum of abdomen minutely and 

 uniformly dotted with chitinous points. 



The larva is of the usual Laisoptera type being rather long, slender, broadly round- 

 ed at each extremity, the breastbone well developed, dark brown, bidentate, with a 

 small median tooth and a distinct well chitinized shaft. Posterior extremity with sublateral, 

 fleshy projections, possibly artifacts.

One specimen referable with very little question to this speeies bore the 

 following label: Leea sambucina Wild., leaf gall, Semarang 21, IV, 1914, DvL. 

 This speeies of Lasioptera, like L. javanica, is of a somewhat generalized type 

 in that the third and fourth antennal segments are not coalescent. 



Schizomyia laporteae n. sp. 



This species was reared from a large tumid petiole or basal leaf gall on 

 Laportea stimulans Miq. The gall is an irregular lobulate swelling with a length 

 of 30 to 40 mm. and diameter of approximately 17 mm. It is figured and 

 described in Marceliia 9:183, fig. 74. The specimen was labeled: Laportea 

 stimulans Miq. Cec. No. 1. Marc. IX, 1910, S. 183, N. 180, Fig. 74. Oengaran 

 Gebirge, Altitude 1400 M. 10/IV, 1914, DvL. The material consisted of one 

 female, one pupa, four small parasites and one large parasite. 



Female. Length 2.5 m.M. Antennae extending to the third abdominal segment, 

 sparsely haired, yellowish brown, 14 segments, the 5th sessile, cyUndric, with a length 

 three times its diameter, and slight constrictions near the basal and distal thirds, 

 circumfila moderately high, thick and characteristic; 12th segment with a length a little 

 over twice its diameter, the 13th with a length '/2 greater than its diameter, the 14th 

 subglobose. Palpi, presumably quadriarticulate, apparently hiissing in the specimen. Meso- 

 notum reddish brown, the submedian Unes yellowish brown. Wings hyaHne, apparently
