Female, body length, 2 mm.; width 1. 05 mm. ; head, length .58 mm.; width 

 .5 mm. 



One female from Acridotheres tristis (Lahaina, Maui Island) 

 which shows such a disproportionate width of body when compared 

 with typical specimens of the species that it must be considered the 

 type of a variety. 

 Oncophorus ad vena Kellogg.
