NOTES ON THE LONCHAEIDAK (DIPT.). 207 



Guinea, and Prof, de Meijere has recorded it from Java and Sumatra. L. splendida 

 is recorded from Australia, New South Wales ; and Froggatt (Austr, Insects, 1908, 

 p. 308) says that it has a wide range from the Pacific Islands and New Zealand, over 

 Australia ; thus the L. splendida, Broun 1905, for which I have proposed the new 

 name of hrouniana, is probably the same species. 



I have before me specimens from the Philippine Islands : Luzon, Laguna, Los 

 Banos and Mt. Maquiling (C. F. Baker ;) and Panay Culasi, vi. 1918 {R. C. 

 MacGregor). 



2. Lonchaea (Lonchaea) minuta, de Meijere. 



Lonchaea minutay de Meijere, Tijds. v. Ent., liii, 1910, p. 116, and Lx, 1918, p. 350. 

 Described from Java, I have before me a specimen from Malacca, Kelantan, and 

 another from the Philippines, Batbatan Isl, vi. 1918 (R. C. MacGregor). 



3. Lonchaea (Carpolonchaea) citricola, Bezzi. 



Lonchaea citricola, Bezzi, Philipp. Jl. Sci., viii, D., 1913, p. 319. 



Of this species, described from the Philippines, Los Banos,there are in the collection 

 submitted to me by the Imperial Bureau two male specimens from Australia, N. 

 Territories, Darwin, 11. v. 1914 (G. F. Hill). They agree perfectly with the types, 

 and have been bred from larvae from rotten oranges. 



4. Loifchaea (Carpolonchaea) ficiperda, Bezzi. 



Lonchaea ficiperda, Bezzi, Philipp. Jl. Sci., viii, D., 1913, p. 320. 

 I have seen other specimens of this species, likewise from the Philippines, 

 Batbatan Isl., vi. 1918 {R. C. MacGregor). 



5. Lonchaea (Carpolonchaea) atratula, Walker. 



Lonchaea atratula. Walker, Proc. Linn. Soc. Zool., iv, 1860, p. 146; Kertesz, Term. 

 Fuzet., xxiv, 1901, p. 84. 



If I have correctly interpreted this species, it is distinguished by its greater size, 

 blackish and dark-fringed squamulae, blackish wings and the dullish disc of the 

 abdomen. It is probable that biroi, Kert. from New Guinea, and obscuripennis, 

 de Meij., from Java, belong to this same species. 



Originally described from Macassar, I have seen specimens from Singapore (C. F, 

 Baker) and from the Philippines, Mindanao, Butuan {C. F. Baker), 



6. Lonchaea (Carpolonchaea) pallicarpa, sp. nov. 



Very distinct from all the other known species of the subgenus Carpolonchaea from 

 the Old World on account of the yellowish tarsi ; characteristic are also the broad 

 wings, with diverging third and fourth veins. 



5. Length of the body, 3 mm. ; of the wing, 3*2 mm. 



Head black ; frons flat, not sulcata, broad, being only a little longer than broad, 

 with sericeous reflexions on the middle, and with glistening and bluish vertical plates. 

 Antennae black, with the third joint a little brownish along the inner border and 

 reaching the ejjistoma, being about three times as long as the basal joints; arista 

 with long plumosity which is as broad as the breadth of the third antennal joint ;
