Ceronema. 257 
Adult male (jig. 14) deep reddish brown, the notal plates paler ; apodema 
darker, broadly rounded in front, and divided in the middle. Body rather 
stout ; no caudal filaments. Wings hyaline ; costal nervure deep red ; halteres 
present, their bristles engaging with a small lobe at base of each wing (zg. 16) 
Head broad (fig. 15) ; eyes minute, lateral; ocelli four, large and conspicuous. 
Antenne ten-jointed ; fourth longest, others gradually decreasing in length ; all 
joints with short hairs, tenth with three longer knobbed hairs. Genital sheath 
half length of abdomen. Total length 1°35 mm. 
On branches of Sapzum sebiferum; Kandy; January. Collected by Mr. 
Albert Koebele, to whom I have much pleasure in dedicating this interesting 
species. 
Though the structure of the ovisac is not quite typical of t e genus Ceronema, 
as defined by Maskell, the general characters conform more with this than with 
any other known Lecaniid genus. The author of the genus himself, to whom 
specimens were submitted, considered that the species should be placed under 
Ceronema.
