Zoraida javanica (Westwood) , 



Thracia javanica Westwood, Trans. Linn. Soc. London (1842), 19; 

 Stal, Ofv. Vet. Akad. Forh. (1870), 27, 750. 



I have seen no Philippine specimens of this species. Those 

 so named that I have seen do not agree with my specimens from 

 Java. 



Zoraida westwoodii (Stal). 



Thracia westwoodii Stal, Ofv. Vet. Akad. Forh. (1870), 27, 751. 



Male. — Ventral edge of pygophor angularly produced in 

 middle, the apex rounded; lateral edges sinuous, roundly pro- 

 duced at sides of anal segment; anal segment longer than 

 abdomen, slightly widening to anus (which is about one third 

 from base), then gradually narrowing to a long, pointed apex, 

 sinuous in profile; genital styles very long, narrow at base, 

 dorsal edge roundly produced at about the middle, ventral edge 

 sinuous, apex pointed and turned inward. 



Female. — Pregenital sternite wider than long, posterior edge 

 very slightly and roundly produced ; anal segment about as broad 

 as long, round, apex with a small emargination. The female 

 is larger than the male. 



There is a specimen marked westwoodii, Bureau of Science 

 collection No. 5371, that is very slightly darker in color and in 

 which the pregenital sternite is longer, the posterior edge more 

 fully produced, and with an angular emargination in middle; 

 the anal segment more conical in outline, and its apex not emar- 

 ginate. 



Luzon, Laguna, Los Banos (Baker) . 



Zoraida lutescens sp. nov. 



Male. — Antennas a little longer than face. Ochraceous, carinse 

 of mesonotum lighter, fuscous over abdominal tergites. Teg- 

 mina hyaline, light ochraceous over costal, subcostal, and radial 

 cells, veins ochraceous. Medioventral process of pygophor wider 

 than long, forming a wide arc slightly constricted at the corners, 

 making it somewhat fan-shaped, lateral edges of pygophor pro- 

 duced into a small, acute angle; width of anal segment about 

 twice the length, anus in middle, apex rounded, lateral edges 

 turned ventrad, a small transverse ridge basad of anus, in profile 

 ventral edge convex; genital styles large, narrow at base, wide 

 on apical half, sublanceolate, on the ventral edge there are two 

 small emarginations basad of the middle, dorsal edge sinuous 

 basad of the middle. 



Length, 3.5 millimeters; tegmen, 8.5.
