Peggiopsis puncticosta (Melichar). 



Zoraida puncticosta Melichar, Phil. Journ. Sci., Sec. D (1914), 9, 433. 

 The long, flat antennse and the rudimentary wings place this 

 species in the genus Peggiopsis. One male in the Baker collec- 

 tion from the type locality (Mount Maquiling) that agrees with 

 Melichar's description has the genitalia as follows : Medioventral 

 process of pygophor acutely triangular, the length about twice 

 the width at base ; anal segment subquadrate, length about twice 

 the width at base, the width of apex about half that of the 

 base, apex slightly emarginate, anus near middle; genital styles 

 large, narrow at base, gradually widening to apex, which is 

 truncate with rounded corners, dorsal edge concave, ventral 

 edge convex, a small subangular process on ventral edge near 

 base. 



Peggiopsis dorsopunctata (Melichar) . 



Zoraida dorsopunctata Melichar, Phil. Journ. Sci., Sec. D (1914), 9, 

 434 (Mount Maquiling). 



The long, flat antennse indicate that this is not a Zoraida. 



I have one specimen that may be the female of this species. 

 Face in profile slightly projecting below eyes; antennse flat, 

 half as long as head and body, edges subparallel; cubitus with 

 six veins extending to hind margin. Yellow, edges of antennse 

 reddish; mesonotum slightly fuscous, dorsal edges of tegulse 

 fuscous, two spots on scutellum, second, third, and fifth ab- 

 dominal tergites, each with two spots, anal segment reddish. 

 Hind margin of pregenital sternite obtusely, angularly produced 

 from sides to middle, disk flattened; anal segment longer than 

 wide, sides very slightly arcuate, narrowed toward apex, which 

 has a distinct angular emargination ; anus at about middle. 



Luzon, Los Banos (Muir). 

 Peggiopsis pseudopuncticosta sp. nov. 



Antennse flat, broad, as long as thorax and abdomen together ; 

 wings not reaching to the middle of the abdomen; apical half 

 of costal cell narrow; radial cell narrow to the cross vein, 

 beyond which it is wider. Light brown, reddish over the abdo- 

 men ; slightly fuscous near base of antennse and a dark band 

 near the reddish apex, three dark marks on mesonotum, which 

 are broadest posteriorly. Tegmina hyaline with yellowish veins, 

 costal cell with a series of some forty minute black spots. 



Medioventral process of pygophor conical in outline with an 

 acute apex; lateral edges obtusely angled; anal segment long
