rior cross veins placed on the same line with the basal vein of the 



diseoidal cell verticalis Wied. 



b'. AntennaB of male much shorter than the body; wings in both sexes 

 infuscated with a whitish middle spot and with the above-named 

 veins not in the same line, 

 c*. Hind legs of the usual shape; abdomen dilated, shining, with viola- 

 ceous reflections and with some yellowish bands near the base.

(T. Legs black; abdomen with one or two yellow crossbands near the 



base; wings with black base and fore border mansueta O. S.

112. Eriocera verticalis Wiedemann. 1828. 



A couple of specimens from Los Baiios and Mount Maquiling. 

 A very peculiar species, known from Java and Japan. The 

 antennae of the present male measure 45 millimeters in length. 



113. Eriocera lativentris sp. nov. 



Closely allied to E. mansueta Osten Sacken in coloration of 

 body and wings, but at once distinguished by the abdomen being 

 more than twice as broad and with the last four segments 

 strongly shining and adorned with violaceous reflections. 



Male. — Length of body, 11 to 13 millimeters; of wing, 10 to 12. 

 Head covered with dense gray dust ; antennae with the two basal 

 joints of flagellum more yellow. Thorax, scutellum, and hal teres 

 as in E. mansueta. Abdomen narrow at base, but becoming 

 gradually broader, the sixth segment more than twice as broad 

 as the second; abdomen clothed with black hairs; first joint 

 entirely black; second yellow, with a black hind border; third 

 black, with two narrow yellow crossbands at base; fourth 

 black, with a similar band, but narrower; fifth to seventh en- 

 tirely black, but with strong violaceous reflections. Genitalia 

 yellow, with pale yellowish hairs. Venter black, with yellow 

 crossbands on second, third, and fourth segments, that of second 

 much broader than the others. Legs with the coxae entirely 

 black, but the front femora distinctly yellowish near the base; 

 hind legs not thicker than usual. 



Wing pattern as in E. mansueta, but the base narrowly yel- 

 lowish ; first vein issuing from the distal cell not forked ; posterior 

 cross vein distinctly before the middle of the diseoidal cell; 

 auxiliary vein ending opposite the marginal cross vein. 



Luzon, Laguna, Los Baiios and Mount Maquiling (Baker).
