114. Eriocera crassipes sp. nov. 



Closely allied to Eriocera lativentris, but very distinct. 



Male and female. — Length of body (without ovipositor), 9 

 to 11 millimeters; of M^ing, 10 to 13; of ovipositor, about 5. 

 Head dull black, v^ith blackish dust. Antennse entirely black. 

 Thorax and scutellum opaque, not at all shining as in E. lati- 

 ventris; pleurae black-haired, with some gray dust above. Ab- 

 domen broader than in E. mansueta, but narrower than in 

 E. lativentris, entirely black in both sexes; last five segments 

 shining, but destitute of violaceous reflections. Venter entirely 

 dull black; male genitalia opaque, orange-yellow, with yellowish 

 hairs; ovipositor orange-yellow, opaque, its terminal lamellse 

 very thin and acute, longer than the basal joint. Legs entirely 

 black, even at base of the front femora ; hind femora, and espe- 

 cially the hind tibiae on the apical half, distinctly incrassate; 

 hind tarsi shorter and thicker. Wings as in E. lativentris, but 

 subhyaline at base of hind border; the middle spot broader and 

 more whitish than yellowish; first vein issuing from discal cell 

 not forked; auxiliary vein ending before the marginal cross 

 vein ; posterior cross vein on, or a little after, the middle of the 

 discoidal cell. 



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



In the case of the male type the discoidal cell is regularly 

 open in both wings, coalescing with the second posterior cell; 

 in the female it is quite normal. 



115. Eriocera (Physecrania) mansueta 0. S. 1882. 



Los Bafios and Mount Maquiling. This endemic species is 

 closely allied to E. bicolor Macquart and E. cingulata de Meijere. 

 There is sometimes a smaller yellow crossband also on fore 

 border of the third abdominal segment. The legs are black. 

 An immature male specimen from Mount Limay, Bataan Prov- 

 ince, Luzon, has the fourth posterior cell divided by a super- 

 numerary cross vein regularly in both wings. 



116. Eriocera (Physecrania) perennis 0. S. 1882. 

 Los Bafios and Mount Maquiling. Endemic. 



117. Conosia irrorata Wied. 1828. 



Specimens of both sexes from Los Bafios and Mount Maquiling. 

 This characteristic species is widely spread over the Oriental 

 Region — New Guinea, Australia, and Japan — as well as over 

 the whole Ethiopian Region.
