thorax, with a soft white pubescence ; the first segment with the 

 basal part restricted to form a distinct stalk and black in the 

 apical half, ovipositor blackish brown. Legs uniform bluish 

 black with short gray dust ; front femora not bristly below ; spur 

 of middle tibiae long. 



Wings hyaline, with a faint yellowish tinge and with the veins 

 black ; costal cell brownish, subcostal cell black ; at apex a short 

 brown apical border, which begins as a very narrow line after 

 end of second vein and, becoming gradually broader, ends at 

 the fourth vein, where it is truncate and incloses a broad, sub- 

 hyaline patch in the apical part of first posterior cell. The 

 cross veins not infuscated; in front of and in contact with the 

 posterior cross vein a broad fuscous band, which begins near 

 the middle of first posterior cell and ends at hind border. Cross 

 veins at end of second basal and of anal cell perfectly straight 

 and placed on the same right line. 



Luzon, Laguna, Mount Maquiling (Baker). 



175. Scelostencpterina femorata Hend. 1914. 



A single male specimen from Mount Banahao seems to belong 

 to the present species, which was briefly described by Hendel 

 from Sulu Island from a unique mutilated specimen in the 

 British Museum. 



Length of body, 9.2 millimeters. Antennae shorter than the 

 face and entirely yellow. Abdomen very like that of Stenop- 

 terina, shining bluish green, white-pubescent, with two or three 

 long, bristly black hairs on middle of the sides of first segment. 

 Front coxae reddish, like the fourth anterior femora; all the 

 tibiae and the tarsi dull black ; hind femora shining bluish green. 



176. Pseudepicausta chalybea Dol. 1858. 



Dapitan, Mindanao, and Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Widely 

 spread over the Malay Archipelago to New Guinea and already re- 

 corded from the Philippines as a Stenopterinxi by Osten Sacken. 



177. Scotinosoma typicum sp. nov. 



Hendel has revised this Loewian genus, which had been with- 

 out a type, for an Australian species. But in the present col- 

 lection there is a small fiy which seems much better to agree 

 with Loew's conception, being almost a Rivellia without sinuosity 

 of the second section of the fourth longitudinal vein and with 

 a very narrow marginal cell. The pattern of wings is the same 

 as described by Loew ; but it must be recorded that in the Oriental 

 Region there are some species of true Rivellia, like costalis 

 Hendel, which show an analogous pattern on wings.
