pair. Female genital segment about one third as long as rest 

 of abdomen, acutely pointed at apex, dorsal valve a little longer 

 than ventral. 



Luzon, Benguet, Baguio (Baket-) , 1 male and 1 female. 



Rhinopsylla distincta sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 6. 



Length of body, 2.9 millimeters ; length of forewing, 4.8 ; width, 

 1.8; width of head, 0.7. General color light reddish brown to 

 brown ; eyes dark ; parts of dorsum reddish ; antennae brown. 



Head nearly as broad as thorax, scarcely deflexed, deeply cleft 

 in front, covered sparsely with long hairs; posterior ocelli con- 

 spicuously elevated. Genae swollen beneath into a pair of blunt 

 processes (genal cones) projecting vertically downward and 

 situated far back under the head near labrum. In some of the 

 other species of this genus the genae are swollen, but not into 

 conical processes as in this species. Antennae very slender, four 

 times as long as width of head, large at base. 



Thorax not broad, scarcely arched ; pronotum short and much 

 depressed below level of head and mesonotum ; legs long, rather 

 slender, hairy; hind tibiae with a spur at base. Forewings very 

 long, reaching more than half their length beyond abdomen, 

 hyaline, acute at apex; first marginal cell larger than second. 



Abdomen slender, rather small. Female genital segment about 

 as long as rest of abdomen, both valves tapering to an acute end, 

 the dorsal valve a little longer than ventral, sparsely hairy, 



Luzon, Benguet, Baguio {Baker), 1 female. 

 Genus STROGYLOCEPHALA novum 



Head short, not deflexed, very uniformly rounded in front, the 

 eyes and vertex together forming almost a hemisphere; ocelli 

 not elevated ; f rons not wholly covered by genae, visible as a small 

 sclerite between genae with front ocellus at its apex; genae not 

 swollen into cones ; labrum small ; labium short. Antennae short, 

 a little longer than width of head. Thorax not arched ; pronotum 

 relatively long and with praescutum forming somewhat of a 

 "neck." Legs short and not large. Forewings slender, acute 

 at apex, with pterostigma. 



Type of genus : Strogylocephala fascipennis sp. nov. 



This genus is a member of the subfamily Pauropsyllinae re- 

 sembling Pauropsylla in some head characters, as the visible 

 frons and rounded vertex, but differing from most others of 

 this subfamily in the unarched thorax and slender wings. In 

 the latter characters there is some resemblance to the Carsi- 

 darinse. The aspect of the type species is suggestive of 

 Tenxiphalara.
