Abdomen moderately long, not large. Male anal valve a little 

 broader than forceps, truncate at apex with a slender prolonga- 

 tion reaching upward and backward toward forceps. Forceps 

 as long as anal valve, stout, arched, with a row of about six 

 black spines at apex and about six or seven on inner surface near 

 apex pointing backward and interlocking with the corresponding 

 spines of the opposite side ; these are apparently a great aid in 

 holding the female genital segment during copulation. Female 

 genital segment nearly as long as the remainder of abdomen, 

 tapering to the subacute apex ; dorsal valve a little longer than 

 ventral. 



Palawan, Puerto Princesa (Bake)-), 3 males and 5 females. 



Epipsylla pulchra Crawford. - 



The female genital segment, not described in the original 

 description of the species, is very similar to that of E. forcipata.

This is a widely distributed species throughout the Orient, 

 from India through China to the Philippines. Additional speci- 

 mens are before me now showing some slight variations from 

 the typical forms in wing coloration — as might well be expected 

 in such a widely distributed species — collected at Coimbatore, 

 South India, by "T. V. R." on Cardia, August 4, 1913; others 

 from the same locality on August 22, 1913, collected by "C. N." 

 on Cardia car data; others collected at Poona, Bombay, by T. B. 

 Fletcher, Sept. 8, 1911. 



Arytaina variabilis sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 3. 



Length of body, 2.1 millimeters ; length of forewing, 2.4 ; width, 

 1.3; width of head, 0.85. General color greenish yellow; eyes 

 black ; wings darker, with a brown apical and anterior, marginal 

 band sometimes with darker spots scattered through the band. 

 Body very robust, surface covered with stiff pubescence. 



Head nearly or quite as broad as thorax, rather strongly de- 

 flexed. Vertex a little more than half as long as broad, surface 

 irregular, with a transverse depression between posterior ocelli 

 and from there roundly convex and sloping downward toward 

 front ocellus; posterior ocelli scarcely elevated; anterior ocellus
