radius inserted at the proximal two fifths; first abscissa of 

 radius about half length of second; second cubital cell about 

 twice as long a^wide; first transverse cubital oblique; second 

 vertical and decolored ; cubitus becoming obsolete shortly beyond 

 second cubital cell; recurrent vein joining cubitus a short dis- 

 tance before first transverse cubitus, intervening vein decolored ; 

 parallel vein inserted at lower third, but appearing interstitial 

 by reason of the posterior vein being obsolete beyond second 

 cubital cell; transverse median vein interstitial with basal; ra- 

 dial vein in hind wing at one third of its length, strongly and 

 suddenly curved toward costa, beyond this obsolete; nervellus 

 oblique, slightly curved on upper half. 

 Luzon, Laguna, Los Bafios (coll. Baker) . 



Rhogasella lineata sp. nov. 



Antennae and abdomen pale sordid ferruginous; flagellar 

 sutures darkened ; legs and tegulae stramineous. A more or less 

 distinct and in part subcontinuous, narrow, discal, piceous stripe 

 on metanotum and abdominal dorsum. Interocellar area pice- 

 ous. Palpi entirely decolored. Wings very slightly obscured, 

 costa ochraceous, stigma stramineous, veins darkened. Ovipos- 

 itor ochraceous, as long as depth of last exposed segment and 

 hypopygidium together. 



Female, length, 5 millimeters. 



Head viewed from above with large nonbulging eyes, which 

 deeply enter head; vertex very rapidly narrowing back of eyes, 

 occipital margin very narrow; length of exposed cheek margin 

 not twice distance of ocelli to eyes and less than distance from 

 ocelli to occipital margin (which is nearly straight) ; entire 

 surface of vertex, including area in front of ocelli, smooth and 

 shining; ocelli small, distance from eyes a little more than half 

 distance from occipital margin; anterior ocellus a half again 

 as far from posterior ocelli as these are from each other, the 

 latter nearer to each other than their long diameter and a little 

 farther from eyes than their long diameter. Face subquadrate ; 

 broader than long; subobsoletely, transversely, and irregularly 

 punctulate-striate ; medially umbo-carinately raised just below 

 antennse; mouth opening narrow, subelliptical ; clypeus trans- 

 verse, basal and apical margin broadly curved and subparallel; 

 clypeal pits distant from eyes about four times their diameter. 

 Head viewed from side with face very strongly projecting, espe- 

 cially at antennae, but very slightly curved at middle; cheek 

 narrow, about one fourth the lower width of eye, outer margin 

 parallel to eye margin ; malar space long, twice the lower width
