sessile, broadest on third segment, remaining segments entirely 

 retracted; first tergite longer than its apical width, basal width 

 slightly greater than half apical; second tergite subequal to 

 first in length, distinctly broadened apically, length subequal to 

 apical width; third tergite but little shorter than second, its 

 length greater than half apical width; first, second, and third 

 tergites coarsely, but shallowly and completely, longitudinally 

 striate ; second suture broad, curved, deeply impressed, and sub- 

 connate; a strong median carina on first and second tergites 

 and on basal half of third. 



Stigma large, its length about four times its width, radius 

 inserted at two fifths of the length from base; first abscissa 

 of radius two thirds the length of the second; second cubital 

 cell very short, subquadrate, about one fourth longer than broad, 

 not narrowed apically; first transverse cubitus slightly oblique, 

 second nearly perpendicular and decolored ; recurrent vein enter- 

 ing first cubital cell a distance from apex equaling first abscissa 

 of radius, intervening vein decolored; parallel vein inserted at 

 lower fourth and broadly curved before insertion; submedian 

 cell far longer than median; radial vein in hind wings nearly 

 obsolete; nervellus curved and nearly vertical. 



Mindanao, Misamis, Iligan (Baker). 



This species presents a remarkable resemblance, superficially, 

 to Rhogas mimicus sp. nov., but is distinct in structural 

 characters. 



Rhogas (Aleiodes) modestus sp. nov. 



Pale ferruginous; legs stramineous, all tarsi and apical half 

 of hind femora pale ferruginous; spots on upper border of 

 propleura, beneath wings, sides of postscutellum, and sides of 

 first tergite at base piceous. 



Female, length, 5.5 millimeters. 



Head viewed from above broadly transverse, strongly nar- 

 rowed behind eyes, which are large and very prominent, distance 

 between them equaling distance from occipital carina to an- 

 tennal sockets ; vertex roughly and thickly shagreened ; occipital 

 carina angulate at middle ; length of vertex back of ocelli much 

 greater than the very oblique, exposed cheek margins and dis- 

 tinctly longer than entire ocellar area ; ocelli small, distance from 

 ocelli to eyes greater than interocellar distance, but little less 

 than long diameter of an ocellus; distance between hind ocelli 

 much less than long diameter of an ocellus, anterior ocellus not 

 farther removed. 



Face to mouth as wide as long, eye margins evenly incurved.
