where it is crossed by a red dash on the line of an indistinct 

 oblique cross nervure. Length 4 mm. 



Front and clypeus very strongly convex and minutely sha- 

 greened, the former with 2 transverse black spots on upper 

 margin. Second antennal article very large, longer than first. 

 Vertex very long, narrowly rounded anteriorly, nearly smooth, 

 coarsely shagreened just before tip, length once and a half the 

 width between eyes, slightly impressed across ocelli. Ocelli very 

 large, on the line of anterior margins of eyes and almost as far 

 from median line as from eyes. Pronotum nearly smooth, the 

 pleural carina complete. Scutellum wider than long, convex and 

 nearly smooth anteriorly, deeply transversely foveate just behind 

 middle, the posterior area 

 minutely rugose. Hind mar- 

 gin of last ventral segment of 

 female slightly incurved. 



Luzon, Laguna Province,

This appears to be nearest 

 to U. consors of Distant. The 

 genera Mileewa and Ujna are 

 very small and peculiar close- 

 ly related tettigoniellids. As 

 described by Distant they 

 seemed to be quite distinct — 

 Mileewa with its carinate ver- 

 tex and truncate tegmina, and Ujna with its carinate front and 

 rounded tegmina. Both genera have only 3 apical cells in the 

 tegmina. Melichar 2 describes a new species which he names 

 Mileewa gillavryi, which has the head form of Mileewa, but the 

 wing form of Ujna. Mileeiva luzonica described herein does not 

 have a distinctly carinated vertex, nor does Ujna philippinensis 

 have the carinated front. However, the Mileeiva is evidently 

 congeneric with the type of the genus and the Ujna even shows 

 the general color plan of Ujna delicatula and U. consors of Dis- 

 tant. This leaves only the truncated tegmina on which to sepa- 

 rate Mileewa. Melichar mentions the close resemblance of his 

 Mileewa gillavryi to the type of Ujna, and I believe that it should 

 be placed in that genus, if Ujna is to be kept separate from 

 Mileewa.
