Genus PEDIOSCOPUS Kirkaldy 



Following Kirkaldy's description, I had temporarily placed 

 a number of Philippine insects in the genus Pedioscopus. A 

 later comparison with specimens of P. agenor Kirk, (see figure) 

 kindly sent to me by Mr. Frederick Muir, of the Hawaiian Sugar 

 Planter's Association, makes this reference certain, and enables 

 me to show that this genus is extensively represented in this 

 Archipelago. It includes some of our most highly colored mem- 

 bers of the family. 



Synopsis of the Philippine species of Pedioscopus. 



a'. Vertex transversely wrinkled; second apical cell in tegmina not 

 pedunculate; sides of front strongly angled below antennae; head in 

 female with four large, round black spots (lacking in male) , and 



pronotum with two round black spots dlsjunctus sp. nov. 



a^ Vertex shagreened; sides of front not strongly angled below antennas. 



b\ Pronotum far more than two times as long as vertex; length of 



vertex into width between eyes more than four times; second apical 



cell of tegmina not pedunculate; scutellum as long as pronotum and 



vertex together. 



c^. Lorse longer than clypeus; color yellowish ochraceous; length 3.5 



mm modestus sp. nov. 



c^ Lorae shorter than clypeus; color brownish ochraceous; length 



5.3 mm maquilingensis sp. nov. 



6^ Pronotum distinctly less than two times as long as vertex; length 



of vertex into width between eyes little more or less than two 



times; second apical cell of tegmina pedunculate; scutellum shorter 



than vertex and pronotum together. 



c\ First apical cell about as broad as fourth, normal basally, not 



touching median vein subapically; ocelli nearer eyes than to 



median line. 



d\ Tegmina without black costa or apical black spot; clypeus white 



at extreme apex in female; hind margin of anal segment of 



female very slightly and broadly produced slmilis sp. nov. 



d'. Tegmina with black costa and apical black spot; clypeus all black 

 in female; hind margin of anal segment in female suddenly 

 strongly produced to an emarginate apex. 



angustatus sp. nov. 

 c^ First apical cell far broader than fourth, basally abnormal, broadly 

 extended on to median vein subapically; ocelli as near to median 

 line as to eyes. 

 d\ Clavus all yellow, with a median, longitudinal black stripe. 



simplex sp. nov. 

 d^ Clavus with basal half yellow, and wanting black stripe, some- 

 times part ivory-white or red-brown coloratus sp. nov. 



Pedioscopus disjunctus sp. nov. 



Length, 3.75 mm.; width of head, 1.25 mm. Ochraceous, in
