of transverse impression; ovipositor brown. Tegmina semi- 

 transparent, washed with very pale brownish, the veins golden 

 brown. 



Head, pronotum, and scutellum finely shagreened; head wider 

 than pronotum; length of vertex into width between eyes four 

 times, the length at middle about the same as at eyes. Face a 

 little longer than broad ; distance between ocelli somewhat more 

 than twice the distance between ocelli and eyes and once and a 

 half the width of clypeus at base; front longer than broad; 

 clypeus broad and short, a little broader apically than basally, 

 the tip emarginate; lorse shorter than clypeus and one third as 

 broad. Width of pronotum two and a half times the length, the 

 length about two and a half times that of the vertex. Scutellum 

 as long as pronotum and vertex together; transverse impressed 

 line strongly, angularly bent, open at apex, the lateral limbs 

 strongly arcuated. Tegmina without distinct punctures ; second 

 apical cell sessile. Hind margin of anal segment of female 

 broadly, strongly, medially produced, the apex emarginate. 



Luzon, Mount Maquiling (coll. Baker). 



Pedioscopus maquiling ensis is the largest species of the genus 

 known in the Philippines. Peculiar to this species are the 

 strongly curved supra-antennal ridges. 



Pedioscopus similis sp. nov. 



Length, 4.3 mm. ; width of head, 1.3 mm. Color ochraceous, 

 yellowish on pronotum and scutellum, basal half of clavus opaque 

 yellow, this area distally irregularly abbreviated; corium semi- 

 transparent, faintly washed with brownish, the basal half of 

 costa golden brown; small, round, blackened areas adjoining 

 ocelli below; clypeus in female black, excepting the extreme tip 

 (concolorous in male) ; ovipositor brown. 



Head, pronotum, and scutellum finely shagreened throughout ; 

 head wider than pronotum ; length of vertex into width between 

 eyes two and one-fourth times ; length at middle distinctly greater 

 than at eyes. Face broader than long; distance between ocelli 

 about three times the distance between ocelli and eyes and once 

 and a third the width of clypeus at base ; front about as broad as 

 long; clypeus very broad, as wide basally as apically, the tip 

 emarginate; lorae longer than clypeus and one third as broad. 

 Width of pronotum three times the length, the length one and 

 a fourth times that of the vertex. Scutellum as long as prono- 

 tum and two thirds of vertex together; transverse impressed 

 line strongly, angularly bent, open at apex, the lateral limbs 

 arcuate. Tegmina with a few, scattering, minute dark punc-
