Mindanao, Dapltan {coll. Baker). 



Apparently not common. Closely related to P. similis. 



Pedioscopus simplex sp. nov. 



Length, 5.2 mm.; width of head, 1.6 mm. Color yellowish 

 ochraceous; small basal lunulse on scutellum, irregular spots, 

 including the ocelli, apex of front, lorse except upper extremity, 

 and all of clypeus (in female) black; mesopleurse black-spotted; 

 ovipositor black; corium semitransparent, washed with very 

 pale brownish, clavus opaque yellow; basal two thirds of costa, 

 a stripe along median vein extending to, and connecting with, 

 a brownish spot in the second apical cell, brachial vein, and a 

 longitudinal stripe passing through the clavus black. 



Head, pronotum, and scutellum finely shagreened throughout; 

 head wider than pronotum ; length of vertex into width between 

 eyes about two and one-fifth times, the length at middle distinctly 

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

 ocelli two and a fourth times the distance between ocelli and 

 eyes and once and a half the width of clypeus at base; front 

 much longer than broad, clypeus very broad, broadened apically, 

 the anterior margin only slightly incurved ; lorse far longer than 

 clypeus and about one half as broad. Width of pronotum about 

 two and a half times the length, the length about once and two 

 thirds that of the vertex. Scutellum as long as pronotum and 

 a little more than half of vertex together ; surface near impressed 

 line broadly depressed, the impressed line angularly bent, apically 

 open, the lateral limbs not arcuate. Tegmina with a few remote 

 punctures on clavus; second apical cell long pedunculate. Hind
