REVISION OF COELIDIINAE 87 



of dorsal appendage; gonopore terminal; connective Y-shaped; style clawed apically; plate 

 with distal segment elongate, broadly expanded along dorsal margin. 



Specimen examined. 



Holotype <$, Borneo: north, Bundu Tukan, 18.ii.1959 (T. C. Maa) (BPBM, 

 Honolulu). 



Biology. Unknown. 



Remarks. This species is similar to forissa in male genital characteristics, 

 but can be separated from that species by the presence of a serrated pygofer process. 



Tharra asolita sp. n. 



(Text-figs 224-228) 



Length: <$ 4-40 mm, § unknown. 



General colour testaceous. Crown testaceous at apical half, ochraceous at basal half; eyes 

 testaceous; pronotum, scutellum and elytra testaceous; clypeus testaceous at anterior half, 

 ochraceous at posterior half; clypellus ochraceous. 



Head narrower than pronotum ; crown long, produced distally beyond anterior margin of 

 eyes, distal length over one-third entire median length, striate radially, lateral margins nearly 

 parallel, disk elevated above eyes; ocelli small, situated anteriorly; eyes large, occupying 

 nearly two-thirds of entire dorsal area of head; pronotum short, median length about equal 

 to median length of crown; scutellum moderate size, median length about equal to median 

 length of pronotum; elytra elongate, veins somewhat obscured, appendix well developed, 

 venation as in description of genus; clypeus long, broad anteriorly, narrowed posteriorly, 

 without median longitudinal carina, surface finely granulose, rugulose along interior margin ; 

 clypellus with lateral margins slightly concave. 



Male pygofer in lateral aspect with long, curved process, process bulbous subapically, sharply 

 pointed apically, with many minute longitudinal striations on subapical half; aedeagus in 

 lateral aspect with dorsal appendage broad at basal two-thirds, gradually tapered subapically, 

 curved dorsad apically; dorsal appendage with a pair of very short, subbasal, sharp spines 

 on dorsal margin, spines projecting basad; ventral appendage long, tube-like, reaching apex 

 of dorsal appendage; gonopore apical; connective Y-shaped; style clawed apically; plate with 

 distal segment elongate, slightly bulbous medially on dorsal margin. 



Specimen examined. 



Holotype £, New Guinea: Papua, Kunga, Fly R. 9.ix.i957 (IT. W. Brandt) 

 (BPBM, Honolulu). 



Biology. Unknown. 



Remarks. This species is similar to nakatai in general habitus and male genital 

 characteristics, but can be separated from that species by the large, curved pygofer 

 process and the elongate narrow plate.
