Other species of Aaroniella 
Mr. J. V. Pear man has very kindly sent me drawings 
of two other species belonging in this group: (1) of a S 
of an undescribed species in his collection ; this agrees with 
the genotype in all bisexual and male characters listed in 
the generic diagnosis, (2) copies of drawings of Philotar- 
sus badonelli Danks (1950). This is described from a 
female and agrees with the genotype in all female characters 
listed in the generic diagnosis plus (7). The antennae are 
not figured. In addition we suspect several other known 
species of belonging here. 
Philotarsus Kolbe, 1880 
In addition to the characters given by Badonnel 
(1943:70) it would appear that the females of this genus 
always have the pigmentation of the subgenital plate in the 
form of a pair of rather slender converging arms. Several 
figures of the genotype, P. flaviceps (Ste.) are given by 
Badonnel (op. cit. :71). These plus a drawing of the phallic 
frame sent to me by Mr. Pearman were used for comparison 
with the following species. 
Philotarsus kwakiutl n. sp. 
(PI. 8, Figs. 2, 3, 6, 8; PI. 9, Figs. 1, 2, 7) 
Measurements of typical male and female: Fore 
wing: S 3.27 mm., 9 3.24 mm. Total body length : $ 1.86 
mm., 9 2.58 mm. Antennal length : $ 2.91 mm., 9 1.89 mm. 
Near the genotype, differing in that (1) apex of fore 
wing in both sexes is more prolonged, (2) areola postica 
is slightly longer and lower, (3) pigmented area of sub- 
genital plate (pi. 9, fig. 1) more u- than v-shaped, (4) apical 
sclerite of subgenital plate shorter and wider, (5) tubercle 
of dorsal gonapophysis proportionately larger, (6) phallic 
frame (pi. 8, fig. 6), especially the anterior, basal portion 
long and drawn out.
