Kimsey — Loboscelidiinae from Malaysia 
71 
0.8X and Rs 2.3X as long as stigmal vein. Body dark reddish brown, 
forewing maculate. 
Female unknown. 
Holotype male. — India: Nilgiri Hills, May 1961, P. S. Nathan 
(Ottawa). 
Discussion. Closely related to both sarawakensis and philippi- 
nensis Fouts, because of the similar wing venation and leg flanges, 
indica can be distinguished from these species by Rs more than 
twice as long as the stigmal vein, hindtibial flange extending the 
entire tibial length, and the subantennal projection broadly truncate 
and smooth below, without carinae or rugae. 
Loboscelidia loatiana Kimsey, new species 
(Fig. 8). 
Holotype male. Body length 2.0 mm. Frontal projection broadly 
triangular in front view, broadly truncate in profile; frons smooth 
with broadly obtuse fold extending from frontal projection along 
ocular margin dorsally; scape with narrow flange extending entire 
length; F-I and II lengths 1.8X breadths; pronotum broader than 
long along transverse and longitudinal midlines; scutum with para- 
psides and complete notauli; propodeal projection angular, more 
than 1 MOD high; femora and tibiae with sparse macrochaetae; 
midtibial flange extending two-thirds of tibial length; hindfemoral 
flange as wide as femur and extending entire length; hindtibial pos- 
terior margin bicarinate, flange extending entire length; forewing 
(fig. 9), R1 0.6X, cu-a 0.4X and Rs 3X as long as stigmal vein. Body 
reddish brown, forewing faintly maculate. 
Female unknown. 
Holotype male. — Laos: Vientiane Prov., Ban Van Eue, 15 May 
1967, native collector (Honolulu). Paratypes: 9 males, same data 
as type, except dates September 1965 to September 1967 (Hono- 
lulu, Davis); 2 males: Viet Nam: Fyan, 11 July-9 August 1961, 
N. R. Spencer (Honolulu, Davis). 
Discussion. The frontal projection and general wing venation of 
laotiana are closest to that of pasohana. However, laotiana can be 
distinguished from pasohana by the shorter Rs vein, smaller average 
body size (2 mm as opposed to 3 mm in pasohana ), and paler brown 
color.
