The specimens before me appear to differ from Crawford’s 
original description in certain minor color characters only. 
Subfamily PSYLLIN^E Puton 
Genus EPIPSYLLA Kuwayama 
Epipsylla forcipata Crawford (’17:167). Plate 2, fig. 8', 
Plate 3, figs. 26 and 28 ; Plate 5, fig. 54. 
One slightly damaged female specimen, apparently belonging 
to this species, collected in Manila on May 8, 1910 (Banks), 
No. 18568, Bureau of Science collection. This, specimen appears 
to differ slightly from Crawford’s type as follows : Pterostigma 
opaque ; another proximal opaque area contiguous to pterostigma 
and bordering costal margin of wing. However, in as much 
as the specimen before me is imperfect and I have no means 
of deciding whether or not this is an abnormality, I deem it 
inadvisable to place this insect in another variety.
