MEMBRACIDiE

ONE PLATE 
Since the publication of a revised checklist of the Membra- 
cidse described from the Philippine Islands 1 some very inter- 
esting new species and records have been received from Mr. 
R. C. McGregor, of the Bureau of Science, Manila, and from 
Prof. C. F. Baker, of the College of Agriculture, Los Banos, 
P. I., the study of which throws considerable light on the dis- 
tribution and the range of certain species that are extremely 
rare. 
Most of the material on which this paper is based was col- 
lected by Mr. McGregor in Antique Province, Panay Island, 
and on the small island of Batbatan, just off the west coast of 
Panay. Other valuable records received from Mr. McGregor 
were secured in Laguna and Rizal Provinces, Luzon Island, a 
few of them from the immediate environs of Manila. Mr. Mc- 
Gregor has secured the first data to be published on the food 
plants of a number of the species and has also collected for 
several species the nymphal forms, which have never been re- 
corded. I am greatly indebted to Mr. McGregor and again to 
Professor Baker for the opportunity of studying this very in- 
teresting material.

A good series of nineteen specimens collected at Culasi by 
Mr. McGregor in 1918. Six males and six females were taken 
May 18, in the forest at an altitude of about 700 meters; one 
male and four females, on May 27, on shoots from a stub of 
Acalypha stipulacea; one female, on May 29, and one female, 
on June 15. 
In spite of the long series of specimens of this species from 
the Islands which I have seen at various times, I am unable to
