Sipylus dilatatus Walk. 
Add: Habitat. — Luzon, Manila: Rizal Province, Pasig. Pa- 
nay, Antique Province, Culasi. {McGregor.) 
Hosts . — Phyllanthus reticulatus Poir. ; Acalypha sti- 
pulacea Klotz. 
Seven specimens collected as follows: One male and one fe- 
male taken at Manila in April, 1917 ; one male and two females 
taken at Pasig, February 17, 1918, on Phyllanthus reticulatus ; 
two females taken at Culasi, May 27, 1918, on shoots from a stub 
of Acalypha stipulacea. Mr. McGregor’s field notes on this 
species state that the insects were solitary and were not attended 
by ants. With the specimens of this species now available for 
study, it appears that the males average considerably smaller 
and darker than the females but show the same characteristic 
broadened pronotum and the nodulate veins on the tegmina.
