xv, i Baker: The Malayan Machserotinse 71 
reticulate within, the lateral margins high and thin; spine with 
its point about 1 millimeter above apex of tegmina. 
Male . — Length to end of abdomen, 3 millimeters; to end of 
tegmina, 4.5; to end of spine, 5.5. 
Colors deeper than in the female, the pronotum almost piceous. 
The spine is more or less minutely dotted, and the lateral yellow 
marks on body of scutellum are abbreviated posteriorly. 
This is a common species at Los Banos and on Mount Ma- 
quiling, both localities in Laguna Province, Luzon Island, Phil- 
ippine Islands. 
Machserota luzonensis Schmidt. 
Macluerota luzonensis Schmidt, Ent. Zeitg. Stettin 68 (1907) 189. 
Female . — Length to end of abdomen, 4 millimeters; to ends 
of tegmina, 6; to end of spine, 7. 
Color stramineous; spine, and scutellum caudad, pale reddish 
brown ; legs yellowish. Frons yellowish, with eight horizontal 
piceous bands on either side, and with no median dark color 
except above; scutellum with an indistinct, median piceous 
stripe; posterior yellow border of body of scutellum broader 
below, the intramarginal, deeply depressed line piceous; the 
curved yellowish marks on sides of body of scutellum very in- 
distinct; a few dark dots on borders of scutellar groove. 
Abdomen stramineous, ovipositor piceous. 
Frons nearly smooth, indistinctly shagreened, the lower bor- 
der, with clypeus, more coarsely sculptured; face almost entire- 
ly without appressed white pubescence. Pronotum coarsely 
reticulate-punctate except near anterior margin, but the retic- 
ulations are not sharp ; the four slightly depressed oblique arese 
near fore margin short, minutely roughened, and piceous; the 
median ridge sharp and high. Reticulate character of punc- 
turation less evident on body of scutellum ; spine strongly curved 
at base, its point a millimeter above the apex of tegmina. 
In all of the Philippine material before me, there appear to 
be but two specimens that approximately fit the original de- 
scription of Schmidt’s species. These are from Davao, Min- 
danao Island, Philippine Islands. 
Macliserota ensifera Burm. 
Machssrota ensifera Burmeister, Handb. Ent. 2 1 (1835) 128. 
The disposition of colors on pronotum in longitudinal stripes 
clearly marks this species in all of its various light and dark 
phases. The common form in Luzon is pale in color, but very
