This appears to be a common species, widely distributed in 
the South Pacific regions. Since additional material has come 
to hand it seems necessary to supplement the original descrip- 
tion which was drawn up from six specimens. The color of the 
male is not uniformly darker than the female; both sexes are 
usually very dark chocolate brown to dull black; lighter forms 
seem to be less matured, the color deepening with age; vertex 
and thoracic dorsum sometimes with orange yellow streaks but 
more commonly uniformly dark, antennse usually as dark as 
vertex; legs often lighter in color or even yellowish. Body 
surface often not hairy; vertex and thoracic dorsum finely, 
reticulately marked. The beak is moderately long and the man- 
dibular setae sometimes exserted to a length of 1 millimeter or 
less. The hind tibiae have a row of about seven black spines 
on outside, several spines at apex and are more or less hirsute. 
The metacoxal spurs are long and slender. Pterostigma of fore- 
wings usually dark colored, veins black. 
In the Philippine Islands this species has been collected in 
Luzon, Los Banos (Baker), on Ficus ulmifolia; and on Mount 
Maquiling (Baker). Ceylon, Peradeniya (Rutherford) , on 
Ficus hispida and Ficus asperrima. Additional specimens are 
now before me from Tenimber Islands, Larat (Muir), Decem- 
ber, 1907, 18 males and 18 females.
