lighter in color; antenna dark distad; forewings semitrans- 
parent, usually brownish or sometimes brown and opaque. 
Head strongly declivous, fully as broad as thorax. Vertex a 
little more than half as long as broad, subperpendicular to axis 
of body, with a shallow sulcus across posterior portion, surface 
somewhat convex. Frons visible in front, with large ocellus. 
Genae swollen beneath antennal bases into subconical processes 
very broad at base, subacutely pointed and about one-third as 
long as vertex. Antennae a little less than twice as long as 
width of head, slender. 
Thorax not strongly arched. Legs rather short, hind tibiae 
with a small spur at base. Forewings long and narrow, sub- 
acute at apex, membrane thick, semitransparent or often opaque 
because of the brown color. 
Abdomen long. Male forceps slender, little more than half 
as long as anal valve, acutely pointed ; anal valve long and rather 
slender, tapering from base to subacute apex. Female genital 
segment about half as long as abdomen, dorsal valve with a 
large, rounded convexity dorsad, acutely pointed, a little longer 
than ventral valve. 
Moluccas, Amboina {Muir), 1 male and 3 females. 
This resembles P. magnifrons , a tropical American species, 
more closely than other species of this genus. Quite possibly 
these two species should be referred to a distinct genus. 
Genus HETEROHEURA novum 
Head somewhat as in Pauropsylla , much deflexed and short; 
vertex roundly convex; frons inferior, with anterior ocellus 
visible only from in front; genae small, not much swollen, cones 
wanting; eyes rather small; beak short; antennae as long as 
width of head or longer. 
Thorax well arched ; legs short, front tibiae flattened, thin and 
foliaceous; hind tibiae with a tooth near apex; metacoxal spurs 
short. Forewings coriaceous, opaque, broad ; marginal cells 
long and narrow as in Paurocephala ; second marginal cell flexed 
toward costal margin; radius contorted; pterostigma closed. 
Type of the genus, Heteroneura oceanica sp. nov. 
This genus appears to belong to the subfamily Pauropsyllinae, 
but differs from other genera of this subfamily in the coriaceous 
forewings, the much contorted radius, and the foliaceous front 
tibiae.

Length of body, 1.8 millimeters; length of forewing, 2; length 
of antennae, 1.2. General color dark brown ; meso- and meta-
