pressed and with projecting episternum (dorsal aspect) appear- 
ing somewhat like a collar. Legs moderately long, femora stout ; 
hind tibias with an inconspicuous spur at base and a prominent 
spiniform tooth near apex. Forewings long and slender, three 
times as long as broad, acute at apex, wholly hyaline, marginal 
cells about equal in size, radius short. Hind wings about half 
as long as forewings, very narrow and delicate. 
Female genital segment short, not longer than preceding ter- 
gite, with an abruptly acute apex. 
Fiji Islands, Rewa {Muir ) , March 3, 1916, 1 female. Luzon, 
Laguna Province, Mount Maquiling {Baker), 1 male doubtfully 
of this species. The latter specimen is so imperfectly preserved 
that its identity is a matter of doubt, but it appears to represent 
this species. The forceps are nearly as long as anal valve, trian- 
gular in lateral aspect, about three times as long as basal width, 
acutely pointed. Anal valve with caudal margin somewhat sin- 
uate, bulging caudad midway. 
The specimen from Fiji bears the same date of collection as 
that examined by Kirkaldy, but there is no indication that he 
had examined it.
