frons is quite unspotted, excepting the black ocellar dot; the 
face lacks the upper black spot; the episternal callosities are 
broadly yellowish; the black abdominal band lacks the middle 
point on that of the third segment, and there is no black stripe 
between the two black patches of the last segment; the basal 
segment of the ovipositor is reddish brown. 
4. Chaetodacus ablepharus sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 2. 
Very much like the preceding species {C. atrichus) , but at 
once distinguished by the entirely black abdomen. 
Luzon, Tayabas Province, Malinao {Baker) : Laguna Prov- 
ince, Mount Banahao {Baker) . Types in Professor Baker’s 
collection. 
Male and female. — Length of body, 4.5 millimeters; of wing, 
4.3. Head as in the preceding, but yellow occipital border 
narrower; at vertex a smaff but distinct transverse black band, 
including black ocellar dot; face in both sexes with a black 
crossband, extending on its lower half. Mesonotum and scutel- 
lum as in the preceding, but back distinctly more shining; 
supra-alar stripe narrower and ending at suture, presutural 
spot before it being quite wanting. Halteres whitish. Abdo- 
men as in the preceding but completely black, only the extreme 
hind border at last segment being narrowly reddish in the 
male; male genitalia and ovipositor entirely black. Legs as 
in the preceding, but femora more broadly and more intensely 
black; posterior tibiae blackish in the male and all tibiae black 
in the female. Wings (Plate I, fig. 2) as in the preceding; 
marginal cell a little subhyaline in the middle, the costal border 
being thus even narrower, thin fringe at hind border of axillary 
lobe longer than in the preceding species; supernumerary lobe 
of the male more exaggerated. 
Note. — The present species is closely allied to Chaetodacus 
cilifer Hendel, from Formosa, which, however, has prescutellar 
bristles and a ciliated third abdominal segment in the male. If 
is always a question which of the species C. ablepharus and 
C. cilifer may or may not be the same as C. terminifer Walker, 
from Macassar. 
5. Chaetodacus ablepharus mindanaus var. nov. 
Distinct from the species in some minor details of the pattern 
of the head. 
Mindanao, Davao {Baker). Type in Professor Baker’s col- 
lection. 
Female. — Differs only in the want of the black crossband
