SOME MALAYAN DELPHACIDAC (HOMOPTERA)

ONE PLATE 
This paper deals with a few of the specimens of Delphacidae 
recently collected by Prof. C. F. Baker. I hope in the near 
future to be able to report on the remainder of the collection. 
The more I study this family the more I am convinced that 
the tibial spur must form the chief characteristic for the pri- 
mary division, although it may appear to be, at times, more 
artificial than natural. Any other one character is still more 
unsatisfactory. 
The types of the new species described in this paper are 
deposited in the collection of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Ex- 
periment Station, Honolulu, H. T., and the paratypes, when 
present, in the Baker collection. 
Genus PTJROHITA Distant 
Furohita mgxipes sp. nov. 
Male. — Macropterous ; width of vertex at base slightly more 
than length, base slightly behind middle of eyes, twice width 
of apex; basal joint of antennae 1.5 times the length of second. 
Very light brown; apical half of face, genae, and lateral mar- 
gins of pronotum whitish, a dark brown line dividing the white 
lateral portion of pronotum from the rest, darker brown over 
abdominal tergites, a dark longitudinal mark on first and second 
femora, tarsi of those legs black or dark brown. Tegmina 
hyaline, slightly opaque, veins white with irregular black spots, 
a dark brown mark over cross veins, not quite reaching to inner 
margin and fading out toward apex; wings hyaline, slightly 
opaque, veins light brown. 
Lateroventral edge of pygophor produced into a small, obtuse 
angular process; genital styles straight on inner margin and 
on outer margin for basal two-thirds, then tapering to the acute 
apex, which is curved outward.
