PACIFIC SCIENCE, VoL VI, April, 1952 
and venter of thorax more or less brown. 
Wing membranes white, forewings with dark 
brown maculations as figured. 
structure: Body surface punctate. Head 
and pronotum deflexed from plane of body. 
Head much wider than mesoscutum. Vertex 
strongly narrowed anteriorly, produced each 
side of median ocellus, emarginate next to 
eyes, with distinct discal impressions, lateral 
ocelli strongly raised at posterior corners. 
Genae produced as short, blunt, contiguous 
or slightly separated processes, covering 
frons, antennal sockets touching eyes. An- 
tennae variable from less than 1.5 times as 
long as width of head to 1.6 as long. Eyes 
scarcely recessive, appearing somewhat stalked 
because of constriction around base. Prono- 
tum large. Forewings broadly rounded, slight- 
ly over twice as long as wide, membrane 
thickly set with minute points; pterostigma 
long and narrow, marginal cells large, about 
equal. Hind wings with closely set minute 
points. Metatibiae with very small basal 
callus, 1 outer and 3 or 4 inner apical spines. 
Proximal segment of metatarsi with 1 outer 
black claw. 
Male proctiger strongly produced caudad 
in basal half, terminating in large, heavily 
sclerotized hook, apical half slender, cylindri- 
cal, apex oblique. Forceps about as long as 
proctiger; in lateral view broad, margins 
sinuate, apex broadly emarginate, large 
anteromesal lobe, anterior corner of apex 
small, sharp, posterior produced as blunt 
lobe; in caudal view nearly straight to blunt 
black tips. Female genital segment shorter 
than rest of abdomen; dorsal valve elongate, 
blunt; ventral valve shorter, sharp. 
HOLOTYPE, male, allotype, female, numer- 
ous paratypes from Hakea acicularis, Houhora, 
October 3. One additional paratype, Wark- 
worth, October 1, and many from the same 
host near Tauranga, November 2. 
HOST PLANT: Hakea acicularis R. Br. 
Apparently introduced from Australia with 
the host plant, this small species was abun- 
dant on it at Houhora and Tauranga on the 
dates given. Keith L. Taylor of the Division 
of Entomology, in Canberra, Australia, has 
taken a closely related species from Hakea 
dactyloides in New South Wales. 
Psylla (Actzzia) dodonaeae n. sp. 
Fig. 5 
Length to tip of folded wings 2.25- 
2.73 mm. 
COLOR: General color of body white to 
pale buff, dorsum with orange and brown 
markings forming broken lines. Abdomen 
green. Forewings transparent, membrane 
slightly yellowish with light brown markings 
resembling the pattern of P. acaciae but much 
less distinct. 
STRUCTURE: Body surface rough, shining. 
Dorsum with minute pubescence. Head and 
pronotum deflexed. Head wider than meso- 
scutum. Vertex plane with large discal im- 
pressions, narrowed anteriorly, produced 
above median ocellus, not as long as eyes 
laterally, lateral ocelli raised, at posterior 
corners. Genae produced as short cones, not 
quite touching basally, somewhat divergent, 
antennal sockets touching eyes. Antennae 
twice as long as width of head. Eyes not re- 
cessive, distinctly separated from vertex. 
Postocular sclerites well developed. Thorax 
moderately arched. Pronotum long, angular, 
and abruptly margined anteriorly. Forewings 
rounded apically, long, 2.75 times as long as 
wide, membrane thickly set with prominent 
points except along veins, fine alar radular 
areas; venation much as in P. acaciae, marginal 
cells larger. Hind wings long, 0.8 as long as 
forewings. Metatibiae with small basal spur, 
1 outer and 3 inner apical spines. Proximal 
segment of metatarsi with 1 outer black claw. 
Proctiger of male produced caudad basally, 
terminating in large, lightly sclerotized hook, 
apical half slender, cylindrical, curved caudad. 
Forceps shorter than proctiger; in lateral view 
broad basally, suddenly narrowed, then 
curved caudad to blunt black tips; in caudal 
view nearly straight to apical third, then
