6. Claspers well developed, extending well 
beyond apices of ninth sternum. Lobes of 
ninth tergum converging and each with 
a strong apical spine (Fig. 17 a). (New 
Guinea) magnispina n.sp. 
Claspers minute, lobes of sternum strong- 
ly developed, lobes of tergum diverging, 
not bearing an apical spine (Fig. 24). 
(Ceylon) rufilatera Edwards 
7. Posterior lateral margins of ninth ster- 
num strongly lobate, the apices extend 
well beyond tips of claspers and near or 
beyond apices of ninth tergum 8 
Ninth sternum rounded on posterior lat- 
eral margins, the slightly developed lobes 
do not extend over half the length of the 
claspers or the lobes of the ninth tergum. 
(Java) morosa Edwards 
8. Ninth sternum produced into a broad, 
flat-topped, heavily sclerotized lobe pro- 
truding from the median margin. (Phil- 
lippine Islands) cana Hardy 
Ninth sternum not developed as above. 9 
9. Ninth tergum expanded laterally, from 
lateral view it is equal or wider than ster- 
num so that from side view the genitalia 
are wider than long (Fig. lb). Ninth ter- 
gum divided into two plates by a very 
deep cleft, the plates are joined at bases 
only by a narrow sclerotized line; sides of 
cleft straight or slightly expanded in 
middle. 10 
Ninth tergum not expanded laterally, 
about one-half as wide as sternum and 
genitalia much longer than wide (in lat- 
eral view). Cleft of tergum not so deep 
and V- or U-shaped 11 
10. Lobes of ninth sternum comparatively 
broad, rounded at apices, serrated on 
inner apices, over two times wider than 
claspers (Fig. la). (Netherlands New 
Guinea) disjuncta n.sp. 
Lobes of sternum slender, slightly curved 
and pointed at apices; beyond middle 
they are not as wide as the claspers (Fig. 
19^). (Northeast New Guinea) 
. monticola n.sp. 
11. Claspers small, rounded at apices, with a 
sharp-pointed subapical lobe on inner 
margin. Claspers extending scarcely one- 
third as far as lateral lobes of sternum 
(Fig. 14^). (Borneo) . fumiduia Edwards 
Claspers of moderate size, not so shaped 
and extending nearly as far as lobes of 
sternum 12 
12. Claspers blunt and rounded at apex as 
seen from a direct ventral view (Fig. 29a). 
From a lateral view a pair of dorsally 
projected lobes are developed. Mesono- 
tum subshining in the furrows. (Java) 
tristis van der Wulp 
Claspers not as above, with no secondary 
lobes on dorsal surface. Mesonotum en- 
tirely opaque 1 3 
13- Claspers rounded or subacute at apices 14 
Claspers square tipped. (Borneo) 
fumida Edwards 
14. Claspers strongly curved, with a capitate 
rounded apical lobe and the basal portion 
slightly hollowed out and expanded lat- 
erally. Sternum with a pair of moderately 
large submedian lobes. Antennae 9- 
segmented. (Indonesia) . . . . furva Hardy 
Claspers subacute, not capitate, basal 
portion not hollowed out and with inner 
basal margins joined by a narrow sclero- 
tized bridge. Ninth sternum without sub- 
median lobes. Antenna 8-segmented. 
(Caroline Islands) . . . palauensis Hardy 
15. Thorax dull red with 3 brownish red vit- 
tae extending down mesonotum. Pleura 
discolored with brown on upper portion. 
16 
At least mesonotum bright orange to 
rufous, sometimes with a brown to black 
spot on front margin 17
