Sphaeniscus and Euphranta — Hardy 
83 
Bering have been placed in the genus Stau- 
rocneros. 
Genotype of Staurella: S. crux (Fabricius). 
One new species is at hand from the 
Philippines. 
Euphranta ( Staurella ) canangae n. sp. 
Fig. 4 a-d 
This species appears to be closely related 
to Euphranta {Staurella) linocierae Hardy from 
Australia but the coloration of the wing and 
body, and the wing venation differ consider- 
ably in the two species. The most striking 
differences are as follows: in canangae the 
subcostal cell is short, about half as long as 
the second costal cell and vein Ri+ 2 ends well 
before a point opposite the r-m crossvein, in 
linocierae the subcostal cell is about three- 
fourths as long as the second costal cell and 
R 1+2 ends beyond r-m; in canangae the hyaline 
mark which extends from the median portion 
of the costa is situated before the r-m cross- 
vein and extends only to vein R4+5, in lino- 
cierae it is situated beyond r-m and extends 
almost to the posterior margin of the wing; 
in canangae the r-m cross vein is situated be- 
yond the middle of cell 1st M 2 , in linocierae 
before the middle; in canangae the hyaline 
spot on the costal margin near the end of cell 
R 2 is separated from the median hyaline spot 
by a distance equal to or greater than two 
times its length (Fig. 4a), rather than being 
narrowly separated from the median mark by 
less than its length as it is in linocierae; no 
hyaline spot is present in cell 2nd M 2 of 
canangae, whereas in linocierae a spot is present 
(Hardy, 1951: 177, Fig. 28£). 
MALE 
Head: Largely yellow to rufous, with slight 
brownish discoloration in the median portion 
of the front. The front is about two times 
longer than wide and has three pairs of strong 
inferior fronto-orbitals and one pair of su- 
perior fronto-orbital bristles. The post vertical 
bristles are moderately strong, and are about 
half as long as the superior fronto-orbitals. 
Fig. 4. Euphranta {Staurella) canangae n. sp. a , Wing; 
b , lateral aspect of abdomen and basal segment of 
ovipositor; c, apex of piercer; d, antenna. 
The face is concave in profile and is unmarked. 
The antennae are reddish yellow, the arista is 
long pubescent. The third segment is about 
two times longer than wide and is slightly 
narrowed apically (Fig. 4 d). 
Thorax: The mesonotum is chiefly reddish 
brown, the median portion is yellowish in 
ground color and the mesonotum has a nar- 
row yellow vitta extending down each side 
from the suture to the hind margin. A broad 
yellow vitta also extends on each side from 
the scutellum through the area between the 
inner supraalar and the dorsocentral bristles 
cephalad to just beyond the inner supraalars. 
The humeri and the area between them and 
the notopleura are yellow. The dorsocentral
