PACIFIC SCIENCE, Vol. IX, January, 1955 
bristles are situated closer to a line drawn 
between the posterior supraalar bristles than 
to one drawn between the inner supraalars. 
The pleura are yellow to rufous. The meso- 
pleura each have three bristles near the upper 
margin. One sternopleural bristle is present. 
The scutellum is reddish brown in the median 
portion (between the median bristles) and is 
yellow on the sides. The metanotum is black. 
The pleuroterga are thickly covered with fine 
yellow hairs. The halteres are yellow. 
Legs: Entirely rufous. 
Wings: As in Figure 4 a. 
Abdomen: Almost entirely reddish brown, 
rather polished, on the dorsum, yellow on the 
venter; with a median yellow vitta extending 
down the dorsum from the base over segment 
four, and with the sides of terga one to three 
narrowly yellow. The fifth tergum has a row 
of strong black bristles at its apex. The gen- 
italia are rather small and inconspicuous, 
mostly concealed within the broad fifth 
tergum. 
Length: body, 6.3 mm.; wings, 5.5 mm. 
FEMALE 
Fitting the description of the male except 
for genital characters. The ovipositor is elon- 
gate and very distinctive. The basal portion 
(in situ ) is about equal in length to the re- 
mainder of the abdomen (Fig. Ah). The ex- 
tended ovipositor is about 7.2 mm. long. The 
basal segment is 2.7 mm. long by 1.2 mm. 
at its widest point. The spiracles are situated 
midway of the segment, about 1.2 mm. from 
the anterior lateral margins. The inversion 
membrane is about 2.48 mm. long by 0.27 
mm. at its widest point. The rasper is situated 
approximately 0.41 mm. from the base of the 
segment. The piercer is 2 mm. long by 0.13 
mm. and the oviduct opens about 0.2 mm. 
from the tip. The piercer has two preapical 
notches on each side (Fig. Ac) but apparently 
has no preapical setae. 
Holotype male, Los Banos, Philippine Is- 
lands, Mar. 1947, ex ilang-ilang [ylang-ylang, 
Cananga odorata (Lam.)] (L. B. Uichanco). 
Allotype female and four paratypes, 3 males, 
1 female, same data as type and one paratype 
female, Bohol Is., P. L, January, 1948 (Q. C. 
Chock). 
The type and allotype are in the United 
States National Museum collection. The para- 
types are in the following collections : Bernice 
P. Bishop Museum, Territorial Board of Agri- 
culture and Forestry, Honolulu, and Univer- 
sity of Hawaii.
