the last two or three joints of fore and middle legs ; last two hind 
tarsals all white, but for a narrow black band on the middle of the 
fourth joint. Thorax with white curved scales on a dark ground, too' 
denuded to define ornamentation, if any. Abdomen with narrow 
snowy basal bands and large lateral basal spots. Proboscis unbanded. 
Generally resembles the 8. fasciata group, but differs in all the tibiae 
having broad white bands. 
$ . Head with a broad median patch of flat white scales; basal 
joints of antennae conspicuously white scaled; apices of palpi clothed 
with bushy white scales. Pleurae with numerous white patches ; 
scutellum white scaled. There are several conspicuous white dots on 
the hind and middle femora, and the bases of the hind ones are 
extensively, and of the middle pair narrowly, white; venter black 
with broad white basal bands. A very minute species. 
Habitat .—The Philippine Islands. “ Taken in the woods.” 
Type in the British Museum. 
Note. —Mr. Carter has examined the type of this species and 
says as follows :—“ Head has flat scales ; scutellum partly 
denuded, but many flat scales are present towards the margin 
and several narrow-curved ones at the base ; these however have 
the appearance of having been brushed off from the thorax.” 
Genus PSEUDOCARROLLIA. Theobald (1910). 
Rec. Ind. Mus. 12, IV., 1910. 
Head clothed with flat scales and upright forked scales, a 
border of spindle-shaped scales around the eyes. Palpi of 9 
about one-fourth the length of the proboscis. Thorax with 
narrow-curved scales ; scutellum with flat scales. Abdomen with 
dense ventral scale tufts on some of the apical segments. Fork¬ 
cell rather short, vein scales rather thick. 
Allied to Carrollia (Lutz), but differs in having the scutellum 
with all flat scales and in the absence of narrow curved scales 
forming a median basal area on the head. 
The marked ventral abdominal scale tufts resemble those of 
Carrollia and Haemagogus.

Head black, a white bender to eyes, eyes silvery above; 
proboscis and palpi jet-black; thorax with the front bright
