![soon oxanij)Ies of uiulosci’ihod sjx'cit's of Ldsiuhclcd from New Ireland and New I^ritain, wliieli seem allied to but distinct from this Samoan form. A female from Idji, Nansori, v.1921 (R. W'itcli) is very similar to L. sdmomsis, })ut has the antennae still shoider and the wings less hairy. .‘}8. Atnchopogon jacobsonl (de Meij.). Ccralopofjoi} jacohso)ii dc Mcijcrc, 'lijd. v.

Fiji : Laiitoka, numerous specimens, 9.iii.l919, 22.xi.1921 (Green¬ wood) ; Labasa, vii.1921 (Veitch), The specimens agree sufficiently well with those of A. cavernarum in the British Museum, from the IMalay Peninsula and Assam, and specimens of the same species were collected by Miss Cheesman in Tahiti. Although material is not available for comparison, it would seem practically certain, in view of the known distribution, that A. jdcohsoni de Meij. (Java) and A. nnmaculatus Kieff. (New Guinea) are the same. The slight discrepancies in the descriptions may be overlooked and the species known as A. jacobsoni. A. fidvellus Kieffer (India .ind Philippine Islands) apj^arently differs in having the flagellum and abdomen pale instead of dark brown to blackish, but this is probably only because the specimens upon which the description of A. flavellus was based were preserved in spirit. On the other hand the specimens from Ceylon, which I have recorded elsewhere under the name A.jdcobsoni, belong to a different though allied species, in which the last segment of all the tarsi is conspicuously black, and Cui is more oblique. 39. Atrichopogon abrasus, sp. n. $. Head, including antennae and palpi, also face in G', blackish ; face of 9 ochreous. Proboscis shorter than height of head. Eyes touching, clothed all over with very short pubescence. Antennae of ''vith last four segments subequal in length ; of $ with first eight flagellar segments globular, last five each about three times as long as broad. Thorax brownish oclneous, scarcely shining ; scutum with three confluent brown stripes, which are sometimes very little darker than ground colour. Scutellum with four black bristles.
