2. Pyrrhoneura bivittata, new species (fig. 5, a-f).

Vertex triangular, projecting distinctly in front of eyes, nearly as broad as long; the lateral margins strongly elevated, nearly meeting on the apex of the head, with a double row of small pustules. Frons elongate, nearly four times as long as the width between the compound eyes; lateral margins nearly parallel to clypeal border and then suddenly flaring, with a single row of small pustules; median carina indistinct. First segment of antennae short; second nearly seven times as long as first, reaching to the middle of the compound eyes; strongly pustulate. Pronotum short, deeply incised posteriorly, strongly flared; mesonotum large, ecarinate.

Geriital plates of male elongate, narrow; apex produced into a broad triangular tooth which is directed dorsad; anal segment elongate, about as long as the genital plate.

General color of the body including the legs ochraceous yellow with a lateral blackish fuscous vitta; tegmina milky subhyaline; wings milky subhyaline; veins concolorous.

Length: to apex of abdomen, 2.9 mm.; to apex of tegmina, 5 mm.

Holotype male, Yigo, Nov. 13, on Cacao, Swezey; allotype female, Dededo, Sept. 7, on Guettarda, Swezey; paratype, one female, Dededo, Sept. 7, on Ficus tinctoria (hodda), Swezey.

This species may be readily recognized bythe blackish fuscous fasciaacross the base of the frons which is continued across the lateral margins of the head and thorax as a blackish fuscous vitta and to the apex of the tegmina as a broad pale fuscous vitta.
