pitted; anterior acetabula have four pits, two either side of the cleft; the middle acetabula have six pits three either side of the cleft: the middle acetabula have six pits three either side and parallel with the cleft; the hind acetabula may have three pits in transverse row on top, these may be confluent into one deep transverse pit. Femora: The anterior femora do not quite attain the apex of the head; the posterior femora just attain the tip of the abdomen m the male and to the posterior margin of the fifth abdominal in ihe female. Abdomen: Length, 130 units (male), 177 units (f emale); the male has two hairy patches on the sixth ventral and some scattered longer hairs on the two segments preceding this; the first five lergites are smooth and polished and broader than the connexiva; the dorsal terminal process is curved as shown in figures on Plate VIII. Described from eight specimens from W. Sumatra and one from java. Holotype, allotype, and some paratypes in Vienna Museum. Others in University of Kansas Entomological Museum and the one from Java in the U. S. National Musenm. Notes. This species is related to H. lineata ESCHSCH. from the Philippines and to the following species. It is v distinguished from the former by the shape of the terminal segments and from the latter by having very definitely marked patches of hairs on the sixth ventral ab­dominal of the male as well as by the direction of the caudal process. Hydrometra albolineata (SCOTT) IS74. (1'late YIII). Limnobates albolineata SCOTT, Annals and Mag. Nat. Hist, Vol. XIV, Fourth Seric-s, 1874, p. 447. Mr. SCOTT described this species from Japan. The type is in the British Museum. DISTANT (4) confused this species with H. vittata STAL fromthe Philippines (= //. lineata ESCHSCH) and H. Greeni KIRKALDY from Ceylon. We have compared a paratype of H. albo­lineata SCOTT with the type of 7/. Greeni KIRKALDY. The clypeus is blunt in H. albolineata SCOTT and sharp in H. Greeni KIRK. The pronotum of H. albolineata SCOTT is less pitted. The dorsum of the last abdominal segment of the female is broader in front than be­hind whereas in H. Greeni KIRK. this segment is as wide or wider behind than in front. (See Plate VIII). The connexiva are broader
