As to the taxonomic relationships of this species to the closely related species occurring in S. E. Asia I already gave the comparative notes at some length in my 1974 paper. 38*. Trypoxylon tainanense STRAND, 1922, rf new (Figs. 16-24) Trypoxylon tainanense: TSUNEKI, 1972b*, p. 1.; HANEDA, 1972, p. 4. Specimens e x a m i n e d: 1 9 1 rf, Takao, 6. VII. 1907 ( 9 ), 9. VIII. 1907 (çf); 1 rf, Tainan, II. 1909. Description off/. Length 7-8 mm. Black; mandible ferruginous brown except black base and reddish apex, palpi ferruginous and tarsi of legs castaneous brown (originally black?); wings hyaline, veins and stigma ferruginous. Hairs on lower face extending up to lower margins of eye incisions and on clypeus dense, appressed and silvery, on vertex and dorsal side of thorax-complex greyish white, fairly long, on side of head and thorax silverily glittering. In general structure similar to 9 , except antenna and clypus. Ocelli in an equilateral triangle, the median slightly smaller and in the frontal shield which is in form as in 9 (cf. TSUNEKI, 1972b, Fig. 1), OOD : POD = 5:6, postocellar diameter relatively 4, eye incision comparatively broad as in T. subpileatum, but the interantennal enclosure markedly different in form from this and also slightly so from 9 (Fig- lö

> cf. Fig. 22 in 9 )> ratio of IO D at vertex and at base of clypeus 4: 3, clypeus (Fig. 17) less strongly produced anteriorly than in 9 (Fig. 23), disc gently roundly elevated and broadly flattened and slightly reflected at the anterior margin, but the flattened (slightly brownish) part distinctly narrower than in 9- Antenna robuster than in 9? joint 3 appr. 1.7 times as long as broad at apex, ultimate joint slightly bent and slightly longer than 3 (but less than 4) preceding joints united (Fig. 18). On propodeum area dorsalis subcordiform, well marginated by the furrow and medially longitudinally broadly impressed, posterior aspect more broadly and more deeply furrowed in middle, furrow not reaching apex and on posterior half margined and costated by strong carinae, dorsal and posterior aspects of segment separated from sides by a distinct carina accompanied inside by a crenate furrow (structure is covered by glittering thick hairs decumbent forwards and not well visible). Abdominal tergite 1 (Fig 19, cf. Fig. 24, 9 ) with relative length and maximum and minimum width 70, 12 and 5, spiracles at about a fourth from base, tergites 2 and 3 subequal in length, 2 with relative length and apical width 30 and 18. In fore wing radial cell ended far before reaching apex, transverse cubital vein appr. vertical to 2nd abscissa of radial vein (in subpileatum slightly oblique). Genitalia seen from beneath: Fig. 20, dissected left half seen from inside : Fig. 21, paramere simple and slender at apex, not bifurcate, provided with a lamellate semicylindric pouch inside, penis valve (P in the figure) parallelsided, without shoulder-shaped projections near apex and the sickle-shaped appendages obliquely produced and subcontiguous to penis apex, free part very short (normal to the species?), volsella appearing at apex of basal ring slender and long. Frontal shield finely sparsely punctured, with interspaces microreticulate, sculpture comparatively strong and surface somewhat shining, vertex similarly, but more finely and weakly sculptured, mesoscutum more sparsely (intervals 1-3 times the width of a puncture), more finely and weakly punctured, with interspaces more weakly microcoriaceous, surface half mat, mesopleuron with sculpture similar in pattern to mesoscutum, but punctures larger, longitudinally lengthened and partly subrugosely confluent, dorsal area of propodeum at base longitudinally, somewhat rugosely, posteriorly transversely,
