99. Anisops nasuta Fieber

(under A. niveus Fabricius),

Rhynchotographieen. Abh. Bohm. Ges. Wiss. V, 7: 484, sep. 60, 1851.

Eight specimens, Inarajan, May 7, Usinger .

The single male in the present series agrees perfectly with Lundblad's description and figures (Arch. Hydrobiol., Suppl. 12: 168, 1933). The distinctly produced vertex in the male will distinguish this from other Oceanian species. I collected a second species with produced vertex in the Philippines which is smaller, and has much stouter and differently formed front tibiae. A. nasuta has been reported from India, Ceylon, Java, Sumatra, Celebes, New Guinea, Australia, Samoa, Formosa, and China.
