  • 1. Glipa guamensis, new species. Black, with markings of white pubescence. Scutellum clothed with white pubescence. Elytra each with four transverse white bands, one near base broadly interrupted on shoulder, the second narrower, chevron-like, with point directed forward just before the middle, 3d similar, midway between this and apex, 4th crescentic, subapical, none of them encroaching upon sutural margin or epipleura, apex of each rounded, minutely denticulate. Anal style more than twice as long as hypopygium, with patch of white pubescence on each side near base. Underside and legs black with a patch of white pubescence on each side of first four segments of abdomen; posterior margin of these segments shining, glabrous; metasternum and posterior legs shining with thin black pubescence.

Allied to the common and widely distributed Glipa tricolor Wiedemann but differs in the form of the elytral markings and the more thinly pubescent and shining underside with but little white pubescence.
