and partly on prothorax, longitudinal band on anterior part 
of mesothorax, large spot on each side of disk, line over tegule, 
spot in front of each axilla, very broad band across first abdo- 
minal segment (the posterior margin broadly incised in middle, 
the lateral corners of the incised area pointed), broad bands 
(narrowly interrupted in middle) on second to fifth segments; 
spot on hind coxe, outer side of middle and anterior tibiz, but 
only basal half of hind tibize, and a few blue scales on anterior 
tarsi. Middle and hind tarsi and the W-like scutellum without 
blue; wings dark fuliginous; clypeus finely and closely punc- 
tured; flagellum obscurely reddish beneath. 
Luzon, Laguna, Los Bafios (Baker). A beautiful species, dis- 
tinguished from C. rostrata Friese by the immaculate scutellum 
and dark basitarsi. It is very closely related to C. nitidula 
Fabricius from Amboina, but is larger, with somewhat different 
scutellum, and the markings clear cobalt blue, not greenish blue. 
The name nitidula has been applied to various forms, but I 
have seen a specimen from Amboina, the original locality... It is 
possible that the Philippine and Amboina insects may be found 
to represent only races of one species, but they are more likely 
to be distinct, without intergrading forms. 
The following species from Celebes is described, as it was 
sent by Professor Baker with the Philippine collection: 
Crocisa kalidupana sp. nov. 
Male.—Length, about 9 millimeters; black, the tegument of 
abdomen slightly purplish; light markings pale gray, with lilac 
scales sparsely intermixed on prothorax, pleura, sides of abdo- 
men, and legs; light patches and spots as follows: Face and 
sides of front, band on cheeks, interrupted band on prothorax 
(slightly invading mesothorax), large rounded patch on pleura, 
five spots on mesothorax (the anterior median one short and 
those before axillee small), very broad band on first abdominal 
segments, very broadly incised in middle, the corners of the 
incision pointed, broadly interrupted bands on the other seg- 
ment, outer side of anterior tibie, and large spots on basal 
half of middle and hind tibie. Scutellum (which is —*—-like) 
and tarsi without light marks; wings dark fuliginous; anterior 
femora very small, reddish; hind femora with a sharp thorn- 
like tooth beneath. é 
CELEBES, Kalidupa (H. Kiihn). Related to C. quartinz Gri- 
bodo, but easily separated by the color of the markings. The

without dark marks” read “without light marks.”
