are no traces of eggs in this ? , nor in the later one hatched, and it remains yet 

 to be seen if the S is fertile. Judging from this result we must keep simht and 

 japonica distinct. 



This ease may be on a par with Anthereti hybr. Kirhiil raised by my old corres- 

 pondent Mons. Alfred Wailly in 1881, which he got to pair with one another and 

 which he reared through three generations. Others, however, have since bred this 

 hybrid, bnt the specimens are uniformly all unfertUe. A pair of Wailly's original 

 hybrid which he sent to me are in the collection of the Manchester Museum. 

 Perhaps others who cross C. japonica and C. simla may under other conditions induce 

 fertility in the hybrid. 



In describing this hybrid I wish to associate Mr. Salmon's name with it, calling 

 it C. hyb. mlmoiii. 



Colour intermediate hetweea Japonica and simla; forewings more pointed than 

 either parent ; the eye-spot well within the pale central fascia. Hindwing with the 

 marginal line as pronounced as in simla, m japonicn the line being very faint or 

 wanting. 



Two ? ? , one in my own and one in Mr. A. E. Salmon's collection. 



NEW ANTHEIBIDAE IN THE COLLECTION OE 

 H. E. ANDREWES. 



By Dr. K. JORDAN. 



nPHE types of the new Anthrihidae described below are in the collection of 

 H. E. Andrewes, one or more cotypes being in each case presented to the 

 Tring Museum. The specimens were collected by H. L. Andrewes, if not stated 

 otherwise. 



1. Physopterus callocerus spec. nov. 



S ¥. Niger, fulvo pubescens, sparsim griseo guttatns. Antennae rufae, griseo- 

 rnfo pubescentes, clava nigra, segmento 2° in ntroque sexu tertio breviore. 

 Prothorax serie transversa guttarnm grisearum notatus. Elytra post medinm 

 valde convexa, hand tnbercnlata, trientibns basali ajiicaliijue griseo pubescentibus, 

 duabus guttis rotundis una subbasali altera ante apicem sitis nigro-velntinis. 

 Tibiae tarsique rnfescentes, griseo-rufo pubescentes, non annulati. 



Long. (cap. excl.) 7 — 9 mm. 



5 tJc? and 3 ? ? from the Nilgiri Hills, 3500 ft., rainy season, also found by 

 Capt. A. K. Weld Downing in the Ouchterlony valley, Nilgiris, at 35UU ft., on 

 tree-stems, in June. 



The grey spots are fairly distinct on the elytra excepting a transverse belt in 

 front of the apical declivity. The elytra are transversely depressed behind the 

 bnt slightly elevate snbbasal callosities, and somewhat resemble in shape those 

 of P. gibbosus Gner. (1843), bnt are shorter, as is also the prothorax. The bright- 

 coloured antennae and the two velvety black spots on each elytrum distinguish 

 this species at a glance.
