A specimen, received from Or. Cleland, differs SMincwhat from 

 the type in having the thorax chestnut, with a median black- 

 narrow stripe, and clothed with golden scales, the tarsi of the 

 hind-legs with basal pale banding: the stem of the first fork -cell 

 about two-thirds the length of the cell, and that of the second 

 the length of the cell; abdomen, beneath, with basal creamy 

 banding tt) the segments. 



Until further specimens are available, it is thought best to 

 retain it undei- the above name.

This species, though closely related to C. sitiens Wied., appears 

 to be a good one, the leg-banding being prominent and well 

 defined. 



Through an error in setting up tlie type, the abdominal char- 

 acters were omitted. They are as follows: — Abdomeii black, first 

 segment black-scaled with numerous yellowish hairs, remaining 

 segments with white basal banding; venter pale-scaled.

•Specimens of B. Ihieatojii'nHis Ludlow, were recently received 

 from The Imperial Bureau of Entomology, which proved to be 

 the same as P. linealis mihi. It is evidently a widely distributed 

 species, as it extends from South Africa through the Philippine 

 Islands to Australia.
