Singapore, British Straits Settlements, Malay Peninsula, (from 

 C. F. Baker), 1 d^, 1 9. 



The original description of this interesting species is inexcusably 

 brief. No mention is made of the striking granulations covering 

 the dorsal surface of the pronotum, which, in the female become 

 minute but distinct tuberculations on the collar. The wings are 

 transparent, tinged with a delicate pink, except proximad in the 

 marginal field, where they are tinged with green. 



The length of the female tegmen as given by Giglio-Tos, 13.5 

 mm., is apparently in error, as he states "elytris angustata, ab- 

 domine longiora." Probably 23.5 mm. was intended. 



The measurements of the pair before us are as follows: length of 

 body, cf 22, 9 34; length of pronotum, cf 8, 9 11.8; greatest width 

 of pronotum, cf 1.9, 9 2.9; length of tegmen, d^ 14.3, 9 23.7; 

 width of tegminal marginal field, cf 1.2, 9 2; length of caudal 

 femur, cf 5.3, 9 7.2 mm.

Giglio-Tos' treatment of eight new species, of which moultoni 

 is the second, is pitiably superficial and brief, as usual without a 

 single figure. Particularly reprehensible is the fact that in no case 

 is a single transverse dimension given, leaving the reader in complete 

 ignorance as to the slenderness or robustness of the species de- 

 scribed. 



The male before us has the margin of the suture mesad above 

 the ocelli minutely angulate produced ventrad, as may be expected 

 for this sex of a species of Acromantis in which the females have 

 no trace of a tubercle at this point. This specimen very closely 

 resembles the male before us oi A. oligoneura (Haan), differing in 

 not having a minute but distinct tubercle above the ocelli and in 

 having the oblique portions of the discoidal and median veins of 

 the tegmina more strongly curved toward their bases. The dis- 

 coidal field of the tegmina is colorless, hyaline, weakly reticulated 

 with green veins, the third and fourth of the oblique veins mar- 

 gined along their proximal portion with a brown suffusion. 



The female has no trace of angulate production or tubercle above 

 the ocelh. The discoidal field of the tegmina is colorless, hyaline, 

 with veins similar to those of the male but with the reticulation 

 somewhat smaller and closer and with no suffusions whatever. The
