Eight specimens; four males, fom- females; Island of Obi, Moluccas. 

 [A. N. S. Phila. and collection of Morgan Hebard.] 



It appears to me that the above names were based on different 

 sexes of the same species. The specimens examined agree almost 

 absolutely with the descriptions, and such characters as the annulation 

 of the antennse and the structure of the pronotum and the head, as well 

 as the extent of the rugosity of the mesonotum, are identical in the two 

 sexes. Bates says the tegmina of the male "are of a yellowish colour, 

 brown towards their tips, but sometimes uniform 3'ellow." All the 

 four males examined have tlie coloration uniform. 



The rugosity of the mesonotum of both sexes is distinctly more pro- 

 nounced anteriorly, which also holds true regarding the mesosternmn. 



The rangf^ of this species now covers Gilolo. Batchian and Obi, of 

 the MoJuccan grou]). 



Calvisia maculicollis (Westwood). 



1848. Phnsma {Necroscia) macidicollis Westwood, Cabinet Orient. Entom., 



PI. XXXVIII, fig. 2. [Assam and Sylbet.] 

 1893. Cialmsict] airosignata Brunner, Ann. Mus. Civ. Stor. Nat. Geneva, 



XXXIII, p. 85, tab.' Ill, fig. 27. [Bhamo, Burma and Meetan, Tenas- 



serim.] 



One female ; Trong, Lower Siam. (Dr. W. L. Abbott.) [U. S. N. M.] 

 After critically examining the figures of Westwood's maculicollis 

 and Brunner's atrosignata, there appeals to be no doubt but that they 

 are based on the same species. Brunner's specimens are described as 

 being more uniform in the coloration of the costal portion of the 

 wings, l^ut the Trong specimen agrees exactly with Westwood's figure. 

 This species has been recorded from Java by Westwood and Sumatra 

 by Brunner, as well as from the localities mentioned above. 



Calvisia nigrofasciata (Haan). 



1842. P[hasma] (Necroscia) nigrofasciatuni Haan, Verliandel. Xatuurlijke 

 Geschied. Nederl. overzees. Bezitt., Orth., p. 122. [Batang Singalang.] 



One male ; Goenong Soegi, Lampong, Sumatra. October-November, 

 1901. (A. C. Harrison, Jr., and Dr. H. M. Ililler.) [A. N. S. Phila.] 



This specimen agrees very well with Haan's very brief description. 

 A pecuhar coloration not noticed in the original diagnosis is the longi- 

 tudinal black and greenish-white lined limits and antenna.
