274 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY, Vol. XII. 



This species I have also described in this journal as cited above. 

 The type specimen of this species is simply labelled India. But 

 examples sent from Madras by Mr. Thurston appear to be co-specific 

 with it. 



ArthorsYihcGra hdescens (Butler). (Pi. B, figs, 4-4a.) 



Zephronia lutescens, Butler, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (4), X, p. 356 

 (1872) ; also Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1873, p. 179, pi. xix, fig. 9. 



In the Bombay Nat. Hist, Soc, VIL p. 145, 1892, I added this 

 species to the synonymy of A. heterosticta of Newport. But until we 

 have more conclusive evidence of the identity of the two forms, it is 

 wiser to regard them as distinct, though the two are undoubtedly 

 closely allied. 



There is no locality nearer than India known for the t}^e, 

 Arthrosphcera atrisparsa (Butler). (PI. B, fig. 5.) 



Zephronia atrlsp>arsa, Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc., 1878, p. 302. 



This species also was regarded by myself as identical with 

 A. heterosticta, from which, however, it differs in possessing the secondary 

 arched groove on the second tergite, a character in which it resembles 

 A . lutescens, of which it will perhaps prove to be the male when 

 freshly preserved and numerous examples come to hand for examina- 

 iion. 



Locality. — Bombay District. A single male example, 

 Arthrosphcera leopardina (Butler). 



Zephronia leopardina, Butler, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (4), X, p. 356 

 (1872) ; id., Proc. Zool. Soc. Lend., 1873, p. 181, pi. xix, fig. 10. 



I previously added this species to the synonymy oi A. inermis. It 

 may however be recognised from A. inerinis at least by the presence of 

 the crest on the inner side of the anal tergite. The type specimen 

 is small and possibly immature, and the value that is to be attached to 

 the colouring is, 1 think, doubtful. 



Locality. — Ceylon {R. Templeton), 



Arthrosphcera marmorata (Butler). (PI. B, figs. 6-Ga.) 



Zephronia marmorata, Butler, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (5), IX, p. 

 197 (1882). 



llie characters of this species, based upon badly preserved speci- 

 mens, without record of exact locality in India, are set forth in the 

 subjoined synoptical table of species.
