0. guttatus is related to and perhaps synonymous with distinctus 

 Brunetti and nyasae Brunetti. Its wing venation (pi. 3, fig. 6) sug- 

 gests placement in the colei group, but the male genitalia gives much 

 evidence in support of my placing it in the eugonatus group (see pi. 10, 

 fig. 66; pi. 11, fig. 81; pi. 12, fig. 91). It would also be plausible to 

 set guttatus apart as a separate group intermediate between the 

 eugonatus and colei groups. 



Brunetti (1912) described octomaculatus from two male specimens 

 from Igatpuri, Western Ghats, Bombay Presidency, India, Nov. 

 20, 1909 (Annandale), and stated that the types were in the Indian 

 Museum, but he gave no figures at that time. In 1920 he redescribed 

 the species and named a new species from India which he called 

 angustimarginatus , but in this paper he figured only octomaculatus. 

 Through the courtesy of Dr. B. P. Pal of the Indian Museum, beauti- 

 ful colored drawings of the types of these two species were made 

 available to me. It is now apparent that Brunetti's (1920, vol. 1, p. 

 170, pi. 2, fig. 28) figure of octomaculatus is a composite, in which the 

 thorax represents angustimarginatus and the abdomen and wing 

 represent octomaculatus. How this occurred I do not know, unless the 

 specimen he drew (or rather had drawn for him) was actually parts 

 of two specimens of the two species which had been glued together. 

 At any rate, octomaculatus appears to be conspecific with guttatus. 

 The male specimen cited below from South Africa was compared with 

 males of guttatus from Turkey and Greece and is surely conspecific.
