of the second and third apical areas, and the apices of the longitudinal veins to apical areas, 

 infuscated. 



The rostrum about reaches the apices of the posterior coxfe ; the opercula are concavely sinuated 

 a little before centre, their apices convexly rounded and almost reaching apex of fourth abdominal 

 segment.

Hab. — Malayan Archipelago : Philippine Isles (Brit. Mus.). 



This species was erroneously identified by Walker as Dunduhia spinosa, Fabr. (the type of 

 which, however, is contained in the Banksian collection), and remains under that name in the 

 Museum Catalogue. The habitat is derived from one of those specimens, my own being 

 without a locahty.

? . Head and thorax above dark ochraceous ; head with the area of the ocelli and a spot on each 

 Bide of vertex near front dark fuscous ; eyes dark castaneous ; pronotum with two short longitudinal 

 central linear fascife (not quite reaching centre of disk) and the edges of posterior margin, black; 

 mesonotum with a narrow central linear longitudinal fascia, on each side of which are two short but 

 broader curved fasciae, the inner pair longest, and a transverse series of four small basal spots, black ; 

 abdomen castaneous. Head beneath, sternum, legs and rostrum ochraceous ; apices of the tibite and tarsi 

 and apex of the rostrum black ; abdomen beneath as above. 



Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation ochraceous ; tegmina with the transverse veins at the 

 bases of the second, third, fifth and seventh apical areas more or less infuscated, and a marginal series of 

 small fuscous spots at the apices of the longitudinal veins to apical areas, the discal portion of the venation 

 ornamented in a few places with black ; costal membrane reddish-ochraceous. 



Long. excl. tegm. 2 , 50 millim. Exp. tegm. 150 millim. 



Hab. — Malayan Archipelago : Sumatra (Guerin) ; Java (Bruss. Mus.). 



The description here given is taken from an unlocalised female specimen in my own 

 collection, but a male specimen belonging to the collection of the Brussels Museum is figured, 

 and the structure of the opercula is thus shown. Stal, by an error (unusual with that 

 excellent worker and describer), wrote* that the Dunduhia satiirata, Walk. — an Indian species of 

 Cosmopsaltria described further on — p. 54 — was a sjTionym of C. flavida. This lead that careful 

 writer, Mr. Atkinson, to record it as reported from Sikkim. t Guerin's species, however, 

 appears to be strictly confined to the islands of Sumatra and Java, and is certainly not found 

 in Continental India.
