Stoll, Cig. fig. 36. 



Head, prouotum, and mesonotum greenish-ocbraceous. Head with the anterior margins of front, an 

 irregular central fascia to vertex enclosing the ocelli, a large spot on inner side of eyes, and the anterior 

 lateral angle of vertex, dark olivaceous. Pronotum with a broad central longitudinal fascia, two large 

 oblique spots on each lateral area, and a spot on the lateral margin, brownish-olivaceous. Mesonotum 

 with seven brownish-olivaceous spots ; situate two central and obconical, between which is an arrow-shaped 

 discal spot, a small spot on each side of the two central ones, and a long spot on each lateral area, two 

 small spots of the same colour in front of each anterior angle of the basal cruciform elevation. Abdomen 

 pale castaneous with ochraceous pilosity. Head beneath, sternum, legs and opercula pale greenish ; upper 

 and apical areas of face, a spot between face and eyes, posterior margins of eyes, anterior tibise, apices of 

 intermediate tibije, a spot near apices of femora, apices of anterior and intermediate tarsi, apex of 

 rostrum, and a triangular spot between the intermediate and posterior coxse, dark fuscous. Abdomen 

 beneath dark ochraceous. 



Tegmina and wings pale hyaline ; tegmma with the costal membrane greenish, transverse veins at the 

 bases of the second, third, fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth apical areas infuscated, and a marginal series 

 of small fuscous spots situate at the apices of the longitudinal veins to apical areas; the venation is 

 otherwise ochraceous, sometimes replaced by black ; basal cell and claval margin brownish-ochraceous. 

 Wings with the venation brownish-ochraceous ; claval margin darker in hue. 



Long. excl. tegm. <? , 35 to 50 millim. Exp. tegm. 87 to 125 millim. 



Hab.— Continental India : Assam, Margherita (Doherty — coll. Dist.) ; Sylhet (Sowerby & Stainforth — 

 Erit. Mus.) ; Cachar (Judge — coll. Dist.) ; Naga Hills and Seebsagar (Calc. Mus.) ; Neelgiri Hills, North 

 Slopes (Hampson — coll. Dist.). Malay Peninsula : Perak (Calc. Mus.). Java (coll. Sign.). Philippine 

 Isles (Semper — Stockh. Mus.). Japan (Pryer — coll. Dist.). 



This is another variable species, both in size and markings, the tegmina in some 

 specimens being much less strongly spotted than in others. 



3. Pomponia graecina. (Tab. X., fig. 8, a, h.) 



Pomponia (jra:cina. Distant, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, vol. ii. p. 421 (1889). 



5 . Allied to P. fusca, Oliv., but differing by having the two central fascise of the pronotum much 

 more diverted anteriorly, the two central obconical spots on the mesonotum much more contiguous, and 

 all the tegminal macular markings on the transverse veins at bases of apical areas and at the apices 

 of the longitudinal veins of the apical areas larger and more infuscated. The female rudimentary 

 opercula, as compared with those of the same sex of P. fusca, are convex and rounded externally and 

 not moderately angulated. 



Long. excl. tegm. ? , 31 millim. Exp. tegm. 110 millim. 



Hab. — Malayan Archipelago: Borneo, Kina Balu Mt. (Whitehead — coll. Dist.).
