His view of gibbosa is the same as my first impression, that it possesses black 

 femora and tibiae. 



Morf recently, Meijere ( I'ljd. v. Km. I.\'l. .^,57) considers thai both the species 

 accepted by Kdwards are distinct from the true gibbosa, W ., and his other remarks 

 arc contingent on the view of gibbosa bcinjf a yellow-legfjed species. He notes 

 that Kieffer's albitarsis must be different from gibbosa, as the former has wholly 

 while tarsi ; but though Kieffer actually states this, it is an error, as the paratypes 

 returned by him to the Indian Museum all pos.sess distinctly black lips to .ill the 

 tarsi. 



It is clear, therefore, that two species exist, one with yellow femora and tibiae 

 represented by .Meijere 's Javan and Kdwards' Ceylonese specimen 1 unless the brown 

 blunt thorax in the latter should make it distinct, which I doubt, thinking it only 

 a question of personal use of terms nr perhaps of actual variation) ; and one with 

 black femora and tibiae, that is Kieffer's albitarsis. 



Therefore, if gibbosa has yellow legs the synonymy will be as given in this 

 catalogue, if it has black legs and is identical with Kieffer's albitarsis, the syno- 

 nymy will be as follows : —

Only a reference to the tvpe of gibbosa can decide the exact identity of the 

 species. 



I In Dr. KicfTer's table of genera (Rec. Ind. Mus. IX, iCu 1, Dasyhclia falls 

 in two of his principal divisions; his subgenus Kempia in that of " empodium well 

 developed "; the subgenus Prokempia in that of " empodium atrophied." .Ml the 

 species seem characterised by pubescent eyes.
