I have not given a name to the above example, as Navas has 

 described quite a number of species of this genus which I have not seen. 

 He mentions at least two which have dots at the rhegma, viz.: 31. tri- 

 grammus var. ohsciira from Ouanda, British Somaliland (Mem. Real 

 Acad, de Ciencias y Ai'tes, vol. xi, No. 13, p. 197, 1914), andilf. dioristus 

 from Obock (Mem. d. Pontificia Accad. Komana, vol. xxxii, Neuropt. 

 Nova Africana, p. 103, 1914).

Cueta syriaca Navas ? 



1 $ , Kirkuk, 2.x. 19 {Belle). Differs from C. Uneosa in tlie more 



' rounded apex of the wings and the markings on the abdomen. Agrees 



fairly Avell with Navas's description, but is referred to his species Avith 



some hesitation, as Petersen considers C. syriaca to be the same as 



C. Uneosa.
