HELOTA. 97 



NOTE II. 



TWO NEW SPECIES OE THE GENUS HELOTA 

 FROM BURMA ') 



DESCRIBED BY 



C. RITSEMA Cz. 



Among the Helotidae of Mr. A. Fry's collection, kindly 

 sent to me for identification , there were two new species, 

 both from Burma , one of which is very interesting on 

 account of its being allied to the almost unknown Helota 

 thihetana Westw. {Mellii Westw.) from Simlah, the type- 

 specimen of which, a female from the old collection of 

 Melly, belongs to the Natural History Museum at Geneva 

 and was lent to me for comparison by the able Conser- 

 vator of the named Museum , Mr. E. Frey-Gessner. As 

 Westwood's descriptions of this species are very short (see 

 Notes Leyd. Mus. Vol. XI, 1889, p. 110), I made use 

 of this opportunity to describe the species at length ; this 

 description will be found at the end of the present Note. 

 The species of Helota contained in Mr. Fry's collection 

 are the following: 



Helota Vigorsii McLeay. 1 9 1 Java. 



» • longipes Rits. 2 (-f , Assam : Manipur (Doherty). 



» Oberthüri Rits. 1 9 , Assam : Patkai Mts (Doherty). 



» gemmata Gorh. 3 Q, Japan; 1 (ƒ and 1 9> 

 China bor. (Fortune).
