(Annandale) ; Ciileutta, 23. x. 1907 ; Pari, Orissa coast, 24. ii. 1908 

 (Paiva) ; Monger, Bengal, 23. ix. 1909 (Jenlins). 



These specimens originally recorded as males were really 

 females. 



317. Drapetis fascifemorata, Brun. 



Drapetis fascifenidntta, Bruuetti, Rec. Ind. Miis. ix, p. 38 (1913). 



5 . Very near D. brevior, but the 3rd antennal joint is onion- 

 shaped and much shorter than in that species. The legs are 

 wholly reddish yellow, with a black streak ou the upper side of 

 the femora. 



Length, 2 mm. 



Described from a single 5 in the Indian Museum from 

 Ivurseong, 4. vi. 1908 (Aanandale). 



This might have been considered provisionally the $ of 

 D. brevior as the likeness between the two species is so great, and 

 the difference in colour of tlie legs might easily be a sexual one 

 only ; but the different structure of the anteuna3 points to its 

 being specifically distinct. 



318. Drapetis rotundicornis, Brun. (PI. lY, fig. 25.) 

 Drapetis rotundicornis, Brunetti, Rec. Ind. Mus. ix, p. 3S (1913). 



S . Very near D. brevior, from which it differs in the 3rd 

 antennal joint being nearly round, drawn out to a slight point at 

 the tip, from which the long arista projects. The anterior legs 

 are all reddish yellow, the hind feuiora have the middle part 

 blackish on the upper side. 



Length, 2^ mm. 



Described from a single c? in the Indian Museum from Pari, 

 Orissa coast, 18-19. i. 1908 [Annandale). 



In this species again I should have regarded it as a mere 

 variation of brevior but for the different structure of the antennae. 



319. Drapetis rufipes, Bnm. 



Drapetis rufipes, Brunetti, Rec. Ind. Mus. ix, p. 38 (1913). 



$ . Very near D. brevior. The 3rd antennal joint is obconical, 

 black in colour, with an apical arista. Legs entirely reddish 

 yellow ; tips of tarsi brown. 



Length, 2 mm. 



Described from a $ in the Indian Museum taken by Dr. Annan- 

 dale "at light" ou board a steamer at Damukdia Grhat, Eastern 

 Bengal, 30. vi, 1908 ; Madhupur, Bengal, 22. x. 1909 (Paiva). 



My type specimen is a $ , not a c? , as originally stated.
