5. Marliiiigs of 2ud and .'Jrd segments each con- 

 sisting of a pair of large triangular anterior 

 marlis and a ]>air of smaller triangular marks 

 beyond middle ; 4th segment with four sub- 

 equal spots, the two on each side more or less [p. 260. 



connected along the lateral margin macnlaris, Wied., 



Markings of 2nd segment consisting' of a very 

 large pair of oblong-yellow spots nearly meet- 

 ing in median line, and a broad yellow band 

 near hind margin, so that the segment is 

 nearly all yellow ; ord and 4th segments 

 rather similar, but front spots much nar- 

 rower, transversely placed on I'ront margin; 



the hind pale band very broad, produced for- [p. 268.

 Hind femora black nearly to tip decora, sji.n.,]i.274. 



M. semifulva, de Meijere, is not included in the table, as I 

 think that gigns, Macq., is a very variable species; it varies in 

 botli body and legs from orange-brown to black, and in this case 

 it would absorb the form semifulva. 



200. Milesia sexmaculata, Brun.

* If. as I 8us]iect. do Meijere's s/aiii/'u/va is synonymous with ffigof. Miicq., 

 then the pale band must be defined ns reacliing to nearly onc-tliirtl the lengtli 

 -of tlic segment from the front margin.
