Family PIPUNCULTD^. 



Genus PIPUNCULUS, Lair, {ante, p. 4). 



The following four species, described in 1903 from Ceylon by 

 Dr. K. Kertesz, were unfortunately overlooked. I have had no 

 o]iportunity of examining the types or other exaujples, and the 

 descriptions are therefore translated from the original. Judging 

 by the key at the beginning of Kertesz's paper *, it seems that 

 P. becJceri has the stigma on the costa of the wing coloured 

 (" Fliigelrandmal gefarbt "), and should therefore fall under 

 section 1 of the table on p. 5 of the present volume ("stigma 



present ") ; while the other three species {cEueiventris, 



shv/alcnsis and angustijunnis) have the stigma " uncoloured '^ 

 (" Miigelrandmal ungefarbt "), which may mean that tiiey should 

 be placed under section 17 of the table (" stigma entirely absent").
