Two species. 



The species of Funim have hitherto been considered geuerically identical with 

 D(i/>/it}usa orfllan's. However, they stand farther apart from ocellaris than this 

 does from Polypti/chus and Marumba in structure as well as in pattern, and no 

 doubt can be entertained about their being generically distinct from JJapknusa. 

 There is even justiiication for erecting a genus for each of the two, as will be seen 

 from the structural diflierences pointed out below. Both species are very interesting 

 on account of the state of development of the retinaculum and the hindtibial spurs. 

 in porphi/ria the proximal pair of spurs of the hindtibui is definitely lost, while in 

 I'olliiiata it is absent from some individuals and present in others, in tlie latter 

 case these spurs being very small and mostly concealed under the scaling. The 

 retinaculum and frenulum are well developed in porpla/ria, while in colUgata 

 the retinaculum is vestigial (c?) and the frenulum shortened. We have here an 

 instance of one species being -more generalised than the other in one character and 

 more specialised in another. There are no older and younger species ; there are 

 older and yonnger characters.

c?. Pilifer short. Eetinaculum occasionally vestigial, frenulum shortened ; 

 IM-dximal pair of hindtibial spurs sometimes present; unsettled in these characters. 

 Abdomen without large underscales ; spines at the edges of the tergites weak. 

 Tenth tergite curved downward, comjiressed at the curvature, apical edge transverse, 

 sharp, angles rounded (PI. XXIV. f. 11), upper surface carinate distally ; sternite 

 represented by a low transverse ridge, which is feebly sinuate mesially and rough 

 with miimte pointed granules. Clasper sole-shaped, rounded apically, hairy on 

 the inner surface ; distal part of harpe (PI. XXXIII. f 12) forming a strongly 

 chitiuised ventral ridge, which is longitudinal, slightly bent dorsad, grannlose, 

 with the ventral surface slightly concave and the dorsal side convex. Apical edge 

 of penis-sheath (PI. XXX. f. 46) bent proximad at the right and left side. End of 

 antenna see PI. XL. f. 8.
