I have followed Tos(]\iinet in the diagnosis of this species, which 

 I consider, in its original form, to have been a medley of several, 

 since Brullc says (?oc. cit.') : " J'ai rcnni sous ce meme nom d'Ophloa 

 rufns plusieurs individus de localites assez differentes, comme Ton 

 voit, et qui ne se distinguent que pas des caractures que je ii'ai 

 pas trouvcs suffisants pour constituer des especes bien dehnies," 

 though the ueuration was by no means identical. He makes no 

 mention of the basally sinuate radial nervure, which renders the 

 present species closely allied to If. Jlavicapitf, as well as to the 

 genus AUpcmnptus. 



Paniscus perforator, Smith (Ann. Nat. Hist, xvii, 187G, p. 449, 5 ) 

 from Kodriguez, has been entirely erroneously synonymised with 

 this species by Dalla Torre ; its genus is correctly assigned by 

 Fred. Smith and I have examined the type in the British Museum 

 collection. 



There is in the British Museum a very large Ceylonese female 

 of 30 millim. with the radial cell basally infumate, the radius basally 

 less sinuate and the external cubital mark lunate ; but probably it 

 constitutes a distinct species. This species has been bred by 

 Dr. Watt, on l]th September 1897, from Dasijcliira mendosa, 

 Hiibn. (cf. Eeport No. XIV : Tea Pest).
