Tipula cinerea, Brun. and T. elegans, Brun. 



Mr. Alexander "v\Tites me that these names shoukl be altered on ac- 

 count of Tiqnda cmerea, Fab. which^ TricJiocera macidi/pennis , Mg. and 

 Tiqnda elegans, Fab. which is a PachyrJiina, but this seems carrying the 

 principle of renaming a httle too far. 



Pachyrhina javensis, Dol. 



A $ from Coonoor, Nilgiri Hills, vi-12 {Capt. Sewell) in the Indian 

 Museum differs from the three $ $ referred by me to this species by 

 having a black spot on the sternopleura as in plevrinotafa. The fore 

 femora are nearly black except for the pale basal fourth and a slightly 

 lighter space before the tip, sufficient to give the impression of a broad 

 black median ring. The posterior femora are brownish-yellow with a 

 moderately broad distinct apical ring. The 2nd posterior cell is not 

 petiolate. The scutellum is wholly shining black. Two further $ 9 

 from the same locality (1 and 4-ix-ll, Howleit) shew other minor differ- 

 ences, so the species is evidently a variable one. Three ^ ^ also from 

 Coonoor (4 and 5-ix-ll, Howleit) may possibly belong here ; they are 

 rather smaller than the $ and I have not seen any ^ that could definitely 

 be referred to javensis. Edwards records this species with notes {Ann. 

 Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) XVIII, 266) from Kotosho Island, near Formosa, 

 20-vii-12 (SUraki). 



Two $ ? from Tura, C4aro Hills, Assam, 1,400 ft., ix-17 {Mrs. Kemp) 

 have the thoracic dorsum almost entirely shining black, and the front 

 femora shew no trace of black, yet they are probably this species. 



Pachyrhina bombayensis, Macq. 



This species is common at Pusa, Bihar, in July, August and Sep- 

 tember. 



Pachyrhina serricornis, Brun. 



A small series from Pusa, February, September and December. 

 One specimen from Shillong, 19-x-ll. 



Pachyrhina pleurinotata, Brun. 



A second ^ and $ in the Indian Museum also from Namoya, Ceylon, 

 the $ having an abnormal, broad, blackish band in the middle of the 

 fore femora.
