Ulmer has shown that Macronema fasciatum, Albarda, is a 

 synonym of M. fastosuni, and fasciatum is thus reduced to a 

 variety. The half dozen specimens at hand all belong to the typical 

 variety. One of the specimens is labelled *'Sikkim" and they all 

 agree in general with the description Ulmer gives of his material 

 from that region , although there is a little variation in the extent 

 and depth of the colour of the fore tibiae. None of the descriptions 

 call attention to the fact that the tips of the hind wings are black. 

 The two veinlets in the costal area of the fore wing and the slender 

 filaments on the posterior margin of the fourth abdominal segment 

 seem also to have escaped notice. Figures are here added because 

 those by Albarda are in a publication not universally accessible and 

 they are not wholly accurate, as Ulmer has indicated.

Macronema punctattim, sp. nov. 



This species is undoubtedly closely related to M. fastosum, 

 from which it differs in the following particulars. The length is 

 ID mm., the wing expanse 31 mm. The largest specimen of M. 

 fastosum I have has an expanse of 26 mm. There is no trace of 

 black on the tips of the wings of this species, and in the middle of 

 the fore wing there is a black spot, not much longer than wide, 

 instead of the band which occurs in M. fastosum. The most 

 decided difference is in the venation. The difference in the course 

 of branches of cubitus and anals near the wing-margin is shown in
