372 Records of the Indian Musenju. [Vol. Ill, 1909.] 



pubipes, mihi^ sp. nov,, & ; pi. xiii, 16: 17, t8 (fore, middle, 

 hind legs, cf ). 

 Loc. — Nepal. 

 fasciculata, mihi, sp. nov., cf . 

 Loc. — Ceylon, Calcutta. 

 viduata, Thorns., 1868. Eugene Resa, 587. 



Loc. — China, Assam, Eastern Himala3^as, Bengal, Calcutta, 

 South India, Rangoon, Batavia, Manila, 



N.B. — In addition to the above, all of which appear to be 

 distinct species, the following have been described, the descrip- 

 tions being too brief or too weak for identification. 



S. nitens, Wied., 1824. Analec. Ent., 57, and (1830) Auss 

 Zweifl., ii, 467. 

 Loc. — China. 



N.B. — This is, according to Handlirsch (who kindly compared 

 a specimen with the type), quite distinct from both t^^pical 

 hicoior, Wied. {javanica, Meij.), and the red variety of hicolor , 

 with which I had thought it might have been identical. 



S. lateralis, Wied., 1830. Auss. Zweifl., ii, 468. 

 Loc. — China. 



N.B. — A specimen in indifferent condition in the Indian Museum 

 collection, incorrectly- determined by Bigot as this species, 

 is my hrevicosta. An example of my brevicosia, sent to the 

 Vienna Museum, and kindly compared by Herr Handlirsch 

 with Wiedemann's type, w^as returned as certainly distinct 

 from that author's species. 



S. complicata, Wied., 1830, Auss. Zweifl., ii, 468. 



Loc. — China. 

 S. testacea, Wlk., i860. Pr. Linn. So. Lond., iv, 163, cf 5 . 



Loc— Macassar. 

 S. frontalis, Wlk,, i860. Loc. cit., iv, 163, <f $ . 



I/OC. — Macassar. 



N.B — In this species Walker describes the cf as black, and the 



9 as with a ^^ellow thorax and black abdomen. This is 



the only instance to my knowledge in which the sexes differ 



in colour, with the exception of my new species dissimilis, in 



which, however, the colours are reversed. 



S, revocans, Wlk., i860. Loc. cit., iv, 163, 9 . 

 Loc. — Macassar, Philippines. 



N.B. — As in none of these six descriptions is an}^ mention 

 made of a wing spot, the presumption is that they will all 

 fall in the " wing clear " division of the genus.
