338°.5 do, Kavalai, Cochin State, 24—27-ix-14 (in spirit). 
Length of abdomen 45 mm., of hind-wing 32°5 mm. 
Differs from the typical race from Ceylon as follows :— 
The prothorax is dark brown above. The thorax is brown 
without markings save for a fine black line along the mid-dorsal 
carina. The brown colouring becomes 
paler on the sides and ventrally. 
Segments 8-9 of the abdomen vivid 
turquoise blue above. Segment 10, 
which is very short, is entirely black. 
I have figured the anal appendages 
of the male; they are evidently very 
similar to those figured by Kirby for 
Fic. 1.—Anal appendages of his Platysticta greeni, which he subse- 
one side of Platysticta macu- quently regarded as a synonym of P. 
lata deccanensis §, seen rather jyaculata, Selys (see Kirby, Proc. Zool. 
cbliqhelyeiaa ae Soc. Lond., 1891, p. 203, pl. xx, figs. 3, 
3a and J. Linn. Soc. XXIV, p. 561, 1893). 
Species marked thus * are represented in the museum collection.
