Brown ; thorax with white stripes ; abdomen with side spots 

 and segmentations ferruginous ; under side pale red (or chamois 

 leather coloured). Six lines 5 . From Amboina. 



Antennae and palpi rust^^ yellow. Face chamois leather col- 

 oured. Beard whitish. Thorax with yellow pubescence ; breast 

 sides mouldy grey coloured. The side spots of abdomen are situa- 

 ted on the first three segments ; on the others the side borders are 

 also rusty brown ; segmentations with yellow little hairs. Wings 

 brownish grey. In Fabricius's coll. Wied., Auss. zweifl. Ins., i, 

 p. 92. 



This species may possibly be the same as Conzoneura rufa or 

 Corizoneura longirostris, subsp. varipes, but as no mention is made 

 of the length of the proboscis nor of the first posterior cell of wing 

 it is impossible to decide without seeing the type or specimens 

 from further east ; I have seen no specimens of the genus beyond 

 Malaysia.
