Assam. Bigot Collection. Head and middle legs (except 

 femora) missing from the type when described. In spite of this, 

 I feel sure that 4 b 'b in the Indian Museum from Tenasserim 

 are of this species. 



The three species above must be closely allied, but from the 

 descriptions appear to be truly distinct.

The commonest of all Stratiomyidce throughout the Orient and 

 a widely distributed species. Walker reports it from Borneo, India, 

 Java and the Aru Islands ; the Indian Museum possesses specimens 

 from Katmandu (Nepal), Calcutta, Siliguri, Dehra Dun and Naini 

 Tal, the dates varying from June to August. It has, outside of 

 India, a much wider range of appearance, as it has fallen to my 

 net at Rangoon (January), Singapore (17th February 1906), Shan- 

 ghai and Calcutta (both in May), Mussoorie (June), Meerut (July), 

 and lyucknow (August and September).
