t) One example. Hong Kong, allied to the European flavipes. 

 Schiner says the eyes quite touch, which may require it a generic 

 separation^ as in Sargus the eyes are approximate, not contiguous.

9 Makessar (Celebes). He mentions a variety with green 

 thorax and purple vertex, and thinks it may be a local variety of 

 metallinus F., but as he mentions dark markings on its hind legs, 

 it could hardly be metallinus. I took one % at Rangoon between 

 23rd December 1904 and 3rd January 1905, also a 9 at Singapore, 

 17th February 1906, both certainly this species ; but the posterior 

 tibiae have a black streak at the base and not at the tip.

 would have considered it the male of that species but for the 

 pattern and coloration of the abdomen.

'b Makessar (Celebes), Amboina, Borneo, Ceylon. Osten 

 Sacken saw three from Kandari (Celebes) taken April 1874, and 

 one from Ternate, and pertinently adds : " There may be several 

 conflicting species here, or else they vary in the extent of black 

 on the legs, and in the colour of the stigma." 



I think it probable that several of the species in this group 

 may prove varieties, but described as most of them are, from single 

 specimens, and these types not being available for examination 

 in India, I cannot further our knowledge of the group.
