bombayensis, Macq., cf 9 . Bombay, Bengal, East Indies. 

 Type in Bigot's collection. A good series of what can hardly 

 fail to be this species is in the Pusa collection, from Pusa, where 

 it occurs all the year round except (apparently) May, June and 

 December. Meijere thinks this may be synonymous with the 

 preceding species, and records it from Java. Three specimens are 

 in the Indian Museum. The principal characters of the species 

 appear to be the ferruginous colour, the fading away of the 

 thoracic stripes in front, and the black triangular spot on each 

 abdominal segment which often combine and form an interrupted 

 or uninterrupted dorsal stripe. 



N .B. — An undescribed species in the Indian Museum is very 

 near, but I think quite distinct from, Macquart's species. 



delta, Wlk., 9 . East Indies, according to my information, 

 not East India as quoted by Van der Wulp. Type in British 

 Museum with a second 9 . 



tripartita, Wlk., cf . 



tenuis, Wlk., c^ . 



colorata, Wlk., 9 . 



Of these three species the types appear to be lost, Mr. Water- 

 house informing me that the}^ were evidently never in the British 

 Museum. Of color ata ^Meijere records a 9 from Dutch South 

 Papua which agrees pretty well with Walker's description, to which 

 he adds further notes.

Of this species Van der Wulp gives two synonyms, P. 

 javensis, Dol., of which the type is in the Vienna Museum, a 

 (f , in somewhat damaged condition , a certain amount of identi- 

 fication being possible ; and fasciaia, Macq. I have no means 

 of testing these synonyms, the bare descriptions not being 

 sufficient, but think that Osten Sacken must have accepted them, 

 as such, as he seems to have inspected all the described species of 

 his time. The type of doleschalli is a 9 from Buitenzorg, Java, 

 in the Genoa Museum, where is also a specimen from Ajer, 

 Mankior (Sumatra). Herr Meijere sinks his own jallax (Bijd. tot. 

 de Dierk, xvii, 90) as a S3aionym of doleschalli, in his latest paper.^ 

 Three 9 9 in the Indian Museum from Naini Tal are almost cer- 

 tainly this species. A description of this form is added further on . 



familiaris, Os. Sac, ^ 9 . Sumatra. Types in Genoa 

 Museum (four specimens) from Mt. Singalang. Meijere in recording 

 a 9 from Java adds some notes to the description of the species. 



melanura, Os. Sac, 9 . Papua. Type in Genoa Museum. 



laconica, Os. Sac, 9 . 



ortiva, Os. Sac, 9 . These two species, described from the 

 Philippines, were in Osten Sacken 's collection. Present location 

 unknown to me.
