Megistocera atra of Doleschall is considered synonymous with this 

 species. Meijere notes this and the previous species (Tijd. v. Ent., 

 Hv, 55). :,. 



nepalensis, Westw. {Caloptera). Nepal, 

 ? velutina, Wlk. 



This species is tolerably well distributed along the Himalayas 

 in Nepal and in Assam, and is present in all the collections I have 

 examined. 



It seems to me that velutina, Wlk., is a synonym of it and that 

 that author by error speaks of a large brown spot across the wing 

 instead of a whitish one. Apart from this discrepancy the des- 

 cription applies perfectly J and being such a conspicuously marked 

 species the synonymy is at least probable. (See E. velutina.) 



bicolor, Mcq. {Limnophila). Bengal, Sumatra, Java. Mei- 

 jere reports a cf from Java. 



hilpa, Wlk., $ {Pterocosmus). Hongkong. The t\^pe (a 9 ) 

 is still in good condition in the British Museum. The species is 

 not deleted from this hst but Hongkong can hardly be considered 

 in the Oriental Region. 



velutinat Wlk., d 9 {Pterocosmus). ?=nepalensis, Westw. 

 Assam, Nepal, Himalayas, .. .. South China. The 



type <f and 2 in the British Museum are still sufnciently well pre- 

 served for comparison. Numerous other specimens are present in 

 this collection, but I am almost certain that this species is syno- 

 n^mious with Westwood's Jiepalensis. 



sumatrensis, Mcq., & {Limnohia). Sumatra. 



albonotata, lyoew, a' 2 [Limnohia). Ceylon, also extends to 

 Mozambique. Two $ 2 in the Vienna Museum from Ceylon are 

 probably this species. Mr. Edwards records it from several places 

 in Ceylon, where it is seemingly common. It is also likely to be a 

 variable species. 



Icucoteles, Wlk., o^ {Limnohia). Singapore. Type (c^) in 

 British Museum, legless, but otherwise in good condition. 



plecioides, Wlk., cf {Limnohia). Singapore. Type in fair 

 condition except that only one leg remains. In British Museum. 



dichroa, Wlk., 2 {Limnohia). Mount Ophir, Malacca. T5^pe 

 ( 2 ) in British Museum in bad condition. A second 2 is in better 

 condition, but legless, yet, as the species is conspicuously marked 

 it would be useful for comparison. 



rubrescens, Wlk., & {Limnohia). Borneo (Sarawak). The 

 type cf in the British Museum is in fair condition. 



pyrrhochroma, Wlk., cf {Limnohia). Borneo. Type is too bad 

 for comoarison. British Museum. 



lunigera, Wlk., o^ (Pterocosmus). Sarawak, Borneo. Type 

 in British Museum in bad condition, except that the wing-mark- 

 ings are distinguishable. 



infixa, Wlk., d" 2 {Pterocosmus). Sarawak. Type & and 

 2 still in fairly good condition in the British Museum. Two 

 more recent 2 2 (from Sarawak also) have been added.
