His view of gibbosa is the same as my first impression, that it possesses black 
femora and tibiae. : 
More recently, Meijere ( Tijd. v. Ent. LVI, 337) considers that both the species 
accepted by Edwards are distinct from the true gzbbosa, W., and his other remarks 
are contingent on the view of gibbosa being a yellow-legged species. He notes 
that Kieffer’s albitarsts must be different from gibbosa, as the former has wholly 
white tarsi; but though Kieffer actually states this, it is an error, as the paratypes 
returned by him to the Indian Museum all possess distinctly black tips to all the 
tars. 
It is clear, therefore, that two species exist, one with yellow femora and tibiae 
represented by Meijere’s Javan and Edwards’ Ceylonese specimen (unless the brow 
blunt thorax in the latter should make it distinct, which I doubt, thinking it only 
a question of personal use of terms or perhaps of actual variation); and one with 
black femora and tibiae, that is Kieffer’s albitarsis. 
Therefore, if gjdosa has yellow legs the synonymy will be as given in this 
catalogue, if it has black legs and is identical with Kieffer’s a/ditarsis, the syno- 
nymy will be as follows :— 
1. gibbusa, W. (Macropeza). 
Calyptopogon albitarsis, Keitf., Mem. Ind. Mus. II: Brun., Rec. 
Ind. Mus. VIII, 150. 
Macropeza gibbosa, Edwards, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8), XII, 202. 
2. species sine nom. (with yellow femora and tibiae). 
Macropeza gibbosa, de Meij., Tijd. v. Ent. L, 216. 
Macropeza javanensis, Edwards, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8), XII, 
202. 
Only a reference to the type of gibbosa can decide the exact identity of the 
species. 
! In Dr. Kieffer's table of genera (Rec. Ind. Mus. IX, 161), Dasyhelia falls 
in two of his principal divisions; his subgenus Kempfza in that of ‘‘empodium well 
developed ’’; the subgenus Prokempia in that of ‘‘empodium atrophied.’’ All the 
species seem characterised by pubescent eyes.
