second segment, and from apex of fourth segment to end of abdomen 

 the hair is bright ferruginous ; outer side of anterior tibae and tarsi 

 with some red hair, hair on outer side of middle tibse and tarsi all 

 red ; hind tibge and tarsi with both tegument and hair red ; wings 

 dilute orange, with the outer margin very broadly dusky. Clypeus 

 shining, very sparsely punctured ; malar space about as broad as 

 long ; third antennal joint about 1'5 times as long as fourth, fourth 

 considerably longer than broad. 



Kuling, Kiangsi, China {N. Gist Gee, 52 a). This is very 

 closely related in all respects to B. latissimus Friese, from 

 Formosa, and must be considered the mainland representative 

 of that species. It adds one more to the numerous instances 

 in which Formosan species possess close allies on the mainland. 

 Superficially, B. geei is like the Japanese B. ignitus Sm., but 

 the wings are quite different. 



Bomhus kulingensis, n. sp. 



Female. — Length about 20 mm., anterior wing 17; broad and 

 robust, black, the colour-pattern of hair nearly as in B. pyropygus 

 Friese, but the thoracic dark patch is very large and subquadrate, 

 the hair is not so long, and the wings are very much darker. Head 

 with black hair, pallid on occiput ; clypeus shining, the disc almost 

 impunctate ; malar space a trifle longer than broad, not nearly 

 1-5 times longer; mandibles with two notches on inner half of 

 cutting margin, and a ferruginous patch (tegumentary) near first 

 notch ; third antennal joint longer than fourth, but not 1'5 times 

 longer, fifth about as long as third ; thorax with pale yellow hair, 

 strongly mixed with black on prothorax, and disc above, extending 

 to middle of scutellum, very broadly black; legs with black hair; 

 wings dark reddish-fuscous, not quite as dark as in B. fragrans ; 

 abdomen with yellow hair on first three segments, but black on 

 sides of third ; fourth segment basally with black hair, more or less 

 mixed with red, and beyond this the hair is bright ferruginous. 



Kuling, Kiangsi, China {N. Gist Gee, 54 a). Pielated to 

 B. trifasciatus Sm., but with much longer fourth antennal joint, 

 and black band on abdomen narrow and weak.

By E. a. Elliott, F.E.S. 



In the June number of this Journal, p. 129, I published 

 some remarks on the differences between Westwood's species 

 as described by him, from Australia, and one from New Guinea 

 and Borneo, considered by Enderlein to be identical. Through 

 the courtesy of Prof. Poulton I have been able to examine 

 the handsome and perfect type, now in the Hope Museum at 

 Oxford, and find certain modifications necessary.
