Hahitat. 1 (Macgillivray — voyage H.M.S. Herald — 



Brit. Mns.). 



No precise habitats are to be found connected with the 

 insects collected during this voyage. The specie.^ I have 

 here described is allied to C. mandarina, J) ist., from China, 

 and it is most probably a Chinese species. The Herald 

 made some stay at Hong-kong.
