The last five are, like most of Walker's species, of doubtful 

 anthenticity, and unknown to me. 



The species described from Burma by E. Olivier and L. suhstriata 

 Gorh., referred to Rangoon, but of which I hâve I believe seen 

 spécimens from Bombay, may ail very probably occur in the 

 continent. 



The Luciolœ obtained by M. F.-E. Andrewes in the Nilgiri and 

 Anamalais Hills are :

 p. 4; L. affînis Gorh. nec Rits. Trans. Ent. Soc, 1883, p. 410; 

 E. Oliv,, Gat. Luciolœ, etc., p. 11. Nilgiri Hills; 1 ex. 



Referred by M. Olivier to Japan, but I did not so refer it origi- 

 nally, but to India, I hâve numerous examples from Madras, Bengal, 

 Calcutta, Belgaum, Kanara, Madura. It appears to me to be the same 

 as L. terminalis E. Oliv. from Malewoon and Saïgon. 



It is separated from L. vespertina for the reasons given loc. cit. 



2. Luciola anceyi E. Oliv. Rev. d'Ent., 1883, p. 330. 



Three female examples from the Anamalais Hills do not differ 

 from an example of this species sent me by M. Fea, from Tenas- 

 serim, and which also does not seem to me distinct from L. œgrota 

 E. Oliv., sent from Burma Garin Ghecu by Fea. 



As L. anceyi E. Oliv. is referred to Ghina, there is some doubt, 

 as to the identification. 



Luciola nigripes n. sp. — L. complanatœ affînis, at major, 

 capite prolhorace elytris ochraceis, antennis, pedibus et corpore 

 infra nigris, coxis anterioribus flavis; prothorace preesertim maris 

 bituberculato. — Long. 7,8 mill. cfÇ. 



Mas. Gapite majore, thoracis disco distinctius bituberculato, seg- 

 mentis duobus ultimis albis-eburatis. 



Femina. Gapite minore, thorace minus distincte bituberculato. 



Hah. India, Nilgiri Hills, 6000 feet (H.-L. Andrewes). 



Head yellow, dark in one example, perhaps only due to discolo- 

 ration, antennse and palpi black the former rather short; thorax 

 short, rather rugosely punclured and indistinctly channelled, hind 

 angles not prodiiced, nearly square; scutellum and mesosternum 

 yellow. Elytra with sides parallel the disk flattened as in L. corn-
