distant from the eyes than from each other: thorax gradually a little 
narrowed from the apex backwards beyond the middle (Stal). o, ?, 
long, 21—24; exp. tee. 60—73 millims. 
Reported from Mauritius, Bengal. 
In J. A. 8. B. LIV (11) p. 23 Cosmopsaltria abdulla, Distant, is 
recorded as a synonym of C. spinosa, Fabr. (1. c. LIII (11), p. 227): the 
following is Distant’s description of C. abdulla. 
$. Body above castaneous, more or less covered with greyish 
pubescence and pilosity: head with the vertex somewhat sparingly 
pilose and the area of the ocelli, a little infuscate: pronotum sparingly 
pubescent with a central x-shaped space denoted by striae, followed by 
two oblique striew, the outer one submarginal and slightly curved, lateral 
and posterior margins densely pubescent: mesonotum with two faintly 
indicated obovate spots on the anterior margin, sparingly pubescent, the 
lateral margins and the region of the cruciform basal elevation much 
more densely pubescent. Abdomen sparingly pubescent but much more 
densely so on the disc and the lateral margins: body beneath ochra- 
ceous : first and intermediate femora with the bases and apices fuscous, 
the central portion pale ochraceous: first tibix castaneous and tarsi 
piceous ; intermediate tibie pale castaneous, with the base narrowly 
and the apex broadly piceous: last pair of legs pale castaneous, apices of 
femora, bases and apices of tibie, dark castaneous. Tegmina and wings 
pale hyaline; the former with the costal membrane and basal area. 
castaneous, claval area, piceous, transverse veins at bases of 2, 3, 5 apical 
areas infuscate and a submarginal series of small fuscous spots at apices 
of longitudinal veins: wings with anterior claval margin and a curved 
basal streak dark castaneous. The face is very swollen and convex 
beneath, longitudinally furrowed and transversely striated: the rostrum 
extends just beyond the base of the femora: the opercula reach the base 
of the fourth abdominal segment; the outer margins are deeply nar- 
rowed and concave near the base and then become slightly convex to the 
apex which is broad and rounded, these opercula are very wide apart at 
the base and are confined to the lateral side of the under surface of the 
abdomen (Dist.).
