* Kii-kaldy (J. Bomb. N. H. Soc. xiv, p. oOO, 1902) has described a species 

 from " India" under the name of EctrieJiodia horrenda. The types are stated

 nothing of it, and its describer has taken his tyjDes with him to the Sandwich 

 Islands. It seems to be near this or the preceding species, and I have not 

 ventured to include it.
