A maie and a female well preserved on card from Ceylon 

 (G. Lewis) are before me, thèse hâve the body and legs, except 

 the tarsi, yellow, the fourth segment infuscate or pitchy on the 

 apical half, more intensely so in the maie, the fifth and sixth (in 

 the maie) the fifth only in the female, waxy white, the sixth in 

 the female eut out in the regular way, and are in my opinion 

 perfectly identical with L. gorhami. Four examples (maie) sent 

 me by Fea, from Tenasserim, Malewoon, as L. terminalis Olivier, 

 appear to me to be also identical with this insect, differing only 

 in the slightly more infuscate sides of the ventral segments. 



It appears then to me that L. cingulata E. Oliv. = L. sîob- 

 stfiata Gorh. 



And that L. terminalis E. Oliv. = L. gorhami Rits. = L. 

 a finis Gorh. sec Rits.

This fine species is readily recognised by its wholly yellow 

 colour, and duU ochre tint above, the head is yellow, the paipi 

 and anîennae smoky, the basai joint of the antennse is partly yel- 

 low. The prothorax has the front angles so rounded off as to be 

 scarcely perceptible, the channel of the disk is only impressed in 

 the middle, on each side of which is a faint tubercle, in front and 

 behind there is a faint carina. 



The elytra are very long in proportion to the thorax, four raised 

 nervures are visible, the third and fourth however are indistinct, 

 the intervais are thickly and evenly covered with distinct punc- 

 tures, the nervures disappear before the apex, and the punctures 

 there become quite confused. 



The wings are fuscous, the femora are only a little infuscate, the 

 tibia3 and tarsi are wholly smoky-black. The body beneath with 

 the exception of the abdomen is yellow, of the latter the two first 

 segments are blackened at the sides, the two following are wholly
