The Separation of this genus from Larrntia (scns. str.). iikc that ot Xtuilhorhoi tVom OrtholUhu., was 

 groimded on the requirements of the Palaearctie Larentiines and has been t'ound imworkable. in the present 

 State of our knowledge. for the other regions (compare Vol. Ki, p. S8). In the interest of conformity. F am 

 retaining it here foi- a few Indian and Chinese species wiiich are believed to iiave elose affinity with the Palaearctie.

 delinitely Palaearctie Colostygia (see Suppl.-Vol. 4, p. 12!l) belongs properly to North Fiidia. extending from 

 Kashmir to Upper Burma. Easily known by the very iri-egular shajie of the median band. Aiitennal peetinations 

 rather long. Type locality: Masuri.

 tsien-lu and is very abundant in \V. China. It is not demonstrated that the form phaiosata, from Koko-Nor. 

 tigui'ed in Vol. 4 (pl. S 1), differs geogra])hically. but in case that should be so, we here figui-e a topotypical 

 pendearia. Not a striking species. but easily known by its coloi'ation and its parallel-sided nu-dian band. 



C. exceptata Stemeck (see Suppl.-Vol. 4. p. 135) is unknown to me and I only repeat that its expansc lu-ccpfaia.

Ereeted for the romewhat isolated siria Meyr., this was afterwards merged in Scotosia (!), i. e. Philerpme 

 Hbn.. later in the comprehensive "Hydrionuma" . It differs from the following in its small eye. relatively small

This, at least as constituted at present. is piobably not a strictly natural genus; but it is convenient 

 as affording a provisional ])osition for a number of species whieh resemble Larcntia or Colo.stygia in nearly
