Of the size and form of Clanis pubescens, rather shining; 
paler specimens appear more thickly pubescent than the pale 
coloured examples, as probably the pubescence is easily rubbed off. 
The discoidal spot is sometimes nearly evanescent. The punctuation 
is close, and fine but distinct. 
SCYMNUS FLEXIBILIS Muls, — According to two very immature 
and otherwise unsatisfactory representatives in Crotch's collection 
is a Clanis, and propably Mr. Crotch’s examples are not 
Mulsant’s species, but may be this insect. It is not very near to 
Scymnus, in any way. À considerable number were obtained by 
beating; Feb. to May. 
Clanis? uninotata n. sp. 
Ovata, ferruginea, densius pubescens, elytra puncto communi, 
subscutlellari, subquadrato nigro. — Long. 1-5 millim. 
Tab. INpra, Belgaum. 
This little species has very much the appearance of a Scymnus, 
the thorax is narrower than the elytra, at the base, and narrows 
gradually in front ; the head is rather deeply sunk in the thorax, 
smooth in front between the eyes, and suggestive of Ortalia, the 
eyes very finely facetted. The whole surface is clothed with a 
fine, depressed, dense pubescence. 
Three specimens from Belgaum by beating round ricefelds in 
February. 
Ortalia quadripunctata n. sp. 
Pallide ferruginea, elytris subquadrato-orbicularibus, sinqulis 
maculis duabus, una juxla callum humeralem, minore; allera 
pone medium, ad suluram magis approximata, nigris. — Long. 
4 millim. 
Hab. InprA, Belgaum (Andrewes). 
This insect is of a pale, rather vivid, rusty-red colour, thickly 
clothed with a red pubescence which is very short. 
It will be easily recognised by the four black spots on the elytra, 
of which the basal ones are placed just beneath and partly on the 
callus, while the posterior pair are larger and more approximated to 
each other, and a little behind the middle, These spots are roundish 
but a little transverse. 
Three examples were obtained, by beating bushes round the 
ricefields.
