a dark band over swollen part, tip of hind tibize dark. Antenne yellow; thorax 
grayish brown above, with traces of median stripes, the two bristles each side black; 
abdomen grayish brown, tips of third, fourth, and fifth segments yellowish; vena- 
tion yellowish-brown, as in L. flavipes.

NOTES ON AULACOPHORA OLIVIER AND OIDES 
WEBER. 
By F. C. Bowonitcu, 
Brookline, Massachusetts. 
In the arrangement of my Austral-Malayan species of Aula- 
cophora the following notes occur which may aid in the study of 
this group. 
In Mr. Baly’s table of males, Linn. Soc. Journ. vol. xx, p. 2, 
No. 14 postica Chap. is placed in § A-p: it should be in § Ay hay- 
ing the middle anal segment sulcate longitudinally, as stated by 
him in the description, p. 12, and verified by examination. 
Unicolor Jac. cited by Baly 1. ¢., p. 23, states that the @ is un- 
known; the description by Mr. Jacoby, Notes Leyden Mus. vol. 
v, p. 201, speaks of five specimens, all 2’s; one of these five exam- 
ples in the first Jacoby collection is now before me and is a o’: the 
middle lobe of the anal segment is slightly concave, placing it in 
§ A-, of Baly’s table of o’s. Mr. Baly speaks of its resemblance 
to Boisduvali but the anal suleation seems to me to differ some- 
what and needs further comparison. If the two are identical it 
seems that intermediate forms must occur and I have seen none. 
Semilimbata Baly described I. c., p. 74, has no characters given 
for the o; the type specimen apparently came from “‘ New Guinea, 
(Wallace)”’; in the first Jacoby collection among the unnamed 
material is a o’ with the same label; the middle anal segment is 
deeply concave placing the species in Baly’s Ay. 
Denticornis Blackb. seems to me to be the same as fraudulenta 
Jac. The peculiarities of the two first joints of the o antennze 
described by Mr. Blackburn seem to me to be present in the 
type of fraudulenta (in my collection) and to have been overlooked
