 Alecton indicus, Chev., in litt. Lac. Gen. Atlas. 

 Bengal. 



M. E. Olivier has shown that this is not congeneric 

 with Alecton discoidalis, as might have been anticipated, 

 seeing that is a Cuban insect, but that it is a Pyrocoelia. 

 The species of this latter genus appear to have a very 

 extended distribution in the East.

 E. Olivier). 



M. Olivier does not agree with me in sej)arating this. 

 I remark, however, that as all the specimens he had 

 seen, and which all appear to come from Ceylon, are of 

 one type, he can hardly have seen the larger wide forms 

 from Northern India, &c. ; and I still think it will prove 

 to be a valid distinction.
