238 Mr. J. S. Baly's Descriptions of 



Sagra igiiita, Lacord. 

 In this insect, which ought to be placed under S. splejidida, the 

 under surface of the hinder thighs is generally tridentate, the 

 middle tooth being longest ; the additional tooth is formed by 

 the development of the anterior extremity of the denticulate 

 rid"-e of the lower edge of the thigh, into a short spine. The 

 specimen in my cabinet has a rudimentary tooth on the inner edge 

 of the hinder tibiae. 



Sagra formosa, Lacord. 

 I consider this insect to be the corresponding variety of the 

 Indian form of S. splendida ; a specimen exists in the collection of 

 Major Parry. 



Sagra JVeberi, Lacord. 

 The present insect belongs to S. Druryi ; most frequently the 

 posterior thiirhs are bidentate beneath, as in the typical form of 

 the species, but occasionally they are tridentate, as in the two pre- 

 ceding insects ; it then becomes S. tridenlata, Fabr. 



Sagra Fabricii, Lacord. 

 This form is unknown to me, but I have no hesitation in placing 

 it as a variety of 6'. superba. 



Sagra pygmcea, Lacord. 

 With this pretty little insect I am also unacquainted, but 

 although the tomentose patch at the inner base of its hinder thigh 

 is wanting, I regard it as merely a small variety of S. Pelelil. 



Sagra heterodera, Lacord. 

 This singular insect is evidently a variety, belonging to a species 

 the typical form of which is as yet unknown ; it ought probably to 

 stand in the first sub-section, near S. splendida. 



Sagra seraphica, Lacord. 

 Two specimens from Old Calabar, both females, apparently 

 belonging to this species, exist, one in the British Museum, the 

 other in my own collection ; others I believe are to be found in the 

 cabinets of Mr. Murray and M. Javet, but I know not whether 

 either of these gentlemen possess the male. 



Sagra Adonis, Lacord. 

 Is possibly a variety (analogous to var. A. of S. bicolor) of the 

 last species, S. seraphica.
