IG Mr. G. T. H#^une-Baker’s Revision of the 
Ethiopian species. I would appeal to observers in the field 
to give us these records. Many Eastern species have been 
described, some of which de Niceville deals with ; whilst he 
admits three Indian ones he states he believes there are 
only two, and it is to my mind clear that, when carefully 
sifted, the number of species now standing in the Oriental 
region will have to be considerably reduced. A study of 
the genitalia of the section we are now considering has 
been of great assistance in checking the natural groups 
into which the individual species fall, and it bears out 
previous experience that they are of the utmost value both 
specifically and generically.
