120 Mr. 'r. B. i^’4^rher on the cjcnus Dcnicrocoims. 
of Deulerocupiis Imgstroemi (probably from Java) examined by him, 
tliere appears to be an error on Ins ]iart easily arising under the 
al)ove-mentioned circumstances. 
“So far as at present concerns the species from Sokotra, in any 
case it stands very near to both the hitherto-described species, namely 
tengstroemi, Z., and mhrodadylus, Pag. Perhaps upon the whole we 
have to admit of only one widely-distributed species which has 
formed local races. 
“ In this species also the general coloration is a bright rusty- 
brown, the antennae ringed with black-brown towards the base. 
The second and third palpal joints with broad central bands. The 
pectus is wdiitish, especially laterally. The ground-colour of the 
legs is also reall}' whitish with increasing thicker rusty-brown irrora- 
tion towards the ends of the joints, noticeably on the tibial dilata¬ 
tions. The inner side of the hind-femur as well as the ventral surface 
of the abdomen is pure white, the latter with brown edging to the 
segments in the 5 only. The naked, very long spurs of the hind- 
tibiae are white with a blackish central band especially distinct on 
their inner side and blackish tips. Head and thorax thickly sprinkled 
with rusty-brown, the abdomen much lighter at the base, yellowish, 
in the ^ less thickly sprinkled with rust-brown, in Imth sexes with 
light margins to the segments. The anal tuft of the seems to 
cover a long uncus. 
“The rust-brown irroration of the forewung is in the 9 niuch 
more uniform, in the ^ strongly intermixed with light yellowish 
scales. Beyond the cleft there lies in the first segment a constantly 
distinct pale (yellowish) transverse bar, wdiich terminates on the 
costa as pure white. Before and beyond this the first segment is 
more or less sufl’used with Idackish. On the hinder-margin of the 
first segment the cilia are broadly suffused with blackish and they 
are also Ijlackish beneath the apex. The first subsegment shows in 
the ^ a distinct yellowi.sh patch before i, and beyond this the cilia 
on both margins are blackish. On the apex [of the first subsegment] 
lies a deep-black scale-tuft which is surrounded with white posteriorly. 
The second subsegment is darker, without markings, with broad 
black cilia on both margins; here also a black point occurs on the apex. 
“The segments of the hindwing are rusty-brown with lighter 
cilia glistening-yellowish basally, the third segment with a small 
black cilial scale-tuft in the middle of the dorsal margin and a 
similar broad apical scale-tuft surrounding both margins. 
“ The under-side of the wdngs is red-brown with a white-yellow 
costal spot at the termination of the transverse band of the ujjper 
side and a small bright-yellow spot before the apex of the first 
segment. Length of forewing 4*5 mm., expanse 9'5 mm.
