carina, N. tenninata (type) has none, though the wliole long 

 series has some indication of one. Tlie two species are 

 readily distinguished by the wings ; in N. terminata these 

 are flavo-hyaline, only the apex fuscous, while in N. fusci- 

 pennis the whole costal area is fuscous. I have never seen 

 an authentic specimen of N. fuscipennis from British India, 

 though Bingham gives Sikkim. All the specimens in the 

 British Museum are from the type-locality; Sumatra.

In his description Friese says of his species, " near Can- 

 dida, but without goldeji fascia on first abdominal segment." 

 I have examined Smith's type of N. Candida, and find it has 

 no such fascia^ but^ like N. hraunsiana, there is a little golden 

 pubescence on the sides of the apical niargin of the segment. 



In the British Museum there are specimens from RHODESIA, 

 (Salisbury {G. A. K. Marshall), determined by Friese as 

 ]V. hraunsiana ; Nyasaland, Lake Chilwa and Mlanje 

 {S.A. Neave) ; Abyssinia, Harrar, v. 1911 ((?. Kristensen),
