angulate at the outer apical angle; 2 very stout, eclongate- 
oval, oblique, slightly hollowed above, produced into a sharp 
tooth towards the base within, the narrow constricted basai

(types of Bourgeois), Belgaum, Pusa, Kanara (coll, Andrewes), 
Bombay (G. #. Bryant), Assam, etc. (Mus. Oxon.), Shillong 
(Ff. W. Champion). 
Apparently a less common insect in Southern India than 
L. externenotatus. The five females from Shillong agree with 
others of the same sex from Bengal, etc.
