?. The ti/pi' of this sjiecies is in the Tring Museum. It was bought some years 

 ago from a dealer in Paris. The specimen is labelled in (lUtirin's lumdwriting 

 " Macroiilonsiim iroc/tili/.i Gner. ic. R. a. (tyjie) Maurice." The specimen in the 

 Dublin Museum mentioned by Kirby, l.i:. as r>/a/i/n\s, and figured in Waterbouse, 

 Ai(/, belongs to the |iresent species, not to pinns. The locality " Silhet " of this

 janxs and .faiif/iun. Abdomen without belt, washed with tawny, especially behind, 

 underside of breast and abdomen cadmium-yellow, underside of palpus whitish, 

 of tail yellow, tip of tail tawny-chestnut, side-tuft partly black. Foretibia without 

 thorn at end. Tenth teigite with the ajiical curved part longer than in ('. lii/las
