Mr. E. E. Green has recently sent me two specimens of this 

 species from Ceylon, one is typical, the other varietal. 



Var. a. Basal and anterior margins as well as the lateral 

 angular areas of the pronotum pale ochraceous. 



A third specimen also received from Mr. Green appears to be 

 only a blanched form, but its position, pending the examination of 

 more material, is uncertain. 



Add : Hob. Ceylon ; Colombo (Green).
