(here figured) nor one from the Philippines, from this variably 

 coloured species.

 Wien. ent. Zeit. xxiii, p. 117 (1904). 



" The present species can only be confused superficially with 

 vitretts, Sign., from Madagascar. In both sexes, however, of 

 breddini the eyes are actually contiguous intero-posteriorly, while 

 in vitreus, even in the males, the interior margins of the eyes do 

 not touch together. This character is constant in eight breddini 

 and thirty-seven vitreus that I have examined." (Kirkaldy.) 



This is the only description of the species (without dimensions) 



Fig. I9i.Ani 



given by Kirkaldy, and as the peculiar structure of the eyes is 

 found in some Bengal specimens, one of which is here figured, I 

 have concluded that those from Bengal and Celebes are the same. 

 The colour is greyish yellow, the abdomen black beneath excluding 

 a central longitudinal yellow ridge, and there is a black spot near 

 the coxae. It scarcely appears to be congeneric ! 



Length 7 millim. 



Hob. Bengal ; Port Canning, Dhappa, Calcutta (Ind. MIAS.). 

 Celebes (fide Kirlcaldy}. 



At Dhappa found in fresh water ; at Port Canning in brackish
