 Lovedale (T. V. Campbell). E.Himalayas; Kurseong (N. Annan- 

 dale), Sliamadang (Ind. Mus.). 



I have previously drawn attention to the variability of coloration 

 found in this species. A long series of specimens sent home by 

 Dr. Campbell shows that the posterior femora and tibiae are some- 

 times nearly wholly black, and in others the tegmina are without 

 the pale costal margin and also have the black ground-colour less 

 intense. 



The specimens I described as J. nocturmis (vol. iv, p. 332) may 

 also prove to be another variety of J. pauperculus.
