white hair; abdominal markings reduced to lateral patches, 

 those on first segment shaped like a boot, those on second 

 curved upward and broadly emarginate laterally (shaped like 

 a human mandible), the others broader than long. 



Coimbatore, S. India, the type Feb. 7, 1913 (T. V. R.) ; 

 another Jan. 1, 1913 {A. G. R.). 



In Friese's tables this runs to C. ramosa, but the scutellum 

 is quite different. 



Crocisa reducta, Cockerell. 



Described from Singapore, but the same species comes 

 from the Island of Penang {Baker). 



The posterior and lateral mesothora<ic markings have 

 much the outline of the stem and bowl of a clay pipe. 



Crocisa crucifera, Cockerell. 

 Described from the Philippine Is., but I cannot separate 

 one from Sanclakan, Borneo (Baker, 9966).

Ccelioxys apicata, Smith. 

 ' Coimbatore, India, January, May, October, November 

 (T. V. R., A. G. R.) ; Devanakonda, Kurnool District, 

 August (Ponniah). All females. 



Ccelioxys dormitans, Cockerell. 



Coimbatore, February, on wheat-ear (P. S.) ; Yemmi- 

 ganur, Bellary District, December (Ponniah). Females. 



The female of C. dormitans differs from that of C. apicata 

 in the venation, the first recurrent nervure meeting the first 

 transverso-cubital. In other respects they are so much alike 

 that one hesitates to regard them as distinct. The type of 

 C. apicata was a female from Northern India, in the Baly 

 collection. My knowledge of the venation (not mentioned 

 iu Smith's description) comes from a female from " India," 

 from F. Smith's collection. The group of species or races
