membrane with very fine and short bristles ou its liinii 

 margin, and which sometimes collapses in dried specimens 

 so as to make the segment appear distinctly bilobed. 



Ventral surface (PI. XT. fig. 15) : the basal sternite as in 

 the ^ ; this is followed by a long expanse of whitish con- 

 nexivnm, set with short bristles as on the dorsal surface, 

 and bearing two small brown chitinous areas on its hind 

 margin on either side of the middle line. Behind this is a 

 segment with its surface bare of bristles, composed chiefly 

 of whitish connexivum, but with two much larger brown 

 chitinous areas on either side of the middle line, each of 

 these areas bearing 4 long bristles on its hind margin. The 

 subgenital plate is completely divided from base to apex, 

 by a narrow area of pale membrane, into two brown firmly 

 chitinized portions, each bearing several long strong bristles 

 at and near its apex. 



Loc. Java, Sumatra, Burma, Ceylon. 



The host on which the type was found in Java is not 

 recorded. The Sumatran specimens (Mus. Genova) are all 

 labelled '^ Balighe, x. 1890-iii. 1891, E. Modigliani,^^ and 

 one also is labelled " Cynojitenis ? " Ceylon : the three 

 specimens are all from Cynopteriis brachijotis ceylonensis ; 

 all are from Peradeniya, Z ^ obtained xi. 1911 and 1 ? 

 obtained iii. 1912 {Fryer).

For examination of this species I have had before me the 

 following material : — \Yestwood's type ^ of N. roylei, pre- 

 served dry, kindly lent by Professor Ponlton from the Hope 

 Museum, Oxford ; a co-type ? of Speiser's TV. chlamydo- 

 phora preserved in alcohol in the Cambridge Museum ; 3 ($ 

 and 1 ? , unnamed and in alcohol, from Bihar (India) ; 

 14 (^ and 23 ? , also unnamed and preserved in alcohol, 

 from Ceylon. 



My examination of Westwood's type S in 1908 showed 

 that it belonged to the genus Cyclopodia. Subsequently, on 

 examining the co-type $ of N. chlamydophora, I saw that 

 this species also is really a Cyclopodia, but, having no ^^
