Ditfers from the other Oriental species of the genus in the 

 colour of thorax. The black marks on the basal tergites are 

 not constant.

Four males from Hanoi, taken in April, differ from the 

 description of the females in having the legs entirely whitish, 

 the base of the coxae only black, and the tarsi infuscate 

 at the apex. It is possible that these represent a distinct 

 species, but as the difference may only be sexual, I do not 

 think it would be justifiable to treat them as distinct. The 

 costa is thickened before the stigma, so I follow Cameron in 

 placing the species in Selandria, and not transferring it to 

 Stromboceros, as is done by Konow.
