There are two examples in the B. M. from the Khasia Hills, 

 with a eoloured ti;.iure of Warren's nit/riscrij>talis from

Khasia Hills; several examples. 



I (leseribed the male of this form as Chalcidoptera incomi- 

 tata by mistake, being misled by a colonred figure in my 

 collection of the female of that species, which I had described 

 in Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xiv. p. 205 (1894), and 

 Sir George Hampson sunk it to Sylepta quadrim'iCnUuis, 

 Kollar, in Journ. Bo. Nat. Hist. Soc. xv. p. 21(5 : but I have 

 since received females of this form from the Khasia Hills 

 and )\\\i\ them to be idewiicA \\'\\\\ quadr'unaculalh oi liremer, 

 vhich was rechristcned mferioi' by Hampson. Having 

 received an identical female from Padang, Sumatra, I 

 thouglit it advisable to have it compared with Walker's 

 type of desmudis, a female from Sarawak, which is in ^Mus. 

 Oxon. ; 1 therefore sent the Sumatran example and a female 

 from the Khasia Hills to Dr. Dixey at Oxford, whose verifi- 

 cation can be relied on, and he replies that my specimens 

 are identical with Walker's type of Nayiu desmialis; it is 

 much like Kollar's insect from N. India, but is about half 

 the size and darker in colour, and the piominent white spot 

 at the end of the cell of fore wings and the dot in the 

 middle of the cell arc wanting, though in one example there 

 are traces (jf them. Thtreare several examples in the B. M. 

 from Japan.
