stripes, and tlie almost uuiformly coloured yellowish-brown 

 ■wings, with hardly a tiace of a stigma. The hypopygiura 

 has small golden hair-tufts on the lobes of the ninth tergite ; 

 the inner claspers are not clubbed at the tip as in C.fulvo- 

 Jateralis. 'J'he greyish-brown head ; the sharply defined 

 dark thoracic markings ; the daikened tips of the femora; 

 and the position of r, which joins R2+3 well before the fork, 

 will suffice to distinguish C. majesticus from C.fulvipes, sp. u. 

 There are three males and one female in the British 

 Museum from Sikkim : Gopaldhara, Rungbong Valley, 1920 

 (H. Stevens). The body-length of the males, exclusive of 

 the liead, varies from 20-30 mm. 



Ctenacroscelis brobdiynaghis (Westw.). 



Westwood's type male has the wings almost -wholly 

 yellowish brown, including the stigma; a small dark reddish- 

 brown dot on each side of R2+3 close to its base ; the hind 

 tibite are broadly black and somewhat swollen at the tip, but 

 less so than in C. clavipes ; the postnotum has a broad 

 greyish-ochreous median stripe occupying quite half its 

 width ; the pale median stripe of the abdomen is broad and 

 is scarcely traceable beyond the first segment. 



Two males and a female from mountains 50 miles north- 

 Avest of Chengtu, China {W. N. Fergusson), differ in having 

 the wings more greyish brown ; no dark dots at base of 

 R2+3; the stigma and an area above and below it Arhitish, 

 also the base of the axillary cell and a streak along each side 

 of An whitish ; the pale stripe on the postnotum is narrower ; 

 and the abdomen with a narrower and fairly distinct median 

 pale stripe extending almost its whole length. I at first took 

 these for a distinct species, which indeed they may be, but 

 another male from Taipaishan, Shensi, 7. viii. 05 {Lord 

 Rothschild), is about as intermediate as possible. The hypo- 

 pygium is similar to that of C. clavipes, but lacks the golden 

 hair-tufts on the lobes of the ninth tergite, these being 

 represented merely by a few short yellow hairs. The wing- 

 length varies (independently of sexj from 40-49 mm. 



Ctenacroscelis fulvipes, sp. n. 



Head, including antennse, wholly ochreous, sides of 

 rostrum darker ; palpi blackish (at least at base) ; antennae 

 constructed as in brohdiynagius and clavipes. Thorax 

 ochreous, the brown pleural stripe of the brobdignagius group 

 narrow, but distinct : prjcscutum with three broad greenish- 

 brown stripes which are not dark- margined, the middle
