sliiiiiiig, narrow, rcachiiif^ tlic eyes, the autciior border 

 concave, the posterior border sli;i;litly produced iu the centre; 

 there are two small brown stripe-like spots between the 

 antcmuic ; the paired spots are larj^e, black, reaching the eyes ; 

 the foreiiead is yellower, the tonientum being of this colour. 

 The stripes on the thorax are distinct. Legs darker, the 

 base of the tibire yellow ; the femora blackish, with grey 

 tomcntum ; the fore tarsi black, the basal joint of the middle 

 and posterior tarsi yellow, the other joints black; on the 

 middle and posterior tibiic the black pubesc;'nce gives the 

 a|)pcarance of a dark ring in the middle. Wings rather 

 darker, especially on the fore borders ; the anal cell is dark, 

 but the first posterior cell is light-coloured for two thirds of 

 its length ; the upper rosettes are broken up, so that none 

 arc distinct ; veins and stigma dark brown.

Oriental Reyion. 



The described species of H(pmatoputa from the Oriental 

 Region are fourteen in number, given iu Wulp's Cat. Dipt. 

 S. Asia. As the material in the British ^Museum (Natural 

 History) Collection chicHy consists of new species from 

 India and Ceylon, I have given a separate table fur these 

 and the Bigot types belonging to Mr. Verrall, including one 

 I'abrician species of which there are specimens in the Collec- 

 tion and one of AValker^s types from India. Another table, 

 mostly of the older species, chiefly from the East Indies, 

 including one of Walker's types, is given as a possible help 

 to identification. 



The six new species described are all from India and 

 Ceylon. 



Through the kindness of Mr. Verrall I have had access to 

 the Bigot types with the exception of H. cilipes and 

 H. pachycera. Of the former there is an example in the 

 British Museum Collection. Of the latter I have no know- 

 ledge ; it is distinguished, according to the author, by the 

 antennae being twice as long as the head, with a black 

 abdomen, two rows of spots and the borders of the segments 

 indistinctly grey. The author is doubtful whether these two 

 species should belong to the genus. 



H. concentralis, ? , Walker, is not included in the tables, 

 the type being without a head or wings, and no locality 

 given. 



H. serpentina^ Wied., described without a locality, is
