Also recorded from Orissa (Taylor] ; Nilgiris (Jlampson). 



In collections Indian Museum and de Niceville. 



I have two unnamed species of this genus, one from the Nilgiris and 

 one from Poungadaw, Upper Burma, neither of which Mr. de Niceville is 

 able to identify, but being only single specimens he has not described 

 them as new.

I have numerous specimens of this species from Rangoon, so named by 

 Mr. de Niceville. Mr. Elwes considers this species and the next (/.
