The nearest ally of this species 1s LH. scutellata, Kdw., 
from Ceylon, but the resemblance is not very close. Compare 
with Longurio rubriceps, described below (p. 261).

Pselliophora divisa, Brun. 
‘This species was described by Brunetti (Rec. Ind. Mus. vi. 
p-. 242) trom a single female from the “ Hast Indies.” ‘The 
British Museum possesses a male from Sikkim, May 1896, 
2000 ft. (J. G. Pelcher), aud a female from Bhutan (purchased 
from Rosenberg). ‘Lhe male differs from the temale in 
having the hind femora densely clothed with long black hair, 
a remarkable character for a member of this genus. In both 
sexes the uniformly red thorax is somewhat shining ; the 
last four abdominal segments and the genitalia are uniformly 
dull deep black. The dam. term. inf. of the male hypo- 
pygium is serrate all along its dorsal margin. 
Pselliophora speciosa, sp. 0. 
A male in the British Museum from the Khasi Hills, 
Assam (purchased from E. Heyne), is evidently allied to 
Hs. divisa, particularly in regard to the densely hairy hind 
femora and the genitalia; it differs, however, as follows :—
