All the species described in tliis paper were taken by 

 Mr. E. A. D'Abreu in the Central Provinces, and nearly 

 all of them at or near Nagpur. Some of them are not known 

 as yet from any otiicr locality, but others are apparently 

 more widely spread, and three of them I took myself many 

 years ago at Bel^aum, in the soutli of the Bombay 

 Presidency. Mr. D'Abrcu has kindly allowed me to retain in 

 my collection the types of such species as are not already 

 represented in it.
