 By H. E. Andrewes. 



In this paper I am dealing with the Indo-Chinese species of 

 tlic following genera : — Diplochila, Hypolithus, Dioryche, and 

 Miscelus. I describe six new species, and add notes on all 

 the other species hitherto described, together with a key 

 under each genus, as an aid to identification. I have had 

 the advantage of studying the material in the British, Paris, 

 and Brussels Museums, and also the extensive collections 

 recently made in Indo-China by Mr. R. Vitalis de Salvaza. 

 For the loan of various types I have to thank Dr. R. Gestro 

 and Messrs. Severin, Lesne, and Flentiaux, whose kind 

 assistance has greatly facilitated my work. 



My notes on Miscelus extend to species found elsewhere 

 than in Indo-China, as I found it convenient to deal with all 

 of them now.
