Bergroth's description is much the more exact in all parts, 

 save the colour of the abdomen above, which is not alto- 

 gether " nigro-violaceum," but only the apical area from 

 about apex of scutellum, and which Walker describes as 

 " abdomen with a very large purple apical patch." 1 have a 

 series from Ceylon and also a specimen collected ou the 

 Nilgiri Hills by tSir G. F. llampson.
