One very richly coloured female in collection, and a male — 
which I provisionally assign to this species. This latter is 
not H. agilis, Smith, which it somewhat resembles in its 
slender form, nor is it L. rts, Lepel., nor Campsomeris 
ceylonica, Kirby, with specimens (males) of which in the 
collection of the British Museum I have compared it.

Three males and six females in the collection, which corre- 
spond exactly with Smith’s description. In the British 
Museum collection at South Kensington there is a Salius 
from Sumatra labelled bipartitus, Smith, the label being, as I 
am informed, in the late Mr. Smith’s own writing. I have 
been unable to find the original description of this insect or 
any reference to it in Mr. Smith’s papers; but the specimen 
labelled bipartitus is nothing more nor less than a large fine 
specimen of peregrinus. ‘The species is very common in 
Sikkim, Burma, and Tenasserim ; and I have a series of over 
a hundred specimens of both sexes which, enter se, show great 
variation in size.
