150 K. MiTsrKUKi : studies on 



markings, I have looked for a known species with such colora- 

 tion as described above. //. hbllikcri Semper and H. clcmens Lud- 

 "sviG seem to answer the description best. But in what respects 

 these two species differ from each other and from other 

 species, can not be made out from the works of the authors. 

 ^Seeing■ that they come from the same locality — Samoa Islands — it 

 is not iniix)ssible that the two are identical. I call my specimen 

 provisionally II. clcmens, as the stone-canal does not agree with 

 the description of that of //. kdUikeri.
