two new specias are also described.

This species is also well known in BRITISH INDIA, BURMA 
and SUMATRA. At Nongkodjadjar Mr. JACOBSON has taken 
a very dark variety in which the black markings on the 
tegmina are very distinct. Similar varieties, though not so 
distinct are found in BRIT. INDIA.
