to the clearness of the rest of the wing , easily distinguishes 

 N. mollis from the two preceding species. 



Sargus repensans Wk. J. Pr. Lin. Soc. IV, 96 (Celebes)! 

 Nine (/', one V; Kandari, Celebes, April 1874 (Beccari). 

 Walker should not have called the wings cinereous; otherwise 

 the description is recognizable. 



Sargus remeans Wk. J. Pr. Lin. Soc. IV, 96 (Celebes)! 



One d^; Kandari, Celebes, Apr. 1874 (Beccari). 



Fifteen other specimens (among them only one $ ), from the 

 same locality are smaller, the abdomen narrower , wings a lit- 

 tle paler brown ; on the second segment there are two large 

 yellowish-white spots, contiguous near the base of the segment, 

 separated beyond it by a narrow brown stripe. These spots 

 also exist in the other, larger specimen, but they are small, 

 almost rudimentary. In other respects these specimens resemble 

 Sargus remeans. 1 label them remeans, with a doubt. 



Sargus rogans Wk. J. Pr. Lin. Soc. Ill, 81 (Aru IsP')! 



One c/'; Dorei Hum, N. Guinea, Febr. 1875 (Beccari). 



The description agrees well ; the type in the Br. Mus. is da- 

 maged and hardly recognizable. S. ferrugineus Dol. is closely 

 allied, but has no brown spots on the abdomen ; neither is the 

 brown cloud near the apex of the wings mentioned in the des- 

 cription. Pteclicus Doleschalli Bigot, Ann. S. Ent. Fr. 1879, 231 

 (Mysol) is probably the same species as S. rogans. 



Sargus quadrifasciatus Wk. J. Pr. Lin. Soc. V, 274 (Bat- 

 chian) ! 



One c^; Dorei Hum, N. Guinea, Febr. 1875 (Beccari). 



The color of the abdomen seems to vary as to the extent of 

 the black; hence I believe that a 9 from Ternate likewise be- 

 longs here. S.rufescens v. d. Wulp, Tijdschr., etc. 1868, 104, 

 Tab. Ill, f. 7-9, is a species of the same group. 



NB. Sargus rogans and quadrifasciatus, perhaps also repensans
