Guérin's description is bad, and there must be some clerical 

 error in that of the face ; nevertheless there can be no doubt 

 that it is the same species; Schiner, Novara, 284, also reco- 

 gnizes the identity. I have seen numerous types of Doleschall's 

 in Vienna, and those of Walker in London. Loew (Monogr. etc. 

 Ill, 38) propo^s for this species the genus Scholastes. 



There are nine J^ and 12 9 specimens in the collection, most 

 of them from Ternate, six from the Aru Islands (Wokan), one 

 from Celebes, two from Amboina ; all collected by M.^" Beccari. 

 This seems to be a common species, of wide distribution, as it 

 occurs from Sydney in the South, to the Philippine Islands in 

 the North.

NB. To the genus Adrama Wk. belongs , besides A. selecla, 

 a second species, the Dacus deter mmalus Wk. (J. Pr. Lin. Soc. 

 I, 133! Borneo). It is the same as Acanthipeza maculifrons 

 Rondani (Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, VII , p. 438 ; a female , Bor- 

 neo !). It is very hke A. selecla, but is easily distinguished by 

 the color of the upper part of the thorax and that of the scu- 

 tellum ; the latter is yellow , with a well-marked large black 

 triangle in the middle. I also have a male A. determinata from 

 the Philippine Islands. These three specimens enable me to draw 

 the following description of the characters of the genus. 



Adrama (Syn. Acanthipeza Rond.) has the elongated, smooth 

 body of a Psila, or Loxocera; it also resembles these genera in
