Diopsis attenuata Dolesch. I Bijdr. 413, Tab. 8, f. 2. (Java)! 



Syn. IDiopsis latimana Rondani, Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, VII, 444 (Borneo) ! 

 Diopsis lativola Rondani, ibid. ! 



One specimen from Buitenzorg, Java {G. B. Ferrari, 1875); 

 Seven specimens from Sumatra; Sungei Bulu, Sept. 1878; Sin- 

 galang , July 1878 : Ajer Mantcior, August 1878 (Beccari). 



The specimens before me show variations in the coloring , 

 which is more or less reddish or brown ; in the length of the 

 oculiferous peduncles, which vary from 6 to 15 mm. from end 

 to end ; in the greater or lesser incrassation of the middle ti- 

 biae ; in the greater or lesser depth of the excision on the 

 fore femora, which, in some specimens , apparently females , is 

 almost obhterated. Nevertheless I hold them all to belong to 

 the same species, for which I adopt the name attenuata Dol., as 

 I have seen the type in Vienna. In M.'' Rondani's woodcut of the 

 front leg of latimdna the expanded first tarsal joint is made too 

 short : it should be twice as long as the four remaining joints 

 together. The distinguishing characters of lativola Rond. are 

 among the variable ones, and do not, in my opinion, justify a 

 separation. 



Diopsis subnotata Westwood, Cabinet of Oriental Entomology, 

 Tab. 18, f. 2. (Philippine Islands) ! 



The above-quoted figure , at least in the copy which I con- 

 sulted, is colored too black. I have named my specimens after 

 the type in Oxford, and possess the same species from the Phi- 

 lippine Islands. 



Diopsis sp. Mt. Singalang, Sumatra, July 1878 {Beccari); a 

 single specimen. It has two pairs of spines on the thorax , be- 

 sides those on the scutellum, and therefore belongs in the sub- 

 genus Teleopsis Rond. I cannot identify this species with T. 

 breviscopium Rond. which differs in the coloring of the body, 

 legs and wings , and is smaller. T. breviscopium Rond. and 

 longiscopium Rond., of which I have examined the types, seem
