specimen or specimecs from which the description is made were taken by 

 Mr. Pole on the Segersta Estate near Matale at an elevation probably of 

 l,0C0-2,000ft. Mr. Pole.writes to me " Minima I took in the Segersta Estate 

 amongst high grass .... I am sending two specimens to Bulter for 

 identification." While not wishing in any way to invalidate this species 

 I would wish to warn Entomologists including Mr, Bulter from describing as 

 a new species a member of the genus SpindasisiYOva. Ceylon unless they possess 

 a very full series. This genus in Ceylon varies to an extraordinary extent and 

 until extensive breeding operations are carried on, the confusion is only likely 

 to increase with each new species described, Mr, Bulter also describes 

 S. trifurcatus as occurring in the island ; as far as I can gather from Mr Pole 

 from a single specimen captured at Chilaw. Mr. de Niceville, Brit, Ind. Vol. 

 Ill, page 362, appears to consider Spindasis (Aphnoeus) trifurcata as identical 

 with ictis, a common Ceylon species,
