carrying a huge grasshopper clasped tightly between its forelegs. It 
passed me flying fairly fast and pitched on the trunk of a large tree, 
up the bole of which it proceeded to laboriously climb with its burden. 
Two or three times, owing to the tree having a smooth bark, it slipped 
- back, but finally, having got up about 25 ft., it disappeared into a hole 
(apparently the deserted nest-hole of a oudepeoten Iam sorry the 
tree was much too large to fell easily, or I should like to have got the 
nest. 
The figure in the plate, though perfectly correct in drawing, being 
that of a 2, ought to show the antenne convolute, not arched. The 
hyaline spot in the inner angle of the Ist discoidal cell has also been 
omitted.

Haprrat: Tavoy (Cameron), Tenasserim generally. 
This very beautiful species is common throughout the hill jungles 
in Tenasserim from May to October. At first sight it somewhat 
resembles, and might be mistaken for, S. leita, Smith, but apart from 
the fact that in S.leta the whole head and the thorax anteriorly are 
reddish-yellow, while in S. zndicus only the antennz are yellow, the rest 
of the head and the thorax being entirely black, the two insects differ 
in structure, S. ¢ndecus being stouter built and larger than one (for there 
are two, wide infra) variety of S. leta,and longer and less compact than 
the other variety. 
I have hunted high and low, and have watched a Q of this species 
for hours, without having yet chanced on its nest or seen what it 
provisions it with.

Hasirat: Burma (Smith), Tenasserim. 
It is remarkable that there seem to be two varieties of this | species 
absolutely indistinguishable except in size, and in the arrangement of 
the nervures of the hind wing. The large variety is perhaps the more 
common and measures 2 2 22 to 24 mm. ¢ ¢ 17 to 21 mm. in 
length. It isa much stouter, more robust insect than the other. The
