172 MESSRS. H. J. ELWES AND JAMES EDWARDS: 



its members, however, is different, and the hind tibiie are not fringed with long hairs 

 as in Baracus. The species are dark brown above, with or without a few small white 

 spots, which, when present, are placed near the base of cells 6 and 7 or 6, 7 and 8, 

 and more rarely there is another near the basal third of cell 3. 

 The species known to us may be distinguished as follows : — 



1 (2). Fore wing below umber-brown, the costal and apical regions but little 



paler : male without hyaline spots ; female usually with hyaline spots 

 in cells 6, 7, and 8. Hind wing below umber-brown, with very ill- 

 defined autemedian and postmedian macular dark bands oUvascens, Moore. 



2 (1). Fore wing below fuliginous brown, the costal and apical regions pale 



reddish brown, the latter with some grey scaling next the termen 

 from vein 3 to the apex : both sexes usually with hyaline spots iu 

 cells 6, 7, and 8, and in the female there is frequently a short hyaline 

 spot near the liasal third of cell 3. Hind wing below pale reddish 

 brown, with antemedian and postmedian darker bands, of which the 

 latter sometimes bears some spots of whitish scales Iienrki, Holland.

Chinese specimens are darker on the underside than Indian ones. Leech's figure 

 [I. c.) is not quite characteristic. 



Dr. Holland, to whom we had sent a transcript of our statement of the diagnostic 

 characters of olivascens and henrici, as given in the preceding table (using the name 

 kada for the latter) writes as follows : — " I have complied with your request, and 

 carefully examined my type of Astictopterus ! (false Cydopides) henrici. It agrees best 

 and quite certainly with the description of kada, Swinhoe. I have not a particle of 

 doubt that it is the latter."
