Pundaloya (Oreen coll.). 



Originally described by Smith from the Philippine Islands, this 

 species occurs also in Burma and Sikkim. It is a somewhat 

 variable insect , and Smith's description is insufficient. I have, 

 however, examined the type in the British Museum, with which 

 the Burmese specimens agree exactly ; the Ceylon and Sikkim 

 specimens are darker, and the former has a dull yellow spot on 

 each side, at the base of the 2nd abdominal segment. In Sikkim 

 specimens these two spots coalesce above and form an obscure band 

 at the base of the segment.

'Pnnd&loya, (Green coll.). 



Only one specimen in Mr. Green's collection, which is not 

 quite typical, as it wants the fulvous fascise on the underside of 

 the abdomen. Originally described from Natal, it is a wide-spread 

 epecies, occurring throughout India.
