Rejoinder to Dr. Bergroth and Mr. Distant.

slightly smaller . and in wanting the white pulverulent spots 

 on the abduraen. I append a fevv rfalient points of difFerence 

 between C. hlmacalala and C. viixta. 



C. bÜHdcalafa. C. mi.rtd. 



97—111 mm. 

 Ceylon. 



Black, uiarked with red 

 along the central line; 

 and some of the lateral 



ridges reddish. 

 Black, with a short red- 

 dish dash in the niiddle. 

 Black , with only the 

 edges, and two central 

 .secnriform stripes tawny. 

 As I have given a lengtliy description of C. mixia else- 

 where, I need not pni'.suc the snbject furthcr. The sexes differ 

 little. 



The insect which Mr. Distant describes and figures as 

 (7. viridis, is, I presume , from the Philippine Islands, and 

 appears to differ so much from the two species of which I have 

 been speaking that I expect it will jirove to be a third species, 

 at present in want of a name. 



Terpnosia Psecas Walk. 

 The British Museum possesses several specimens closely 

 allied to tliis species some of which were formerly associated 

 with T. Psecas in the collection , but whether by Walker 

 himself, I cannot say. It would Ije useless to compare them. 

 because the males and feraales all come from different localities. 

 The only specimen which appears to me specifically identical 

 with the type of T. Psecas, from Java is one recently acquired 

 from Borneo. This also is a female. When I see males from 

 Java agreeing with those from Ceylon, or females from Ceylon 

 agreeing with the type from Java, I will admit the identity 

 of T. Psecas Walk, and T. elegans Kirb. But I may say that 

 the true T. Psecas is a reddish-brown insect, very different 

 from the greenish females from Siani, which approach T. elegans 

 most nearly. 



Pomponia Greeni Kirb. 

 Concerning this insect I remarked , "Possildy allied to 

 P. Ransonneti Dist., also from Ceylon, but which I only know
