SYNONYMICAL NOTES. 



Tetrarthria lineata, "Walk., Cat. Heteropt. i. p. 18, n. 2, 1867 

 = var. Tetrarthria variegata,Dall., List. Hem. i. p. 20, n. 1, t. 1, 

 f. 1 (1851). 



I have received this form of the species from Perak, in the 

 Malay Peninsula. 



Tetrarthria lateralis, Walk., Cat. Heteropt. i. p. 21, n. 11, 

 1867 = var. Tetrarthria variegata, DalL, ibid. 



This form of the species is also found in Assam. 



Callidea aureocincta, Walk., Cat. Het. i. p. 41 (1867), Gallidea 

 suhapicalis, Walk., ibid. p. 36, and Callidea curtula, Walk., ibid, 

 p. 39, are three varietal forms of Philia senator, Fabr., Syst. 

 Ehyng. p. 131, n. 14 (1803). 



The above probably do not exhaust the varieties of T. 

 variegata and P. senator, described by Walker, but only refer to 

 specimens thus identified in my own collection.
