EVAZA. 31 



12. vi. 1907, 5. vii. 1907, 9. viii. 1907, 26. ix. 1907 ; Dibrugarh, 

 N.E. Assam, 17-19. xi. 1911 {Kemp); Tura, 1200-1500 ft., Assam, 

 vi. 1917 {Kemp) ; Batavia, Java, viii. & x. 1907 (Jacobson) ; Sema- 

 rang, Java, i. 1906 {Jacobson) • Andaman Is., 27. iii. 1911 {Paiva). 



The pupa-case is about 8 mm. long, pale pinkish brown, covered 

 with whitish granulated dust, and 13-segmented ; head end very 

 pointed ; from 4th segment onward, sides nearly parallel, flattened, 

 last segment the longest, with rounded tip ; on upper and lower 

 sides a row of yellow bristles across middle of each segment. 



For many years this species has been known as Tinda indica, 

 Walk,, but de Meijere supports its identity with the Beris javana 

 of Macquart described from Java. B. javana, Wulp, from Sumatra, 

 is a different species and a true Beris.*

Head as broad as thorax ; eyes large, contiguous in <$ ; upper 

 facets much larger than lower ones ; frons narrow in $ , facets of 

 uniform size. Antennae short, 1st joint longer than 2nd, 3rd oval, 

 with four annnlations, -longer than 2nd, with apical arista. Pro- 

 boscis short, projecting barely beyond mouth-opening; palpi 

 hardly as long as proboscis. Thorax elliptical, microscopically 

 pubescent, slightly narrower anteriorly, longer than head, very 

 slightly arched ; scutellum semicircular, with four moderate-sized 

 spines. Abdomen elliptical, 5-segmented, a little broader and 

 longer than thorax, slightly arched, microscopically pubescent ; 

 rather broader in § • Legs simple. Wings with normal venation 

 of subfamily ; 3rd vein forked ; three veins issuing from discal 

 cell,f and cell closed at some distance from wing-margin. 



Range. Only known from the East. 



Erom Kertesz's description there are not enough data to include 

 E. indica satisfactorily in a table of species. The frons at its 

 narrowest part in the 5 is one-thirteenth the width of the head. 

 In E. bipars it is one-tenth or thereabouts at that part, being 

 about 2| times wider at vertex. In E.flavipes the frons of the 9 

 is four times as wide at vertex as at its narrowest part.
