79. Teleopsis belzebuth Big. 1874. 



The specimens from Formosa, referred to this common Phil- 

 ippine species by Hendel, seem to belong to some other species. 



80. Sepsis viduata Thorns. 1869. 



A very distinct dark species, previously known only from 

 China. 



81. Sepsis spectabilis Meij. 1906. 



Previously known from Singapore and New Guinea. 



82. Taeniapteia galbula 0. S. 1882. 



This fine Philippine species has recently been found also in 

 Formosa. 



83. Eurybata semilauta 0. S. 1882. 



An endemic species, very distinct in the peculiar wing pattern. 



84. Telostylus maccus 0. S. 1882. 



The present specimens differ from the type by the want of 

 the black spots on stemopleura and on hypopleura; the pro- 

 pleural spot is, on the contrary, very broad. This variability 

 shows, perhaps, that T. maccus is only a form of the typical 

 species T. hinotatus Bigot; the allied T. decemnotatus Hendel 

 from Formosa is possibly, also, only an extreme form. 



85. Telostylus niger sp. nov. 



Very near T. maccus in all plastic characters, but distinguished 

 by the general black coloring, by reason of which it seems to be 

 allied to the recently described neotropical T. vittatus Cressen.-*
