Specimens of this insect were identified \>j me in the British Musenm, 

 where I found those with red and those with green on the ventral surface 

 of the abdomen, under the same label. I am not sure Init that a careful 

 study of the two forms will reveal specific differences, but for the' present 

 I liave included specimens with green abdomen, collected in Palawan, 

 under this specific name. 



Palawan, Bacuit, and Iwahig, P. I., (11648 and 11704 G. M. Weber), 

 4 specimens in all.
