1909.] Records of the Indian Museum. 431 



Legs. — Blackish brown ; base of hind femora, tips of four 

 anterior femora, and the anterior tibiae wholly, pale tawny brown. 

 N Wings. — Pale grey ; stigma brown but ill-defined, elongated 

 and spread over both mediastinal and sub-costal cells, and from 

 this stigmatic spot, a brownish grey band proceeds posteriorly, 

 rapidly narrowing, and disappears on reaching the outer cross- 

 vein, thus forming what at a short distance appears to be a brown 

 triangular cloud, darkest in front. The lower branch of the upper 

 fork of the fourth longitudinal vein issues from below the middle 

 of the outer side of the discal cell which latter has the appearance 

 of having the upper outer corner cut off by the upper branch. 



Described from one & in perfect condition in the Indian 

 Museum collection from Gowchar (Nepal). A very distinct and 

 handsome species. 



N.B. — Prof. Bezzi's new species (sauteri, & 9 ) from Formosa, 

 Takao, 15-iv and ii-v-07, falls next to segmentatus in my table, 

 but is of quite a different t3rpe to all the other species herein men- 

 tioned, belonging to the aureus, Mg., group of European species, 

 to which group I can refer no species from a truly Oriental locality. 

 Probably Formosa, and the whole of China also, belongs to the 

 Palsearctic Region.

 last segments. Black hairs adorn the borders of the segments 

 and the tip of the abdomen. Belly similarly marked.

 the posterior border. The veinlets of upper fork of the fourth 

 longitudinpl vein issue contiguously from extreme corner of dis- 

 cal cell, the outer side of which is quite straight. Stigma dark 

 brown, oval, distinct. Costal cell yellowish. Halteres yellow, 

 knobs brown.
