of the small tuft of white hair on or just below the posterior cor- 

 ners of the thorax. 



The three specimens ( $ ? ) in the Indian Museum collection 

 agree well with all the descriptions ; the small subhyaline spot in 

 the 2nd basal cell is not always very clear, and the white tufts of 

 hair referred to are only visible in one specimen, whilst the conspi- 

 cuous, round white hairy spots on the 3rd abdominal segment 

 are easily effaced. The specimens, however, are absolutely uni- 

 form in the wing markings, and there is no doubt whatever of their 

 identity with Wiedemann's species, although one of them bears 

 a label in Bigot's handwriting " Exop. bipunctata Macq." It 

 is evidentl}^ an error for " binotata, Mcq.," as I cannot trace 

 that Macquart ever recorded a species as " bipunctata."

N.B. — A good series of this species (but in very indifferent 

 condition) in the Indian Museum collection shows that there is 

 a great tendency to appendiculation, and the presence of addi- 

 tional veinlets in the wings, this feature sometimes appearing in 

 one wing only. The species is at once recognisable from Mac- 

 quart's plate, and seems rather a consistent one in other charac- 

 ters, and in size.

N.B. — Van der Wulp's catalogue gives East India both for 

 this and the next species, which is incorrect. Walker's locality 

 being East Indies, which is quite different. He does not mention 

 the sex,
