examples closely allied to clara but I think distinct are described 

 at the end of the catalogue, with a redescription of clara, of which 

 Walker considered a 5-line description sufficient. 



13. antecedens, Wlk., i860, Pr. Ijnn. So. Ivond., iv, iii, $ . 

 Loc . — Macassar. 



N.B. — A $ in the Indian Museum collection, captured at 

 Dehra Dun (foot of the Mussoorie hills) is named by Bigot as 

 this species. There is also a & from Chitlong (Nepal) and a 5 

 from Bhim Tal (4,500 ft., Lower Himalayas), both in the same 

 collection, which are certainly of the same species as Bigot's speci- 

 men, but I doubt the identity with antecedens, Wlk. 



It may be noted that Walker had previously used the name 

 antecedens (in his Dipt. Saund., p. 193) for a North American species. 

 As, however, that name is considered by Aldrich as synonymous 

 with Argyramceha {Spogostylum, Macq. apud Aldrich) limatulus, 

 Say., there is no necessity to change the name of the Oriental 

 species. 



14. apcrta, Wlk., 1852, Ins. Saund., pt. iii, 180. 

 Loc. — Bast India. Western Himalayas. 



N.B. — In the Pusa collection and Indian Museum from Mus- 

 soorie, 7,000 feet, Oct. 1906 [Lefroy, Howlett]. 



15. manifesta, Wlk., 1852, Ins. Saund., pt. iii, 178, 2 . 

 lyOC. — East India. 



N.B. — Mr. Howlett has taken it recently at Mussoorie, and 

 as he has compared both aperta and this species with the types at 

 the British Museum I have redescribed both species more fully.

I (wing). 



I^oc. — Timor [t. Mcq.^ ; India [t. m.]. Type in Paris Museum. 



N.B. — To this species I refer, with but little doubt, three a? cf 

 taken by me at Jubbulpore (India), i5-xi-07, and three 2 2 ( ?) 

 taken by me at Itarsi (Centr. Ind.), i7-xi-07, and Poona (near 

 Bombay), 19 — 27-xi-07, all the specimens having been captured in 

 very dry long grass, on hot, dry days. There is a specimen in the 

 Pusa collection from Allahabad, taken by Mr. Howlett, 24-iii-i9o6.
