Head produced in a horn, as long as the body, subulate, ascending, 

 obtuse, somewhat compressed, subangulate, red, sprinkled with milk- 

 white spots : eyes subglobose, a globose pellucid dot beneath the eyes : 

 antennse beneath the eye, very short, two-jointed, lower joint cylindrical, 

 upper subglobose, fuscous, ending in a very small seta : thorax testaceous, 

 like the three-cornered scutellum ; abdomen, above fulvous, beneath black, 

 with luteous margins : tegmina fuscous, reticulated green and adorned 

 with various luteous spots margined with whitish of which the first 

 band is transverse and the second cruciform, the rest round : wings 

 luteous, broadly black towards the apex : feet flavescent, first and second 

 tibiaa black, third denticulate (Li^m. M. L. U.). Long 40 — 45 ; cephalic 

 process 15 — 20 millims. 



Reported from China, Cambodia, India. The Indian Museum pos- 

 sesses specimens from Sikkim, Assam. The next three appear to be little 

 more than local varieties of F. candelaria.
