This group is confined to the New World, Europe, and Central 

 Asia. There is a single male of H. poggei in tlie British Museum 

 obtained by the writer at Quelta, Biluchistaii ; but this is the only 

 species which ranges into the Indian region. The specimen above 

 referred to, though agreeing best with poggei on the upperside, 

 appears nearer to proto in size and in the markings of the underside. 



Section D. — Male with a costal fold and with a tuft of hairs 

 on hind tibiae.
