base of wing than to eud of cell. Hind tibia; with two pairs of spurs, and furnished in 
the male with a long tuft of hairs attached close to the proximal end, and reaching well 
beyond the distal end of the tibia. 
" This genus is coufiued almost entirely to Africa and the Malay Archi- 
pelago, henjamini alone being found in India, China, and Japan, Avhile the 
range oi anchises extends to Aden." {Watson, I. c.)

Both forms occur in China, together with examples intermediate between 
the two.
