type of marking on the first abdominal segment is the same as 
that in C. cselestina, but in C. cseruleifrons Kirby the basal band 
is interrupted in the middle, though the posterior incised or 
excavated area is of the same character. 
Crocisa erucifera sp. nov. 
Male and female . — This is the species that Friese determined 
for Professor Baker as C. quartinse Gribodo (type locality, Ce- 
lebes), but he included in quartinse a variety of species, even the 
shining blue-spotted one of Australia. Crocisa erucifera differs 
from the description of C. quartinse by the two conspicuous blue 
spots on the scutellum ; it also has the scutellum W-like, though 
the incision is very wide and relatively shallow. The first ab- 
dominal segment is blue, except the hind margin and a longi- 
tudinal median band, and the longitudinal band extends down 
the other segments, producing a black cross on a blue ground. 
The male has the hind femora toothed beneath.

The somewhat related Australian form, which has also passed 
as quartinse, requires a name:

W., 1912 (1913), 595.

(1907), 46. 
The scutellum is ^ ^ — ^-like and without blue spots; the 
pattern of the first abdominal segment is similar to that of C. 
cseruleifrons, except that the incision is broader. 
I have seen the type of cseruleifrons Kirby; it is certainly 
distinct. The type of C. omissa is from Mackay, Queensland 
{Turner 302), the species extends south to New South Wales. 
The following new species of Crocisa have been lately ob- 
tained by Prof. C. F. Baker in the Malay Peninsula : 
Crocisa callura sp. nov. 
Female. — Length, 15 millimeters; very robust, black, with 
turquoise-blue markings, not shining; wings very dark fuligi- 
nous, even the usual pale spots dusky; scutellum without blue 
spots, its margin ^ — ^-like. Allied to C. decora Smith, but 
larger, and with the following special characters: Median blue 
mark on mesothorax a band extending over halfway from an- 
terior margin toward posterior end; spots on each side of disk 
large, oval; posterior spots large; axillse with small spots; scu- 
tellum longitudinally grooved and well punctured; tubercles
