as considerably further forward than are those of Cyclopodia greejffi or 
Penicillidia jenynsi. This may be a constant difference, or may be 
partly due to the slightly earlier stage of development of the larvae 
examined by Muir. 
PuPARiUM AND PUPA: these are described, and the latter is figured, 
by Muir (1912, pp. 357-8, PI. II, fig. 10). His remarks have already 
been cited (above, p. 599) for comparison with the cotresponding facts 
in Cy do podia greeffi.

The material was obtained by Mr Frederick Muir in 1908, about 
30 specimens being collected from a number of individuals of Mini- 
opterus schreibersi. They were submitted to Dr P. Speiser, who gave 
them the manuscript-name of Penicillidia progressa, under which name 
they are referred to by Muir in his paper (1912). Speiser no doubt 
intended to publish a description, but appears never to have done so. 
Meanwhile 1 and 1 $ (in good condition, preserved in alcohol) were 
given by Muir to the British Museum, where the present writer drew 
up a description and made figures of them. - Muir (1912) published 
descriptions of the larva and pupa, but not of the adult, neither did 
he give any diagnosis for identification of the species, since he antici¬ 
pated an early publication on the matter by Speiser. Therefore, since 
the form is a highly remarkable one, the present writer has thought it 
best, after re-examination of the British Museum specimens, to publish 
his description above. Speiser’s manuscript-name ^‘progressa,'''’ used by 
Muir in print, must be the specific name, while a new genus is erected 
for reasons already stated.

This species was described from Coimbatore, Madras, on Pipistrellus 
dorrneri. It can now be recorded also from Bangalore, Mysore, collected 
by Rev. Father Assmuth, name of host not stated; Dr Bequaert has 
sent me a d received from that locality, and the specimen closely 
agrees with the type d • A var. niajuscula of this species has also been 
described by F. W. Edwards from West Sumatra, where it was found 
in numbers on “ Vespertilio sp.” (Robinson and Kloss coll.): I am 
informed that the description will appear in Journ. Fed. Malay States 
Museums, vol. vii.
