Type of H. nigronotatus in the British Museum.
Neither size nor sex is indicated by Brulle, whose type lacked
its abdomen. The hyaline area of the cubital cell places this
species, indubitably 1 think, in the present genus and not, as it
has hitherto been treated, in Ophion proper. Supposing this to
be the case, I have seen a single pair which agrees in every way
with the original description, enabling me to elaborate it as above
and certainly synonymise it with Cameron's female. This species
is evidently clnselv allied to ff.flavicaput, from which it is easily,
but apparently only, known by the strongly infuscate alar costa
and stigma.

Cameron simply differentiates this species from H. reticulatus
and //. striatus by its duplicated corneous alar marks, making no
reference to those of similar conformation among the remaining
species ; but its large size, stout build, and especially the basally
distinctly sinuate radial nervure, render it sufficiently distinct
and ally it with the genus Allocamptus, Thomson. Especially is
this the case with two females captured in Ceylon by the Eev.
T. Wenham in 1845 (in the British Museum) and by Dr. Thwaires
in 1873 (in the Oxford Museum), which have the radius distinctly
bisinuate basally, the metathorax more regularly and stoutlv trans-
striate, the glabrous alar area with but a single corneous mark and
the colour ochraceous. I propose to call this form var. sinuatus,
though it is quite possibly of specific rank.

I have followed Tosquinet in the diagnosis of this species, which
I consider, in its original form, to have been a medley of several,
since Brulle says (loc. cit.) : " J'ai reuni sous ce mome nom d'Ophion
ruftis plusieurs individus de localites assez differentes, comme Ton
voit, et qui ne se distinguent que pas des caractores que je n'ai
pas trouves suffisants pour constituer des especes bien definies,"
though the neuration was by no means identical. He makes no
mention of the basally sinuate radial nervure, which renders the
present species closely allied to //. jlavicaptit, as well as to the
genus Allocamptus.
Paniscus perforator, Smith (Ann. Nat. Hist, xvii, 1876, p. 449, $ )
from Rodriguez, has been entirely erroneously synonymised with
this species by Dalla Torre ; its genus is correctly assigned by
Fred. Smith and I have examined the type in the British Museum
collection.
There is in the British Museum a very large Ceylonese female
of 30 uiillim. with the radial cell basally infumate, the radius basally
less sinuate and the external cubital mark lunate ; but probably it
constitutes a distinct species. This species has been bred by
Dr. Watt, on llth September 1897, from Dasychira mendosa,
Hiibn. (cf. Eeport No. XIV : Tea Pest).

Type in the author's collection.
The coloration is somewhat variable since I find the stigma
sometimes infuscate, the metathorax and second segment and hind
coxae often immaculate testaceous, the hind femora rarely no more
than centrally brunneous, sometimes entirely black with their
base alone pale, the basal segment with only the postpetiole
infuscate and even that apically testaceous ; the third segment,
however, appears to be invariably infuscate laterally at its apex t
rendering the large pale lateral spot at the base of the fourth very
conspicuous.
This species should probably be referred to a new genus
(hence my specific name) ; but although the facies is distinct from
Henicospilus. I can find no characters of probahle generic value
except the distinctly, not densely, pectinate tarsal claws.
It is evidently an abundant species, though not yet known to
occur outside Ceylon, where many specimens were taken by
Th \vaites in 1873.

At once distinguished from the other species of this genus,
described by Cameron in 1905, by the comparatively short and
broad third discoidal cell.
This species is very abundant throughout nearly the whole of
Europe, but has not hitherto been known to extend further East.
It has often been bred from a large number of Noctuid moth
caterpillars. No doubt can remain, I think, that Cameron's
description of his 77. ranthocephalus applies to Gravenhorst's
species ; most of the Indian specimens I have examined have the
head testaceous. It is certainly one of the commonest of the
Indian species of this genus. In the Pusa collection there is a
specimen bred from the Lymantriid moth, Ettproctis scintillans,
AVlk., and Mr. Green has bred a small male from the larva of
Euproctis fraterna, Moore, at Peradeniya.
