Species o/Eiiocera in the British Museum, 93 it is a mere dot, while in three females of the same species it is much larger (in all three it touches the front but not the hind margin of the wing). Remarks on various Species. 1. E. ornata (End,), described from Sumatra, is repre- sented in the British Museum by two males—one from Port Dixon, Malay Peninsula, 19. ii. 1908 (G. Meade-Waldo), and one from Kuching, Sarawak, [J. Heivitt). It evidently occupies an isolated position in the genus, but there is no subgeneric name available for it, since Enderleih designated A. verticale as the type-species of Andi'oclosma. Apart from the peculiarities of venation, the parameres of the sedoeagus (text-fig. 2i) have a unique structure; the free portion is simple, elongate, blunt-ended, and more than half as long as the side-piece. The outer clasper and the penis are constructed somewhat as in the vei^ticalis group, and may perhaps indicate a connection therewith. The length of Rs is variable, being over three times as long as R in the Kuching specimen, rather shorter in the one from Port Dixon, and only twice as long as R in Enderleiu's figure. Fio-. Male genital claspers of sjiecies of Eriocei-a, X 40. a, E. brunctti, sp. n.; b, E. verticalis, Wied.; c, E. ricbrescens (Walk.); d, E. luteipennis (Edw.). 2. The Seijchelles Species.—The four species described from the Seychelles are evidently quite closely allied, as is shown by the structure of the hypopygium of three of them (7?. ohscurijjennis, E. fuscijiervis, and E. Inteipennis) (text- figs. 1 d, 2n, 2 o). In all these the outer clasper is regulaily narrowed tow^ards the tip, which is, however, bent inwards almost at right angles to the shaft; the parameres are bifid, the outer lobe being straight and pointed, the inner with a rounded tip ; the penis is small and not distinctly separated.
