ADDENDA.
With llie Jassidie, the Appendix (commenced in 1908, vol. iv, p. 420) has been completed ; but during its publication a very considerable amount of fresh material in tlie earlier groups has also accumulated, especially the fine collections made by Dr. T. V. Campbell in Southern India, which through the kind influence of Mr. E. A. Butler have hitherto all passed through my hands, and the types of new and examples of all the species contained therein are now deposited in the cabinets of the British Museum.
The present European war has, however, prevented and still forbids the loan of species described by Continental workers, and frequently under these conditions, as no comparisons can be made, references are only given to the original diagnoses.

This species has hitherto proved an enigma. Westwood's description was merely " Tota atra, nitida, tenue punctata, capite lato, scutello postice emargiuato." This diagnosis was copied by both Gerinar and Atkinson. It is probable that Westwood did not examine the underside of his species. I have now four specimens before me from South India that seem to be that species.
Body above totally shining black ; head unspotted ; body beneath dull black ; legs and a narrow abdominal lateral margin containing black foveation on the three basal segments, ochraceous ; antennae ochraceous, penultimate joint (excluding base) and the whole of the apical joint piceous ; ej^es castaneous ; apex of scutellum in S distinctly emargiuate, in $ almost roundly truncate.

I have scarcely a doubt that I have correctly identified Breddin's species. The colour markings of the upper surface of the abdomen are described by Breddin as a beautiful bright green, the sides of the dorsal segments, with the counexivum and the median band of spots on ihe back, pitchy-black. I prefer to describe the ground-colour as black, and the spots as either testaceous, ochraceous, or pale bright green.

I included the Mictis castanea, DalL, as a synonym of A. pliasiana Fabr. {supra), and Breddin has since (supra) treated it as a distinct species. This, however, is quite erroneous. The three species now known in the Indian fauna can be readily separated, apart from structural characters, by the colour and markings of the upper surface of the abdomen.

CAPTS. 177
Genus CAPYS. (Vol. IV, p. 489.)
Some amount of conjecture has been formulated bv Bergroth in relation to tbe generic namn Capys as here used. In 1907 Breddin proposed a new genus Capyella, which Bergroth correctly surmised was only a synonym of CiqnjK, Stal (1865). Tbe name Cajiys, however, was also used in the same year by Hewitson for a genus of Lycsenidse. Bergroth states that Hewitson's name was published a little earlier than Stal's and that, therefore, Capyella, Bredd., could be used as a new name, but lie does not give us any particulars as to the respective dates of publication, though pro!)ably he has some information that is neither known in Stockholm nor London where these names were proposed, and where I have sought — unsuccessfully — to discover exact dates of publication beyond that of tbe same year. I therefore do not consider that Bergroth is justified in this alteration, and I do not follow him.
