Parts will appear at irregular intervals as they become ready. Volumes will contain about three or four hundred pages, and will not necessarily be completed within one calendar year. In 1965 a separate supplementary series of longer papers was instituted, numbered serially for each Department. This paper is Vol. 20, No. I of the Entomological series. The abbreviated titles of periodicals cited follow those of the World List of Scientific Periodicals. World List abbreviation : Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist. (Ent.)

The type-species is cited for each genus-group name, together with the mode of fixation and the name of any valid senior synonym where known. The catalogue includes 514 genus-group names, of which 15 are replacement names for preoccupied homonyms (including five new names here proposed) and 3 are alternative original spellings : of the remaining 496 names, 488 are nomenclaturally available (467 of them proposed for full genera and 21 as subgenera), and 8 are unavailable. A summary is given of the junior homonyms and their replacement names, and a synoptic list of genus-group names based on type-species from the Commonwealth of Australia is provided for the convenience of Australian dipterists. INTRODUCTION A PRIME difficulty in the taxonomy of Tachinidae arises from the very large number of genus-group names that have been proposed and the lack of any concise works bringing them together, even on a regional basis. Townsend's Manual of Myiology (1934-1942 in 12 parts, Sao Paulo), although helpful in many ways, is difficult to use and is now much outdated ; the only work containing an up-to-date catalogue of genus-group names of Tachinidae for any region is the recently-published Catalog of the Diptera of America North of Mexico (1965, U.S. Department of Agriculture). A basic requirement for revisionary work on the Tachinidae of the Oriental, Australasian and Ethiopian Regions is the compilation of, firstly, index-catalogues of genus-group names and type-species, and, at a later stage, of complete catalogues in systematic order containing full information on the status and whereabouts of the type-material of all described species. The present paper is a first contribution on these lines and provides a full index-catalogue of all genus-group names of Tachinidae based on type-species described from the Oriental and Australasian Regions. ENTOM. 20, I. I 4 R. W. CROSSKEY This catalogue covers the Oriental Region (including those parts of southern China such as Szechwan that are normally considered Oriental) and the whole Australasian Region, of which New Zealand is considered an integral part. I have also included the genus-group names based upon type-species from Japan, although probably rather less than half of the Japanese tachinid fauna is of Oriental origin. I accept Weber's line (coinciding with the ethnic boundary between Indonesia and Melanesia) as the junction between the Oriental and Australasian Regions, as it appears to reflect the zoogeography of tachinidae rather better than Wallace's line. The 514 names in the catalogue comprise 280 names for the Oriental Region exclusive of Japan, 17 names for Japan, 140 names for the Commonwealth of Australia, 24 names for Melanesia and Polynesia and 53 names for New Zealand. The fact that there are twice as many names of the genus-group for the Oriental Region as for Australia does not indicate that there is a real difference in the generic composition of the tachinid fauna of the two areas — merely that the Australian fauna is less well known and was not worked upon by Townsend (almost all of whose manifold genera were monotypic). The excessive splitting of Townsend (who provided 1491 new generic and 1555 new trivial names : Arnaud, 1958, Micro- entomology 23 : 4) has fortunately affected the taxonomy of the Old World fauna less drastically than that of the New World, and the present catalogue contains the relatively modest number of 198 Townsend names. Nevertheless, most of these are undoubtedly unnecessary, and many have already been sunk in synonymy by Mesnil (1944-1965, Flieg. Palaearkt. Reg. 64g : 1-879) and Crosskey (1966, Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 35 : 95-104). Mesnil, in his papers on new Oriental Tachinidae (1953, Bull. Annls Soc. r. ent. Belg. 89 : 85-114 ; 146-178 and 1957, Mem. Soc. r. ent. Belg. 28 : 1-80) has published the descriptions of twenty- three genera in the form of combined " n.g., n. sp. " descriptions : in each case, however, the first part of the description compares the new genus with other genera and cites characters that may be regarded as differen- tiating the generic, rather than the specific, taxon, and I therefore accept the names concerned as available and satisfying Article 13 (i) of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. All but one of the twenty-four Oriental and Australasian genera described by Brauer & Bergenstamm (1889-1894, Denkschr. Akad. Wiss., Wien 56 : 69-180 ; 58 : 305- 446 ; 60 : 89-240 and 61 : 537-624) were monotypic, but for nine of the twenty-three monotypic genera Brauer & Bergenstamm made it clear by the use of the word " fur " or " Type " that they were erecting the genus for a particular species. For these nine genera I have cited the type-species as fixed by original designation : the others are fixed by monotypy. The generic name Glossidionophora Bigot, 1885 is omitted, since it is based on the Neotropical species Glossidionophora nigra Bigot, 1885 by the subsequent designation of Townsend (1916, Insecutor Inscit. menstr. 4:7), and not— as Paramonov (1956, Aust. J. Zool. 4 : 368) has stated in error — on the Australian species Glossidionophora bicolor Bigot, 1885. The name Biomyioides Matsumura, 1916 is also omitted as there seems no doubt at all that this name must apply to a species of Silbomyia Macquart (Calliphoridae ; Ameniinae), judging from the excellent description in GENERA OF ORIENTO- AUSTRAL ASIAN TACHINIDAE 5 English, although I have been unable to trace the type-material of the type-species to confirm this (Biomyioides Matsumura, 1916, Thousand Insects of Japan, Addit. 2 : 388 was overlooked by Townsend and omitted from the Manual of Myiology and the name has remained enigmatic) . The unique female holotype (in Zoologisch Museum, Amsterdam) of the type- species of Cypselopteryx Townsend, 1926, has been examined while preparing this paper and found to belong in the aberrant subfamily Eginiinae of the Muscidae, and the name Cypselopteryx is therefore omitted from the catalogue. Wagneriopsis Townsend, 1927, is omitted as — despite the similarity of the name to Wagneria R.-D. — this name applies to a Rhinophorid and is a synonym of Acampomintho Villeneuve, 1927 (synonymy in Townsend, 1938, Man. Myiol. 6 : 207). Finally it should be noted that Baranov spelt his name with either a terminal " v" or " ff " in his papers on Oriental Tachinidae : I have not differentiated in the catalogue but have adopted the " v " ending throughout. In the following list, available genus-group names are printed in bold italic capitals, preoccupied homonyms and unavailable names in italic capitals.

The specific name indistincta is available under Article II (g) (ii) of the Inter- national Code of Zoological Nomenclature and is attributable to Gardner, but the generic name Masicerella is not accompanied by a definition of the generic taxon and does not fulfil the requirements of Article 13 (a) of the Code; it is therefore an unavailable nomen nudum.

Type- species: Tachina vivipara Fabricius, 1805, by PRESENT DESIGNATION (see discussion). Probably AUSTRALIA (Insulis maris pacifici). The citations of a type-species for Rutilia Robineau-Desvoidy until now existing in the literature are invalid under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (for reasons discussed further below) as type-designations for this genus, and Tachina vivipara Fabricius, 1805, is therefore here designated as type-species. The mention of the single species Rutilia desvoidyi Guerin-Meneville, 1843, in Rutilia by Brauer & Bergenstamm (1889, Denkschr. Akad. Wiss., Wien 56 : 152) does not constitute type-fixation since this species was cited only as an example of the genus (Opinion 98 of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature) and is not an originally included nominal species. To fix a type-species Townsend (1916, Insecutor Inscit. menstr. 4 : 8) desig- nated " Rutilia vivipara RD ", and this is the earliest type-designation for Rutilia (which has four originally included nominal species, one of which is Tachina vivipara Fabricius) : this designation is however invalid on two grounds. Townsend's designation is not amplified by any statement other than " Rutilia vivipara RD " and it is therefore not clear whether this is intended to mean the species supposedly misidentified by Robineau-Desvoidy as vivipara Fabricius or whether Townsend meant the true vivipara Fabricius ; the designation is made in an ambiguous manner and is invalid under Article 67 (c) of the Code. If, as seems probable from Townsend's later work, he meant vivipara in the sense of Robineau-Desvoidy, not of Fabricius, the designation is also invalid on the ground that " Rutilia vivipara RD " is not an originally included nominal species: a nominal species is a named species objectively defined by its type-specimen (Code, Glossary : 152), and the only species named vivipara and men- tioned by Robineau-Desvoidy is Tachina vivipara Fabricius defined by the Fabrician type- material (now lost) ; there is no nominal species Rutilia vivipara RD and the designation of Townsend is therefore an invalid subsequent designation (Article 69 (a)). Guerin-Meneville (1843, Rev. Zool. 1843 : 264), on the basis of discrepancies between the descriptions of Fabricius and Robineau-Desvoidy, considered that the latter author had misidentified Tachina vivipara Fabricius, and that the species actually seen by Robineau- Desvoidy was undescribed when Robineau-Desvoidy described Rutilia. Guerin-Meneville (1843, Rev. Zool. 1843 : 269) himself described the species supposedly misidentified by Robin- eau-Desvoidy as Rutilia desvoidyi Guerin-Meneville, and Engel (1925, Zool. Jb. 50 : 361) and Townsend (1936, Man. Myiol. 3 : 153) have cited Rutilia desvoidyi G.-M. as the type-species of Rutilia] but desvoidyi is not an originally included nominal species and neither of these citations is a valid type-designation. Enderlein (1936, Veroff. dt. Kolon.-u. Ubersee-Mus. Bremen 1 : 428—429) and Townsend (1938, Man. Myiol. 7 : 422) both cited Rutilia desvoidyi Guerin-Meneville as the type-species of Rutilia but made it clear at the same time that they considered it to be the same as Rutilia vivipara Robineau-Desvoidy, nee Fabricius; however this does not provide a valid type- designation for Rutilia under Article 69 (a) (iv) since Rutilia vivipara Robineau-Desvoidy is not a nominal species (see above). Article 70 (b) on deliberate use of misidentification applies only to new nominal genera established by the designator and is not germane to the present case (which is not one requiring a Commission ruling under Article 70) . In the absence of a previous valid type-designation I am here designating Tachina vivipara Fabricius, 1805, as the type-species of Rutilia Robineau-Desvoidy. This selection does not affect the generic concept of Rutilia, but it should be noted that the generic name Stiraulax Enderlein, 1936, becomes a junior objective synonym of Rutilia since it is also based on vivipara Fabricius. The name Rutilia vivipara (Fabricius) is in current use for the commonest brown-coloured Rutilia species ranging from Cape York to Tasmania, and the choice of vivipara Fabricius (rather than another species) as type-species is preferred by Australian specialists (Colless, personal communication).

SUMMARY OF PREOCCUPIED AND REPLACEMENT NAMES The following list summarises the preoccupied junior homonyms in the genus-group names of Oriental and Australasian Tachinidae, together with their replacement names: Preoccupied name Arthuria Malloch, 1938 Chlorogaster Macquart, 1851 Delta Malloch, 1930 Diaphania Macquart, 1843 Duvaucelia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 Engycera Malloch, 1938 Euphasia Townsend, 1908 Hygia Mesnil, 1952 Mallochiola Strand, 1932 Mycteromyia Mesnil, 1950 Neophasia Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1893 Phorocerosoma Malloch, 1929 Pygidia Malloch, 1930 Scotiella Mesnil, 1940 Tayloria Malloch, 1930 Thyellina Mesnil, 1949 Verreauxia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 Replacement name Montanarturia Miller, 1945 Chlorogastrina n. n. Deltomyza Malloch, 1931 ; Mallochiola Strand, 1932 (preoccupied) Prodiaphania Townsend, 1927 Curtocera Macquart, 1835 Gracilicera Miller, 1945 Neximyia n. n. none required (Hygi a Mesnil currently treated as synonym of Chaetexorista Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1894). none required (Deltomyza Malloch available as replacement name for Delta Malloch) Mycteromyiella Mesnil, 1965 Euphasia Townsend, 1908 (preoccupied) Phorocerostoma Malloch, 1930 Pygidimyia n. n. Spixomyia n. n. Efftayloria Malloch, 1941 Winthellia n. n. none required (Verreauxia Robineau-Des- voidy currently treated as synonym of Blepharipa Rondani) GENERA OF OKI ENTO-AUST RAL ASIAN TACHINIDAE 33 The following new combinations result from the new names proposed above: Chlorogastrina tasmanensis (Macquart, 1851) comb. n. Neximyia picta (Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1893) comb. n. Pygidimyia rufolateralis (Malloch, 1930) comb. n. Winthellia brevicornis (Mesnil, 1949) comb. n.

A. MOUND CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION ........... 43 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ......... 45 CHECK LIST OF SPECIES WITH STATE RECORDS ..... 45 KEY TO GENERA .......... 46 DESCRIPTION OF GENERA AND SPECIES ...... 47 REFERENCES ........... 73 INDEX TO SPECIES AND GENERA ........ 74 SYNOPSIS Nineteen species of Aeolothripidae are recognized from Australia and these are distributed in seven genera. One of these species, fasciatus, is Holarctic, one of them, cinctus, is here recorded from India, but the others are known only from Australia. The type specimens of all the Australian species except cinctus have been examined, and all the species are re-described and keys provided for their recognition. Six new combinations and three new synonymies are included and three species are recalled from synonymy. Three new species and two new genera are described, and one of these genera includes two South American species originally described in Desmothrips. INTRODUCTION THE systematics of the order Thysanoptera have been little studied in Australia, although there are records and descriptions of more than three hundred nominal species. About half of these names were published privately by A. Girault in a series of very brief descriptions (see de Santis, 1961), and almost all the other species were described in various journals by one of the following authors : Bagnall ; Karny ; Hood ; Morison ; Moulton ; Priesner. With this widely scattered literature the identification of species is a serious problem, especially as the total number of species involved probably far exceeds the figure of three hundred quoted above. The only keys that have been published refer to the fifteen species of common flower thrips and potential pests (Steele, 1935), and the annotated check list published by Kelly & Mayne (1934) is in need of revision. The object of the present paper is the production of keys for the recognition of the described species in the smallest of the three major families, in order to provide a framework for future studies. Most of the species are known only from a single sample and many from a unique specimen, and this is due to the lack of collectors. Most species have been collected by one of the following three workers : Girault in Brisbane, Kelly in Melbourne and Newman in Perth. In view of the problems raised by the variation within species, further work must begin with both extensive and intensive collecting. ENTOM. 2O, 2. 2§ 44 L- A. MOUND Many of the earlier descriptions of Australian Thysanoptera species refer mainly to colour patterns and characters derived from a study of the silhouette of the insects, but modern microscopes have made possible the examination of a wider range of characters, such as the integumental sculpture and chaetotaxy of the ventral surface. For the full examination of these characters however, specimens must be fully dehydrated and cleared and the present author usually macerates some specimens from each series in 5% sodium hydroxide solution for about one hour. This destroys the body contents and pigments, thus facilitating dehydration and clearing in clove oil, but if prolonged it lightens the cuticular colour and damages the wings. The period of maceration varies with the material available even within a species. In general however very small pale thripids require longer treatment than larger specimens, although very large black species may require partial bleaching to demonstrate some details. The inadequacy of the silhouette type of character by itself for recognizing species is evident from the data Karny (1924) gave for separating the four then known species of Desmothrips. He gave the following ratios between antennal segments III and IV as the most important differences between the species : bagnalli 100/90 ; propinquus 108/102 ; australis 104/82 ; tenuicornis 165/126. When reduced to unity these figures become : i/i-n ; 1/1-06 ; 1/1-27; I/I'3I '> whilst comparable figures produced during the course of the present study gave the following ranges : australis 1/1-04 to i/i'3i and tenuicornis 1/1-15 to 1/1-37. The other distinguishing characters used included the relative lengths of the dark and light areas on the fore wing, and the extent of brown shading on the apex of the third antennal segment. The variation in these characters is discussed below under D. australis. In the present revision considerable emphasis is laid on the chaetotaxy of both the mesonotum and the abdominal sternites, and also on the sculpture of the metanotum. These characters may be of considerable importance in defining and working out the relationships between genera. In Arcuthrips species the antennal sensoria have faint internal markings but this character may not be of any great value at the generic level. The sensoria of Desmothrips bagnalli have well developed internal markings but these are only visible in certain australis specimens mounted in Berlese Mountant. At the specific level, in Desmothrips, it has been found that the colour of the costal vein around the distal pale area of the fore wing is more constant than the colouration of the wing membrane itself. Aeolothrips and Desmothrips have been considered to belong in two different tribes, the Aeolothripini and the Orothripini. This grouping was based on the number of divisions found in the second segment of the maxillary palps. In Orothripini the second maxillary palp segment is clearly broken into about six divisions. In Aeolothripini this segment has about four pale transverse lines, each accompanied by a constriction, and at the apex only a single division is clearly free (Text-figs. 24-26). This difference appears to be a matter of degree rather than a fundamental distinction, especially as in some specimens the left and right palps do not have the same number of divisions, and the males of some Desmothrips species have fewer divisions than the females. Bagnall regarded the subdivision of the maxillary palps in Desmothrips as a primitive character, but in view of the supposed Hemipteroid ancestry of the REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN AEOLOTHRI PI D AE 45 Thysanoptera it is possible that the multisegmented condition is secondary. The relationships between the genera treated here are not clear. In view of the presence of laterally placed sternal accessory setae, none of the Australian genera appear to have any close relationship to the Holarctic Aeolothrips. However the two pairs of median accessory setae found on sternite' VII in Aeolothrips species may be homologous with the two submedian pairs of marginal setae on sternite VII in Desmothrips species (cf. Text-figs. 40 & 45). These two pairs of setae are usually smaller than the other marginals and Desmothrips species have more marginal setae than are present in Aeolothrips. Cranothrips is closely related to the Holarctic Ankothrips, and on account of their long setae these genera are placed in the sub- family Melanthripinae. It may be significant that other genera of the Melanthripinae have well developed sternal accessory setae. Andrewarthaia is clearly derived from Desmothrips, but Lamprothrips and Arcuthrips are rather more distant. Franklino- thrips species show the geographical distribution pattern often associated with relict groups.

This is a large genus, including about eighty species which are largely Holarctic in distribution. The sternal chaetotaxy is quite distinctive and the fore wings are usually banded. Antennal segments V to IX are connate, and, as VI is usually about as long as it is broad, these terminal antennal segments form a distinct compact unit. The sensoria on III and IV are usually short and broadly linear, that on IV curving slightly around the apex of the segment. The mesonotum has a single pair of median setae, and the males commonly have terminal claspers. Only one species has been recorded from Australia.

A single female, apparently of this widespread Holarctic species, is present in the Steele Collection. This is a new record for Australia although the species is known from New Zealand. The data on the slide are as follows : VICTORIA, Melbourne University, on rose, 31.111.1934. ANDREWARTHAIA gen. n.

Prothorax with numerous small stout recurved setae ; posterior margin with the fourth or fifth pair of setae from the midline twice as large as the other prothoracic setae. Mesonotum with about ten pairs of accessory median setae. Metanotum reticulate, reticles without internal markings ; a pair of pores medially ; metanotal setae as in Desmothrips, rather slender. Fore tarsus with typical Aeolothripid claw and tooth. Surface of legs, head, prothorax and lateral part of tergites covered with rows of fine microtrichia. Fore wing broad, venal setae numerous, short and stout except at apex, distance between them little greater than their length ; scale with 12 to 15 short stout setae. Abdominal sternites III to VII with a transverse row of short accessory setae, each seta less than half as long as the median marginal setae. Male abdomen as in Desmothrips, with sternal accessory setae but without sickle-shaped bristles, claspers or tubercles. Type-species : Rhipidothrips kellyanus Bagnall, 1924. The species included in the Holarctic genus Rhipidothrips have lenticular sensoria on the third and fourth antennal segments (Bailey, 1954). In kellyana (Bagnall) and aurea (Moulton) these sensoria are linear. These two species and the new one described below, are related to Desmothrips in having accessory mesonotal setae, a reticulate metanotum and sternal accessory setae. They can be distinguished L. A.

REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN AEOLOTHRI PI D AE 49 however by the presence of a pair of stout setae near the hind angles of the pronotum, and the greater length of the sternal marginal setae. The three known species, all Australian, lack the dark red internal body pigments of Desmothrips species and the cuticular colour is also much lighter. The genus is named in honour of the extensive studies on Thrips imaginis in South Australia by Professor H. G. Andrewartha and his colleagues. KEY TO SPECIES 1 Wings uniformly shaded ; antennal III largely brown, antennals IV to IX dark brown minor sp. n.

Rhipidothrips aureus Moulton, 1935 : 98. The following notes are based on the holotype and three paratypes mounted on one slide from the Moulton Collection. The species is very similar to kellyana in its chaetotaxy and sculpture, and the only distinguishing character appears to be the absence of shading along the hind border on the membrane of the fore wing. The type specimens are probably not fully mature but the fore wing ring vein is quite dark. Even in teneral females of kellyana, in which the ring vein is not fully pigmented and the body quite pale, the posterior border of the fore wing is distinctly shaded. The golden yellow colour of aurea is due to the body contents, and in addition the hypodermal pigment consists of numerous small orange-red globules. The abdominal tergites and sternites are shaded grey, and the tip of the abdomen, the mouth parts, and the base of the head are darker brown. Measurements (in /i).

Three species are included in this new genus, two from South America, Desmothrips monrosi De Santis, 1959 and D. topali Pelikan, 1964, and one from Australia and India, Rhipidothrips cinctus Hood, 1918. The metanotal sculpture of these species resembles that found in Lamprothrips but the antennal sensoria and abdominal chaetotaxy are quite different. Unfortunately neither of the two original females of cinctus have been examined during the present study. The species is known to the present author only from three females provisionally determined as this species by Miss Kellie O'Neill of the U.S.D.A., Washington, after comparison with the holotype. Miss O'Neill indicated that the three specimens could be interpreted as three different species as they differ in both size and colour, but such action would not be justified without further material from Queensland.

As indicated above, there is a possibility that the two Australian specimens on which the following notes are based are not conspecific with the holotype of cinctus, and the redescription is therefore limited to characters visible in both preparations. $.

REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN AEOLOTHRI PI D AE 59 species the apical half or apical third is brown, but in propinquus this shading is restricted fairly constantly to the extreme apex. On the other hand the extent of the distal pale area on the fore wing is highly variable in propinquus but is quite constant in australis. In propinquus the costal vein around the distal pale area is dark, and the pale area may barely reach the second vein or may extend fully to the hind margin. In australis the costal vein is not dark at the distal pale area, and this pale area is parallel-sided, extending fully across the wing. The wing colour of bagnalli is very like an extreme form of propinquus, with the pale area restricted anterior to the second vein, but this species is easily recognized by the beaded antennal sensoria. The fourth species mentioned above, obsoletus, can be recognized from the metathoracic sculpture as belonging in a very different section of the genus. Figure " A " in the paper by Steele is here considered to represent the wing of australis Bagnall. Archaeolothrips fontis was described by Bagnall from a single male which was later recognized by Bagnall and Kelly as the male of Desmothrips australis. This specimen was collected with two females of tenuicornis, but comparison with the known male of that species and one other male specimen of australis makes its identity clear. Pigmentation is very similar to the female, and the seventh, eighth, and ninth abdominal sternites have two irregular transverse rows of accessory setae. $. Length 1-4-1 -8 mm.

Desmothrips australis ; Steele, 1940 nee Bagnall, 1914 (in part). The type specimen of unguttipennis Girault has been re-examined during the present study and compared with the holotype of bagnalli. As Girault (19266) pointed out, his species is to be regarded as a synonym of Karny's. Kelly & Mayne (1934 : 13) indicated that comparabilis was the male of bagnalli, and through the courtesy of Dr. Priesner the present author has been able to examine the unique holotype and confirm this synonymy. No other species of Desmothrips are known to have the distinct discoid markings in the sensoria of antennals III and IV. The figure labelled " F " in Steele (1940) of a specimen collected at Montville, Queensland, and considered by her to represent a form of australis, is here considered to refer to bagnalli. This specimen is a male, but a female was collected in the same month from Nambour, a town about five miles distant from the Montville locality. These two localities are within one hundred miles of the type locality, Mount Tambourine, near Brisbane. ?. Length about 1-7 mm. Colour dark brown, fore tarsi and apex of fore tibiae paler. Antennal III yellow in basal half or two-thirds. Distal pale area of fore wing restricted anterior to second vein, costal vein dark in this region (Text-fig. 4). Sensoria on antennals III and IV weakly sinuate, with internal discoid markings (Text-fig. 23), rather more than three-quarters of the length of these segments. Sensoria on V and VI about half the length of the segments. Mesonotum with two pairs of accessory median setae ; metanotum reticulate, very similar to australis.

The original description of this species was as follows : " From uniguttus : Wing i fuscous save basal 1/4, antennae entirely fuscous. Second ring- vein half-way to third. Mundaring, W. Aus., L. J. Newman, Feb. 25, 1931. Second wing hyaline." Unfortunately no material of mendozai could be found in the Girault Collection at Brisbane Museum, but two females and one male determined as this species apparently by L. J. Newman and bearing the original data of mendozai were kindly made available by the Department of Agriculture of Western Australia. One of these females, bearing the Moulton Collection Number 5085, is labelled " Type ", although this is not in Girault's handwriting, and this specimen is now deposited at the Brisbane Museum. The species is distinguished from other Desmothrips species by having only three pairs of marginal setae on sternite VII. $. Length 1-8-2-0 mm.

(Text-figs. 32 & 48) Desmothrips obsoletus Bagnall, 1924^ : 626-627. Steele (1940), from the original description, considered that obsoletus was a synonym of australis. However on the basis of the sternal chaetotaxy and the markings within the metanotal reticulations, these two species fall in very different sections of the genus. The species is known only from the holotype female which is mounted laterally on a slide. It has not proved possible to remount this specimen dorso- ventrally and so the metanotum and wings have been dissected free to allow them to be examined. Two females loaned from the Brisbane University collection bear the following data : QUEENSLAND, Crows Nest, on Wattle, 26.viii.i949 (C. S. Andrew). The wings of these specimens are fuscous, the distal pale area being little paler than the rest of the fore wing. They are otherwise very similar to the obsoletus holotype. $. Length 2-0 mm. Colour dark brown, fore tarsus and distal part of fore tibia lighter brown. Antennal III light brown basally, but darker at apex and along dorsal surface of apical half. Antennal II lighter in apical third, antennal IV very little paler than rest of body. Dark area of fore wing extensive, distal pale area extends to second vein in one wing and just posterior to this in the other ; costal vein dark around distal pale area. Sensoria on antennals III and IV linear, broad, barely sinuate, rather more than half the length of these segments. Head apparently very short, with only one row of setae behind the eyes.

The differences between propinquus and australis have been discussed above under the latter species. The illustrations B, C, D and E given by Steele (1940) are regarded here as representing various wing forms of propinquus. Morison (1930) suggested that elegans might be related to bagnalli and stated that his species differed from propinquus by the markings of the fore wings. However in the specimen of propinquus here designated as lectotype the distal pale area of the fore wing does not reach the hind margin contrary to the impression given by Bagnall's description. In the right wing about half of the area between the hind margin and the second vein is dark, and in the left wing about a third. The difference is small between this condition and elegans, in which the whole of the area posterior to the second vein is dark. $. Length 1-7-2-0 mm. Colour dark brown, fore tarsi and tibiae paler. Antennal III yellow, brown at extreme apex with some shading extending proximally along inner apical margin ; base of IV and apex of II paler brown. Distal pale area of fore wing variable, some- times restricted anterior to second vein, sometimes extending to hind margin ; costal vein dark in region of distal pale area (Text-figs. 5 & 7).

Metanotum reticulate, internal markings of reticles not as extensive within each reticule as in australis.

(PI. i, fig. 3 ; PI. 2, fig. 15 ; PL 3, fig. 26) The latin adjective retractus means " revealed ", and also " remote ". Two males and a female from interior Hainan represent this large dark subspecies, with wings less angular than in acte but with similar dark coloration. The male upperside has much narrower terminal borders than any other race, and the two hind wing subtornal white spots are nearly obsolete. The female similarly has the subtornal white band much reduced, and the upperside colour is very dark brown. The tails are mostly black. The underside is uniform dull ochreous with no markings internal to the postdiscal lines, but with prominent black and metallic green markings at the hind wing tornus. Fore wing length is 20-21 mm.

Martin reported the species as " common throughout the year " in northeast Sumatra. Though the first record for Malaya (from the extreme north) was not made till 1940, there is a female in B.M. (N.H.) labelled " Perak, 3-4,000 ft., June 1897 ; Curtis " (i.e. Charles Curtis, cf. Corbet, 1956 : 69), and the species is now well known from cleared slopes of the Selangor-Pahang hills. INDO-ORIENTAL CHERITRINI 87 Sumatran and Malayan specimens show a similar range of variation. The forewings are much less angular than in acte, and the underside colour shades evenly from bright ochreous at the fore wing apex to pale cream at the hind wing tornus, while the postdiscal black lines are narrow, faint on the fore wing but bold on the hind, and the tornal markings are well developed. The male upperside is rather lighter, bluer, than in the northern races, and in both sexes, particularly the female, the tornal white spots are more prominent. The fore wing length is (16) 18-19 mm. In all these respects this subspecies is exactly intermediate between the wet season form of acte and staudingeri. The figure of the genitalia clearly shows the lateral lobes at the apex of the aedeagus, and the incurved flattened horns of the valvae, each with its apical spine. These features are present but less pronounced in acte and retracta, and are rather differently developed in staudingeri. " Type in coll. Morton, Lausanne." Fruhstorfer (1912). B.M. (N.H.). 3 , N.

As Evans found, the underside of this subspecies is much more vivid, a clear white with sharply contrasted orange costa and termen to the fore wing and apex to the hind wing, and with prominent orange markings, including cell-end bar, on the fore wing, which are replaced by black ones in the tornal half of the hind wing. The upperside tornal white markings in both sexes are clearer than in any other race ; these quadrate spots in the females of all the preceding subspecies have been large and almost conjoined to form a white band, but hereafter the veins separating them are much more broadly black. The males in a series from Langkawi, all taken in November or January, are shot on the upperside with a faintly greenish steely grey. This effect appears in individuals of all subspecies, and may be incidental, seasonal, or a maritime form. Langkawi specimens also show a tendency to the Malayan race in having the postdiscal black markings on the underside of the hind wing appreciably wider, comprising narrow bars rather than thick lines. The fore wing length is 17-20 mm. (19-21 mm. in Langkawi). The subspecies appears common, so it is not surprising that Koenig found it on his visit to Mergui. B.M.

It is interesting to note that none of the Cheritrini have ever been recorded from the well-worked Andaman and Nicobar Isles, where the Horagini are represented ; nor from Pulau Nias where both the Horagini and the Drupadiini have several species ; yet here is C.freja apparently flourishing on an intervening islet without either of the other tribes. Admittedly the Weh collection comprised only eleven species of Lycaenidae ; if the other tribes do occur they should be interesting.

Seitz illustrates only the ^ upperside, but Distant's and Corbet's figures of the underside (the latter specimen taken by me in Johore) well show the much more ochreous fore wing of the subspecies and the wider postdiscal black bars below vein 4 on the hind wing. The fore wing cell-end bar is again prominent, and the tails are more heavily black-centred. The fore wing length is 17-20 mm. Little or nothing is known of the species from the whole of the 60,000 sq. miles of the southern third of Sumatra. There is one female specimen, very large (fore wing 24 mm.) and well marked, from Gunong Talang, Padang Bovenlanden ; ex colls. Van der Poll and Adams (a mountain exceeding 8,500 ft. which lies about 20 miles inland from Padang ; ioo|° E, i° S).

An euphonic derivative of Cheritra, Ritra is of feminine gender. The characteristics of this genus and species have already been discussed. Fruhstorfer described three subspecies as distinct from the nominal one. The senior, volumnia, is sound, but it is with some hesitancy that cuprea is retained separately, and likewise that panowa is upheld apart from aurea. Fruhstorfer's collection passed to the B.M. (N.H.), but his unique female type of panowa is not there, nor is one female from his type-series of cuprea, nor his single Perak volumnia male. It is noticed that each of these was illustrated by Seitz, and it would seem that the originals for all Seitz' illustrations were kept separately. 98 C. F. COWAN The hind wing postdiscal black band follows parallel geographical subspeciation to that of Cheritra. In Sumatra and Malaya it is relatively narrow and disjointed ; in Borneo broad and solid. It is interesting that R. aurea is found in Palawan but not further east. It thus overlaps C. orpheus, which there reaches its western limit. Ritra aurea cuprea (Fruhstorfer) comb. n. Ritra aurea (H.

Malaya. Seitz' illustration of the male upperside is good. Fruhstorfer's description from one Perak male and some Sumatran specimens starts with the phrase " almost double the size of aurea from Borneo ". He must have had an extreme dwarf of the latter. He then gave two features ; the upperside of all wings was somewhat darker and more strongly metallic (in the male) ; and the black postdiscal band on the underside of the hind wing was much narrower than in Borneo. Both these points are equally valid for Sumatran and Malayan specimens as compared to the majority of Bornean ones. The males furthermore tend to be slightly more purple-shot in certain lights. The fore wing length is 20-24 mm. Corbet (1956 : 347) said that he had seen one Malayan male specimen without the fore wing brand. He gave no data, and it has not been possible to trace it. The size of the brand varies appreciably, but no examples have been seen where it even approaches obsolescence. B.M. (N.H.). 3 & i ?, MALAYA.

Seitz' illustration shows the underside postdiscal black band to be unusually wide, thus reducing the width of the two white ones referred to by Fruhstorfer. But one can hardly agree with his repeated reference to the underside of aurea as brown ; it is grey in all subspecies. Females often have slight terminal fulvous suffusion at the fore wing termen, and when males are viewed against the light a slight orange flush is apparent by transparency. Ritra aurea aurea (H.

The original male was faithfully described and figured upperside, but the colour below was called " sooty brown " instead of mid-grey. This may have misled Fruhstorfer. The male specimen here illustrated is typically marked but the fore wing upperside patches of modified scales cover rather smaller than average areas. These patches are often large and dark, but the dark appearance is probably due to age and wear. The female is often described as coppery above. This is misleading, as it is in no way metallic. It is dull orange-brown with dark brown borders round each wing. Seitz gives a good illustration of a female with rather narrow borders. The fore wing length is 21-25 mm., but throughout Borneo individuals as small as 17 mm. are not infrequent. Palawan specimens also are rather small. Moulton says the female is rather the commoner. That this is not so in collections is probably due, in the case oifreja and others as well as aurea, to the greater beauty, and freshness, of the male, and the selectiveness of the collector. In a total of about 4 years in Malaya I caught but one aurea, a female, and certainly found the female freja the more frequent. This species was another of those first found by Sir Hugh Low. B.M.
