Rh Proboscis with a broad yellowish-white band in the middle. Legs brown, with small yellow basal rings and a small white band at the apex of the femora. Head brown, covered with creamy-brown curved scales and a pale border round the eyes and upright brown forked scales.

Fore ungues of $ unequal, the larger uniserrated, the smaller simple.

Length of ? 5 mm. ; of <J 5 mm.

Habitat. Quilon, Travancore; Madras; Calcutta, and North- West Provinces.

Observations. Very like the next species, only darker, rather larger, and the head all pale instead of with two black patches as in C. Vishnui. The $ ungues also differ.

Thorax brown, with fawn coloured scales, two more or less distinct median lines and a thin central one formed by a row of bristles. Abdo- men deep brown, basally banded with pale yellow, some of the apical segments with a narrow row of apical yellow scales as well. Legs brown, tarsi darker, narrowly basally banded with yellow ; ungues of ? equal and simple. Head with dark lateral patches. Male fore ungues, unequal, both uniserrated.

Length of ? 3 to 4'5 mm. ; of <$ 3 to 4 mm.

Habitat. Quilon ; Sambalpur ; Punjaub ; Madras ; Dacca ; Ceylon.

Observations. Resembling the former, but easily told by the paler hue and head ornamentation, as well as the $ ungues. Evidently a common southern form. Not so far recorded from Northern India.

Thorax dark brown, covered with pale golden curved scales. Abdo- men covered with dusky-brown scales, with basal white bands. Legs brown, the mid and hind legs with a pale band involving both sides of the tibio-metatarsal joint; tarsal banding basal. Bases of fork-cells nearly level.

Length. ? 4'5 mm.

Habitat. N.W. Provinces ; Calcutta ; Perak.

Observations. Closely related to C. microannulatus, but easily told by the tibio-metatarsal banding.
