Extract

The specimens described in this paper were collected in Assam by Dr M. L. Roonwal during World War II, and were sent to me for identification by Dr S. L. Hora, Director, Zoological Survey of India.

I am grateful to Prof. H. R. Mehra, Professor of Zoology, Allahabad University, for his able guidance, to Dr Hora for sending me the material and to Dr Charles D. Radford for his opinion on the species described in this paper.
