Hirmoneura philippina adds another link in the chain of evi- 
dence of a former strong connection between Australia and the 
Asiatic continent through the Philippines and Formosa. I have 
little doubt that other species, perhaps in other genera of this 
interesting and little-known family will be found, not only in 
Mindanao, but likewise in northern Luzon, perhaps in the moun- 
tainous regions.
