joints of the antennae, those of (' (ìrstroi are very short and 

 gradually thickened towards the apex, that is if the specimens 

 before me are really the females of C. Gestroi. Of C. borneoemis, 

 a single male S})eciraen from Si-Rambé was likewise obfciined 

 by Dr. Modigliani.

 specimens, obtained at Pea Ragia, Lago Toba, Balighe , and 

 Dol. Tarabugna etc. agree entirely witli Motschulsky's description 

 of his type from I)irmah , but as AVeise lias rightly remarked,
