SPECIES OF THE SUB-FAMILY LANGORIIDES 



CONTAINED IN THE CIVIC MUSEUM OF GENOA 



BY REV. H. S. GORHAM F. Z. S. 



The following is an account of a largo collection of Languriides 

 in the Genoa Civic Museum sent to me for determination by 

 Dr. Gestro , who at the same time very obligingly entrusted to 

 me many of the types of Harold's descriptions. Without these it 

 would have been a very uncertain matter to refer them to the 

 genera I have endeavoured to form, for careful and analytical 

 as Baron Von Harold's descriptions undoubtedly are, he has not 

 attempted to group the species by the same characters that I 

 have adopted. The numerous species in the East with red tho- 

 races and red or black heads, and red or black bodies, apart 

 from the characters given in the diagnosis of the genera are 

 very perplexing ; but with their aid, the uncertainty is, I ven- 

 ture to hope, reduced to very narrow limits. 



A paper on the fine collection made by Herr Dohrn in Su- 

 matra will appear almost simultaneously at Stettin and we 

 shall now have a fair knowledge of the species of this subfamily 

 occurring in the Malayan archipelago.
