rXEROPUS NEOIilBERNlCUS, 



specimens of Pt. neohibernicus, none is precisely as dark-backed as, 

 but several closely approach, the single specimen examined of 

 Pt. papuanus. It is not improbable that a completer material of 

 this latter form will prove it to be only subspeciflcally distinguish- 

 able from Ft. neoJiibeniicus.
