Hab. Borneo. 



A description and figure (of the var. minor) of this species have 

 been ah-eady pubhshed by M. van Vollenhoven (loc. cit.) ; a second 

 description of it, accompanied by a figure of the var. max., will 

 probably not prove uninteresting. Numerous specimens of this 

 insect were sent to England by Mr. Wallace and distributed 

 among various collections. I may remark, that the black plagae, 

 both on the prothorax and body, are very variable, and in some 

 specimens totally wanting. Of males with fully developed man- 

 dibles but two or three were to be found, one of which is now 

 figured.

I am indebted to Count Mniszech for the description and figure 

 of the above ; it appears to be allied to the Bornean species 

 0. Brooheanus.
