Cladognathus cinctus, Montrousier, Faune de I'lle de Wood- 

 lark, p. 27, 

 This species is also, according to Mr. Wallace, found in the 

 Islands of New Guinea, Ki and Arou, and must be considered as 

 very questionably distinct from C, B'tson, differing in having the 

 ibur posterior femora entirely black beneath, and the anterior with 

 a small rufous spot, whereas in C. Bison the rufous patch exists 

 on all the femora ; in other respects they a])pcar to be closely allied. 

 I am not acquainted with a fully developed specimen ; those in 

 the collection of Mr. Wallace, and my own, being medium varieties.
