Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Singapore (Birch — coll. Dist.). 



This species is allied to the Javan T. horsjit'ldii and to an undescribed Boruean species, 

 and is extremely interesting as being the first representative of the genus recorded from the 

 Peninsula. It was caught by J. K. Birch, Esq., who captured it whilst flying along a road 

 in Smgapore. He wrote to me at the time, " Seeing it was a strange one, I knocked it down 

 with a stick," thus not only securing an undescribed species, but also, for the first time, 

 proving that the genus Toiarix is found in the Malay Peninsula.
