The individuals of Cephoiiocles recorded as li;/las from the larger Siuida 

 Islands belong to jjicus ; no individual of ht/las has so far been found, to our 

 knowledge, in the Malayan District proper. This is certainly very remarkable, as 

 the insect is common in North Australia, India, China, Japan, and Africa. See 

 Celerio lineata.
