In the collection of our Museum there are specimens of 

 this species from the Indian Archipelago (Celebes, Amboina, 

 Ceram and Java) and from the island of Nossi-Bé near 

 Madagascar, which entirely agree with one another. 

 The median furrow of the front however is never so nar- 

 row and small as has been figured by Milne Edwards 

 (1. c. pi. Ill, fig. 4). This species may be distinguished 

 at first sight by the characteristical shape of the larger 

 hand , and is distributed throughout the ludo-Pacific Re- 

 gion from Zanzibar to Hongkong and the Fiji Islands.
