1) 'Under this name there are two female indivdduals of this species in the 

 collection of Dejean; the name, I helieve, is moreovermentioned in his Catalogue. 

 Mr. Jekel knows the species to exist in several collections under the name of X. 

 Garnoti (Dejean in litt.). Weher has described {Obsero. Entom. 1801. p. 92) 

 a Xijlinades from Sumatra under the name of Nodicomis; his description is 

 however so incomplete that it is impossible to find out whether it is like the 

 present species or not; however, judging from certain characteristics, it seems 

 probable that this is a distinct species.
