NOTE XXIV. 

 ON THE PUPA OF ALLOTOPUS ROSENBERGII (VOLL.) 



(COLEOPTERA : LUCANIDAE) 



BY 



C. RITSEMA Cz. 



(Plate 1, figs. 3 and 4). 



Some weeks ago I received frooi Mr. J. D. Pasteur at 

 Batavia the pupa of the male (forma maxima) of the above 

 quoted interesting stag-beetle, which I thought worthy to 

 be figured in the » Notes". 



I received the specimen with the following annotation : 

 »The pupa of AUotopus Rosenbergii (Voll.) 1 send here- 

 with to you was found by me at Toegoe (West Java) in 

 the mouldered trunk of a long since unrooted forest-tree, 

 which in Western Java is called »Kajoe Pasang." Accord- 

 ing to Mr. Wigman, Horticulturist of the Botanical 

 Gardens at Buitenzorg, Kajoe Pasang is the collective 

 name for the different species of Javanese oaks (Quercus).''
