 additions given in this paper, the genus Batocera should, 

 be composed of the following species and varieties : 



Adelpha Thorns. — Assam. 



Aeneonigra Thorns. — Ternate , Halmaheira , Morty , 



Waigiou.

 tallescens Pasc). — Celebes.

1) 1 regard this species only as a variety of albofasciata with strongly re- 

 duced white band along the sides of the undersurface. 



2) Thomson mistook this species for the Fabrician species , some time after- 

 wards perceiving his error he rebaptized it Fabricii, but in the mean time 

 VoUenhoven had described the same insect under the name of Megacriodes 



guttata. 



3) The Batocera from Menado (N. Celebes) described and figured by Bois- 

 duval under the name of octomaeulata Fabr. must be referred to Cekbiana Thoms. 



4) This species 1 believe to be only a local variety of Celebiana Thoms.
