SOME REMARKS UPON CERTAIN SPECIES

I have had already for a few years a female Coryphocera 

 from North-Palawan (Dr. Platen) , which I regarded as 

 belonging to versicolor. Not long ago I got also a male 

 from South-Palawan and an other female from the small 

 island Balabac (near the southern extremity of Palawan) , 

 both collected by Mr. Waterstradt , and as the above 

 material happened to be not yet incorporated in the col- 

 lection , the receipt of Dr. Heller's paper induced me to 

 bring all my specimens together for a more close examination. 



My Palawan and Balabac specimens agree well enough 

 with the description and figures of Schadenbergi^ however 

 their elytral sculpture is less distinct and the dentiform
