NOTE X. 

 A NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS ICHTHYURUS 



BY 



Dr. R. GESTRO. 



At the request of Mr. Ritsema I give here the descrip- 

 tion of a new Ichthyurus from Eastern Java, belonging 

 to the collections of the Ley den Museum. 



The species of Ichthyurus at present known as inhabit- 

 ing the island of Java are very few in number, and 1 

 have to thank Mr. Ritsema for entrusting me with the 

 study of a very remarkable form of this highly interesting 

 genus of Malacodermidae.

 dilutiorihus; capite inter oculos profunde longitudinaliter fo- 

 veato , antentiis 9~articulatis , articulis 2 — 4 dilatatis , siib- 

 hyalinis , fusco-marginatis , extus ciliatis , pedihus- gracilibus ,
