184 THE BRENTHID^ FROM JAVA. 



Geii, Mfiurus Pascoe. 



35. JD. antennatus Ritsema, Notes from the Leyden Mu- 

 seum, Vol. IV, p. 214. 1882. 



I have not seen this species; the type is a male in the 

 Leyden Museum. 



36. J>. forcipatus Westwood, The Cabinet of Orient. 

 Entom. p. 31. 1848. 



This species occurs also in Borneo where it has been col- 

 lected by Marquis Doria. 



37. -D. furcillatus Gylh. , in Schönh., Genera et Spec. 

 Curcul. I, p. 359. 1840. 



This species inhabits Java and the other Sunda islands. 



NOTE. In this list the whole number of Javanese spe- 

 cies of Brenthidae, known to me at this moment , amounts 

 to 37, belonging to 13 genera. The examination of these 

 genera and species is instructive and gives the opportunity 

 to make some general remarks. 



Amongst the 9 families living in the Oriental Region, 6 

 are represented in Java, and of these that of the Tracheli- 

 zince is the richest, containing 14 species; then follow the 

 Arrhenodince , Ceocephalince , Ithystemnce , Eutrachelince and 

 Amorphocephalince. Very interesting is the want of the 7a- 

 phroderince , Ephebocerince and Belophorince in this island. 



The genus Cyphagogus f. i. , of which the species are 

 so numerous , extends in the Austro-Malayan , Indo-Chinese 

 and Indo-Malayan subregions (Borneo) and has also a 

 representative in Japan : the genus Zemioses inhabits Japan, 

 Karennee, New-Guinea; these two genera seem not to be 

 represented in Java. 



The absence of Jonthocerus amongst the Ephehocerince and 

 of Ectocemus amongst the Belophorinm is also remarkable. 

 The first mentioned genus is widely distributed and has 

 been collected also in Sumatra and Borneo (Sarawak) ; the 

 second extends to New-Guinea, Australia, Borneo, Suma- 

 tra, Malacca, Karennee and the Philippine Islands.
