ADDITIONAL REMARKS ON 

 CLADOPALPUS HAGENI, LANSB. 



J. R. H. NEERVOORT van de POLL. 



My assistant Mr. J. Z, Kannegieter, who is travelling 

 in the Malay Archipelago , has had the good fortune , when 

 collecting in the interior of Bedagei (Deli, East Sumatra), 

 to obtain a cf and a 9 specimen of the above named inte- 

 resting Longicorn , of which as yet only two male speci- 

 mens were known , one from Serdang (Deli) in the Leyden 

 Museum collection and an other from Mount Ardjoeno 

 (East Java) in the collection of Mr. van Lansberge which 

 is now in Mr. Oberthür's possession. 



The knowledge of the 9 sex is the more important as 

 it shows that the extraordinary structure of the maxillary 

 palpi is only a character of the male sex. Nevertheless the 

 female palpi are still very remarkable for its length and 

 robust although ordinary structure , the last joint is elongate- 

 triangular, and finely pubescent. 



Moreover the female differs from the male in being somewhat 

 larger and broader , chiefly its elytra , which are more 

 strongly overreaching the hinder thighs and more broadly 

 rounded at the tip ; the prothorax is somewhat more remotely 

 punctured and therefore more shining on the disc; the 

 antennae are proportionally slightly shorter ; the last ventral 

 segment is broadly rounded and the whole of the under- 

 surface finely and densely punctured , the sculpture of the 

 underside of the male (of which no mention is made in the
