It is doubtful whether any one can settle the ques- 

 tion of "PenxHS relutinus"; whether it is a Meta- 

 peneus of the akayehi ijroup, or a Trachypeneus. 



The "Challenger'" duplicates presented to the 

 Indian Museum as P. relntiiius include two very dis- 

 tinct species ; namely, a stridulating form identical 

 Iwith an Indian species named by Wood !Masou P. 

 striihdans ; and a species, the male of which has a 

 I peculiarly unsymmetrical andricum, identical with | 

 Miss Rathbun's P. mogieiuis. According to Miss 

 Rathbun the ('hallenger duplicates afford yet ano- 

 ther species — the P. velutinus of Kishinouj'o — which 

 may be Dana's P. velutiitus, but is named bj- Miss 



l^Riitlibun P. alwyvhi. J
