5. rtibro-guttatus Wood-Mason belongs to 5". cornictiliini ; which consequently is found at least 

 in the more western part of the Indian Ocean. 5. cor7ticuhim Kr., which was established on 

 specimens in the Mastigoptis-stdt.ge from the tropical Atlantic, is common at least in the northern 

 subtropical area of that ocean, and judging from its Mastigopus it is known from lat. 42° N. 

 to lat. 30° S. In 1896 I wrote that I had seen specimens of S. corniculum from the Indian 

 Ocean and ranging into the Pacific to the Matelota island and to lat. i6°7o'N., long. 132° E.; 

 these specimens were either Mastigoptis-iorm.?, or quite young animals with black eyes, but as 

 the adult males from the "Siboga" belong to the hitherto unknown species S. semimidus, and 

 as I think it nearly impossible to separate young specimens or Jlfastigopzfs-stages of this species 

 from those of S. corniculum^ the statements quoted on the distribution in the Indian Ocean 

 and the Pacific show only the distribution of this tribe consisting of two species, and at least 

 the major part or perhaps nearly all of the specimens in question belong in all probability to 

 5". seniinudus.
