Genus LARISCUS, Thomas and Wroughton, 1909. 



Proc. Znol. Hoc. London, 1909, p. 389. 



With the exception of L. hosei, which on account of its brilliant and 

 striking colouration and the possession of four stripes on the back has 

 strong claims to be regarded as specifically distinct, we have arranged 

 all the races of this genus as subspecies of the original " Sciurns insignis, 

 F. Cuv. " from Sumatra. All are closely allied to each other though it 

 might be possible and convenient to regard L. niobe (Thomas) and 

 javanus (Thomas and Wrought.) and possibly rostratus and obscurus, 

 which we have not seen, as belonging to a different specific group.
