2. Ll. BICOLOR var. VICINUS (Percheron). 
Localtty.— Andamans: Port Blair. 
Several specimens, varying from about 14-28 mm. in length. 
The smallest specimen resembles the smallest of the preceding 
form, except that the single long hair behind each antennae is much 
shorter, though relatively stout, and is associated with a cluster 
of small spinules or bacilli. Large larvae differ from this speci- 
men only in the loss of the hairs above the two front pairs of legs 
(though these do not appear to be lost so quickly as in the pre- 
ceding form), and in the replacement of the pair of hairs behind 
the last pair of legs and of all the ventral pairs of hairs on the 
abdomen by short bacilli. The hairs and groups of spinules be- 
hind the antennae are not lost, and the dorsal pairs of hairs on 
the thoracic segments are not developed. 
LUCANIDAE. 
Several descriptions of Lucanid larvae have appeared since 
the publication of Chapuis and Candéze’s catalogue (Wem. Soc. R. 
Sci. Liége, VIII, 1853, Lucanidae, pp. 468-470). In the following 
list of the references I have been able to trace those not available 
in Calcutta are marked with an asterisk (*), as I have not been 
able to use them.
