The description is based on a specimen in very poor condition 

 preserved in the Indian Museum^ originally referred by Pocock, on 

 the suggestion of Meinert, to Himantarium indicuni and sub- 

 sequently taken by the same author as type of Himantosoma 

 typicum. I have seen another specimen from Orissa and one from 

 Sumatra : Si Rambe, which present little difference from H. typi- 

 cum, and are considered for the present as varieties.
