lylST OF, AND NOTES ON, THE PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED SPECIES OF 



Pselliophora.^ 



ardens, W., <f 9 . Type ( 9 ), Java, in Westermann's col- 

 lection in the Vienna Museum, in which institution there are seven 

 specimens from Lombok, representing both sexes. The & does 

 not appear to have been previously recorded. It is in ever}^ way 

 similar to the $ except for the sexual characters of antennae and 

 genitalia, both of which are wholly black, the latter very large 

 and conspicuous. 



nigrithorax, Meij. (1904). Bijd, tot. de Dierk., xvii, 87, & 5 . 



Prof Meij ere notes that the description offered was drawn up 

 by Van der Wulp. The cf is from Tjibodas Gede, and the $ from 

 Sakabumi (both Java). Types in Amsterdam Museum. 



compedita, W., (f (?), 2 . Java. 



Type in Westermann's collection from Java. Van der Wulp 

 notes (Notes Leyd. Mus. , vi, 25) three & cf that he considers 

 belong to this species, though they differ from Wiedemann s des- 

 cription of the 9 . They are from Haroeka, Celebes and (?) Aru. 



rubra, Os. Sac, <f . The unique & in the Berlin Museum is 

 from Laos, Siam, taken by Mouhot. 



stigmatica, Meij. (1904). Bijd. tot. de Dierk., xvii, 88, $ , pi. 

 viii, I (full insect, coloured). 



One 9 from Lahago, Central Nias Island. Meij ere adds some 

 notes respecting its position in the genus. Type in Amsterdam 

 Museum. 



curvipes, Wulp, 2 . " Closeh^ allied to compedita;'^ hind 

 tibiae arcuate. Type (a single 9 from Gorontalo) in the Leyden 

 Museum. 



fuscipcnnis, Mcq., cf 9 . 



Ctenophora javanica, Dol. 



Described originallj^ (erroneously) from '' Brazil," OstenSacken 

 (Berl. Ent. Zeit., xxx, 172) doubted it being a South American 

 species, and having subsequently (V. d. Wulp Cat., p. 36) seen the 

 type in Bigot's collection, found it labelled " Java " and identical 

 with C. javanica, Dol. Van der Wulp was the first to describe 

 the 9 and observes that in this sex the antennae appear a little 

 serrulated, by the slight dilation of the joints of the flagellum on 

 the under side. From Java (in the woods round Djocjokata, and 

 at Ardjoeno). 



gaudcns, Wlk., & 9 . The type cf and 9 , with another 

 9 (from Makessar) , are in the British Museum. The Vienna Museum 

 has two cf cf from S. Celebes. A variable species, as indeed many 

 of the PselUophorae appear to be. 



chrysophila, Wlk. $ . Incorrectly quoted chrysopila by Van 

 der Wulp. Type ( 2 ) in British Museum, from Singapore, in good 

 condition, and apparently the only specimens seen since are two 



• All the earlier species were described under Ctenophora, but it seems un- 

 necessary to emphasize this point here after each species.
