6 CTCLOPHORID.5:. 



Grodwin-Austen (I. c.) states that he found in Nevill's MS. copy 

 of the 'Hand List' the varieties giyantea and alhida — no 

 description of either is given— the former from Port Blair and 

 the latter from the same locality as well as from the " Brothers." 



The species is now illustrated for the first time from a specimen 

 in the British Museum.
