PANORPATA AND PLANIPENNIA, 199 
NOTE XXI. 
ON PANORPATA AND PLANIPENNIA 
COLLECTED IN WESTERN JAVA 
BY 
Dr. H. W, VAN DER WEELE, 
At my arrival in Buitenzorg, at the end of April 1909, 
the dry season just commenced and this being the less 
favourable period for insect-collecting, I obtained but few 
specimens. Later on I perceived that this country is much 
poorer in regard to these groups than Europe, so that my 
collections only increased from time to time with some spare 
examples. Panorpata and Planipennia are very rare 
here, much rarer than in Europe, and they were found 
nowhere abundant, so that their economic importance is 
still more insignificant and their appearance in the tropics 
proportionally muck rarer. 
Panorpata. 
Panorpa miilleri Weele, Notes Leyden Mus. XXXI, p. 6 
(1909). 
I collected on a hot day in January 1910, on Mount 
Malabar, Pengalengan, Western Java, at an altitude of 
about 5100 feet, four specimens (1 { and 3 QQ) of a 
form most closely related to the typical mulleri, but the 
black crossband of the wings is very narrow and in the 
o'-specimen the left hindwing has the same pattern as in 
mülleri ungaranensis Weele (l. c. p. 7). 
Its habits do not differ very much from those of the 
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXXII.
