I originally regarded this as a new species, but have just received Dr. Melichar’s 
paper on the genus which he has recently published. As, however, my description is 
rather fuller and perhaps based on fresher specimens than were before Dr. Melichar, 
I have let it stand, of course using his specific name. His type was from “ N. Guinea 
S.E., Paumoma River”; the transverse fasciee which he describes are only indicated in 
two specimens of our series, and then only by one of the two he refers to—a_ basal 
im one specimen, a discal in another.
