 Habitat in insula Javana ? 



The above species I described from the rich collection of 

 Monsieur Dupont at Paris, and although the locality mentioned 

 is the island of Java, I am inclined to suspect its true locality is 

 Manilla, as one specimen in the Parisian cabinet is labelled from 

 thence ; its range however may be equally extensive with other 

 Coleoptera of the east.

Habitat circa Singapore. 



A variety of this species, in M. Dupont's collection at Paris, I 

 named Calanus. As I have since seen many other varieties, the 

 latter must be abandoned, as there cannot exist a doubt of its 

 identity with aiireolus. The above species is named aureolus in 

 Griffiths' " Animal Kingdom," and was figured from a specimen in 

 my cabinet ; the locality, according to Dupont, is Java, which is 

 probably erroneous. Some individuals I have received from the 

 Tenasserim coast.
