Queensland; one specimen (coll. Lucas). If really 

 Snellen's species, also from Celebes and Java. I believe 

 that it is so ; but Snellen unaccountably refers it to 

 Ccenostola, whereas it is an undoubted Paraponyx ; his 

 description is insufficient for the unusually complex 

 markings of this species, and his figure is also very 

 poor ; I have therefore redescribed the species to avoid 

 misapprehension.
