The ordinary form of this species appears to differ 

 from the Fijian form described by me in having the sub- 

 marginal markings connected to form a hand instead of 

 separate spots, but 1 now regard this as only local 

 variation. The generic characters given by me at the 

 head of this species are therefore referable to Pterygisus, 

 with the correction that the maxillary palpi should he 

 stated as very short, rudimentary. 



Queensland: two specimens (coll. Lucas). Also from 

 Fiji, Celebes, Java. Ceylon, India, and Madagascar.
