be some inaccuracy here, as the males before us, though 

 aoreeing closely in other respects, have the strongly incurved 

 cerci bidentate distad and, though unarmed ventrad, bearing 

 mesad on the dorso-external margin a stout, uncinate tooth, 

 directed caudad. A 9 from Dutch N. Borneo in the collection 

 of Buitenzorg Museum agrees perfectly with Dohrn's descrip- 

 tion of M. pictipes, whilst a cf from the same locality has 

 the cerci as described by Hebard. Thus I am not quite 

 sure whether the two species are different, or the description 

 of Brongniart's 9 3,nd that of Dohrn's cf is inadequate. In 

 every case, my 9 of ^I- varipes differs from Brongniart's 

 description by the shape of subgenital plate, coming nearer 

 to M. pictipes in this character. But the shape of this plate 

 is also not the same as in the M. pictipes 9 of Buitenzorg 

 Museum (fig. 8). M. varipes differs, moreover, also by its 

 much shorter ovipositor and by the pale sterna. The ovipositor 

 seems not to be mutilated in the only specimen before me, 

 but it should be possible that it were a character of less 

 specific value, because the ovipositor may perhaps be a 

 legenerate in consequence of a mutilation during the larval 

 stage. In the collection of Buitenzorg INIuseum there is also a 

 9 of M. acroxiphus from Dutch N. Borneo agreeing in all 

 other characters entirely with the true M. pictipes and differ- 

 ing thereby from M. varipes, but having the ovipositor not 

 longer than this latter species.
