The discovery of a new species of Diploptera is very interest- 

 ing as so far only two species of this genus had been known, 

 viz., D. dytiscoides Serville, first described from Australia as 

 long ago as 1839, and since recorded also from Ceylon, Burma, 

 the Malay Peninsula, Singapore, Sarawak, the Philippines, 

 Burn, Honolulu and Tahiti, and D. minor Brunner, which 

 seems peculiar to the Philippines.
