Crossotarsus fragmentus, Samp. 



Type was described from Singapore, and it has been 

 suggested by Strohmeyer (Gen. Insect. Wytsman, 1914. 

 p. 35) as probably the male (nee Chap.) of C. squamulatus 

 Chap., but long series of both sexes bred from Sundri wood 

 by the Imperial Forest Zoologist at Dehra Dun, India 

 (Dr. C. F. C. Beeson), show that the male is C. fractus 

 Samp., which therefore sinks. The present species has been 

 received from Java, Andaman Is.. (Dr. Sharpe), and Borneo 

 (Prof. Baker). A small vai'iety of this species has just 

 been received from the Philippine Is., and will be described 

 with the other Plafypodidap of that locality. 



Crossotarsus (Platypus) omnivorus. Lea. 



Described from Tasmania by A. ]\I. Lea, under the genus 

 Platyvus, and also taken in the Tlliwarra district, N.S.W. 

 by H. W. Cox, and I have purchased three specimens 

 labelled "Ivina Bahi, Borneo," one of which is a female. 



Although described as a Platypus, it has been placed 

 under "incertae sedis" by Strohmeyer, but from its similarity 

 to other described species, I am of opinion that it belongs 

 to the above genus and group. 



Since writing the above. Mr. W. Froggatt, Government 

 Entomologist, N.S.W., has kindly sent me specimens of 

 both sexes of this species found in "Brush log", Dorrigo. 

 N.S.W., and the Bornean examples agree with these in 

 every essential point. 



Genus Platypus Chaputs. 

 Group Platypi cupflati Chap. 



Platypus cupulatus. Chap. 



Recorded form Borneo by Chapuis, which locality, however, 

 is not given bv Strohmeyer who only mentions Molucca and 

 Sunda Is. ; other specimens are reported from Tenasserim, 

 Burma, Andaman Is., and Sumatra (teste Blandford.) 



Type in the British Museum.
