LI.—On some new Species of Histeride. 
By G. Lewis, F.L.S. 
THE greater part of the species dealt with in this paper are 
contained in the collection of Mr. Fry, who has recently 
received them from Burmah, Perak, and Sumatra; but I 
have also included in it some descriptions of others which 
have come to me from other sources. ‘I'wo species are from 
Tasmania, taken by Mr. J. J. Walker during his visit last 
year, and there are three species found by myself in Japan 
and Ceylon. 
The genus Cylistix has hitherto been considered an 
American genus, and the occurrence of two species in Central 
Asia is a matter of much interest, and I believe there is a 
third in the Museum from the Andaman Islands. Having 
alluded to the distribution of Cylisttz, 1 may mention the 
curious fact that the genus //ister has as yet no representa- 
tive in either Australia or New Zealand, and if Mr. Walker 
fails to find any at Port Darwin or other places from which 
he at this time dates his letters, the negative evidence of 
their absence will be greatly increased. 
Last December, in the Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, I gave a 
list of the Histeride taken in Burmah by Signor Fea, 
amounting to about ninety species ; the Burmese fauna is added
