106 Lt.-Col. Winn Sampson on 



Crossotarsus wollastoni, Chap., ? (lege £). Borneo. 



Amongst the specimens of this species taken in Sarawak 

 (Quop) is one that may be the female (nee Chap.), but 

 further material is necessary before deciding the question. 



Crossotarsus squamulatus, Chap., <$ (lege ? ). Java. 



Hitherto only taken in Java, but now captured by 

 Mr. Bryant at Penang and Sarawak (Quop). 



Herr Strohmeyer suggests that C.fragmentus, Samp., may 

 be the male of this species. My type, now in the British 

 Museum, was described from a Singapore specimen, and 

 since then I have received a long series of both sexes bred 

 by Mr. C. F. C. Beeson, Imperial Forest Zoologist, Dehra 

 Dun, from Sundri Wood, the females of which agree with 

 Chapuis's type in the British Museum ; but if my species is 

 the male, then C. squamulatus, Chap., must be transferred 

 to the group subdepressi from the coleoptrati. 



As regards Strohmeyer's further suggestion, that C.fractus, 

 Samp., may be the male of C. venustus, Chap., he has over- 

 looked the fact that Mr. Blanford described the male of this 

 species twenty-four years ago (Aun. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, 

 vol. xv., April 1895, p. 324). 



Genus Platypus, Chap. 

 Platypus perrisi, Chap., c? ? (lege ? J). Borneo, Malacca. 

 Further specimens from Sarawak (Mt. Matang) and a 

 female from Penang. 



Platypus westwoodi, Chap., ? (lege J). Borneo. 



One male from Penang, also a single female from Sarawak 

 (Mt. Matang) that is probably the undescribed female of 

 this species or P. siynatus, Chap. 



Platypus solidus, Walk. Ceylon, India, Sunda Is. 



Two specimens from Penang. 

 Platypus pilifrons, Chap., <$ . India and Indian Archipelago. 



One example from Penang. 



Chapuis considered this to be the male (lege ? ) of 

 P. solidus Walk. Herr Strohmeyer has not mentioned this 

 species in his fascicule in the ' Genera Insectorum/ although 

 it is placed in the group Platypi Oxyuri .in his list of the 

 Platypodidie (Coleopt. Catalog. W. Junk, 20, vi. 1912, 

 p. 17).
