own with them. At the time I considered them distinct, 
but the acquisition of further material both from India and 
Indo-China leads me to think that we have in reality to do 
with one species only. I have dissected examples from 
Tonkin and Calcutta, and find all the buccal organs—rather 
variable in this genus—to be exactly similar. The mentum 
has rounded lobes, with two setz in the emargination ; the 
ligula is narrow, dilated at apex, and separated by a very 
slight notch from the paraglosse, which are unusually long 
and narrow, extending far beyond ligula, and fringed on the 
inner side with minute sete; the mandibles are edentate, 
the left one slightly dilated on inner margin at middle. 
Bates indicated that in this species the head was much 
larger in the ? than in the ¢—I am not able to confirm 
this. 
Dejean’s type was believed to come from the ‘Indes 
Orientales.”” Chaudoii’s specimen came from Chusan, 
Mr. Lesne’s from Siam, and Bates records examples from 
Palon in Burma, Osaka in Japan, and Mytho in Cochin- 
China. This last specimen is nowin Mr. Fleutiaux’s collection, 
along with others from Saigon, Vinh-long, and Long Xuyen 
(Dorr), all in Cochin-China, and from Cho-Ganh in Tonkin 
(Duport). Myr. R. Vitalis de Salvaza has lately taken it at 
Quang-Yen in Tonkin, Muong Pek in Laos, and Pnomh- 
Penh in Cambodia. In the British Museum there are ex- 
amples from India and Java; in the Brussels Museum from 
Lao Kay in Tonkin and Mt. Oengaran in Central Java 
(A. Koller); in the Paris Museum from Cochin-China 
(Harmand), Hanoi in Tonkin (Dr. Wiet and V. Laboissiére), 
China (Callery), and Java ; and in the Indian Museum from 
Kashmir (H. 7. Pease), Calcutta, Birbhum and Murshidabad 
in Bengal, and Bangalore in Mysore.

I may add to the description of the author that the lobes 
of the mentum are bluntly poimted at apex, and that there 
are two long setze at the middle of the sinus ; the lhgula is 
very narrow, dilated at apex, with a deep notch between it 
and the paraglossz ; the left mandible has a deep indentation 
on the inner margin, the right one a blunt tooth. 
Described by its author from Siam and Java, this species 
has since been recorded by Mr. Bouchard from Sumatra and 
Borneo. In Mr. Fleutiaux’s collection there are specimens
