Gayella pulchella, Sm. Journ. Proc. Linn. Soc, Zool. ii. 1857, p. 108. 



Smith's species, described from Borneo, is certainly not a 

 Gayella. The only two known species of Gayella are both 

 from Chile.

 Montezumia bisulcata, Cameron, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) vol. vi. 

 p. 585 (1900). 



Camerou^s species from Khasia is indistinguishable from 

 M. burmanica , which ranges through to China. 



Cameron says " allied to M. burmanica, Bingh.," but gives 

 no points of difference.
