  26. 
  Hypharpax 
  lateralis,

  Wied. 
  (Zool. 
  Mag. 
  ii, 
  1, 
  1823, 
  54). 
  Hope 
  has 
  given 
  a 
  

   figure 
  of 
  the 
  <^ 
  (Col. 
  Man. 
  ii, 
  1838, 
  t. 
  2, 
  f. 
  3). 
  It 
  was 
  no 
  

   doubt 
  the 
  different 
  appearance 
  of 
  the 
  sexes, 
  which 
  led 
  

   Macleay 
  to 
  describe 
  the 
  $ 
  as 
  Aynara 
  tricolor 
  (see 
  above). 
  

   Redtenbacher 
  described 
  the 
  species 
  again 
  (Reis. 
  Novar. 
  

   Zool. 
  ii, 
  Col. 
  1867, 
  14, 
  t. 
  1, 
  f. 
  7) 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  Sagrae- 
  

   merus 
  javanus, 
  and 
  further 
  remarks 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  on 
  

   it 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Veth 
  (Tijds. 
  v. 
  Ent. 
  liii, 
  1910, 
  305). 
  The 
  genus 
  

   extends 
  to 
  Australia, 
  and 
  has 
  been 
  discussed 
  by 
  Chaudoir 
  

   (Ann. 
  Mus. 
  Civ. 
  Gen. 
  xii, 
  1878, 
  496) 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Sloane 
  (Proc. 
  

   Linn. 
  Soc. 
  N.S.W. 
  1898, 
  456). 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  apparently 
  

   confined 
  to 
  Java. 
  

  

  27. 
  Anaulacus 
  sericipennis. 
  Figured 
  on 
  the 
  plate 
  (t. 
  1, 
  

   f. 
  4). 
  Both 
  this 
  and 
  the 
  succeeding 
  genus 
  are 
  very 
  closely 
  

   allied 
  to 
  Dejean's 
  genus 
  Masoreus 
  (Spec. 
  Gen. 
  iii, 
  1828, 
  

   536) 
  : 
  further 
  remarks 
  on 
  it 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  by 
  Schaum 
  

   (Berl. 
  Ent. 
  Zeit. 
  1863, 
  76), 
  and 
  Chaudoir 
  also 
  discusses 
  it 
  

   m 
  his 
  " 
  liltude 
  monographique 
  des 
  Masoreides, 
  etc." 
  (Bull. 
  

   Mosc. 
  1876, 
  iii, 
  12 
  and 
  25). 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  no 
  other 
  example 
  

   of 
  the 
  species, 
  of 
  which 
  I 
  will 
  give 
  some 
  further 
  description.
