310 APPENDIX. PELOGONIDJE. 



P. spasmce, Waterh., found on the Bat Megaderma spasma, L., 

 from Java, may be perhaps a larval stage of P. talpa ; should this 

 be proved by specimens found later, the much older name given by 

 Waterhouse has priority. 



Speiser considers that the above-mentioned specimen, found by 

 Dr. Annandale, proves that the Polyctenidae may now be placed in 

 close affinity with the Cimicidae (vol. ii, p. 410).
