XXXII. — On the Geographical Distribution of the Genus 

 Perionjx. By Dr. LuiGi CoGNETTi de Maktiis, R. Museo 

 Zoologico, Torino. 



In a paper recently published in this Journal* I gave a 

 description of a new species of Ferionyx from Shoe Island, 

 near the Auckland Island, and I mentioned that the 

 genus Ferionyx " was only known from the Philippine 

 and Sunda l:<lands, from the Indian Empire, Himalaya 

 (11,U0U'), Ceylon, and Madagascar." Prof. W. Michaelsen, 

 of the Museum of Hamburg, has recently f made a revision 

 of this geims, including in it the genus Ferionychella % and 

 a species from the Auckland Island which Prof. W. B. 

 Benham, of the University of Otago, described § under the 

 name of Diporochoita perionychopsis. By the addition of 

 these species the geographical distribution of the genus 

 Ferionyx is of course greatly amplified. To the localities 

 mentioned in my paper there must be added : — North Queens- 

 land, Victoria, Tasmania, and Auckland Islands.
