Very similar to Platypus indicus, Strom., which was first 

 described as belonging to the group P. sulcati, Chap., but in 

 the same author's 'Catalogue of the Platypodidse ' is placed 

 as "incerice sedis," although it would appear to be a Crosso- 

 tursus of the group C. subdepressus, Chap. It may be here 

 ])ointed out that there seems to have been some error in 

 the jdacing of the male type label on the specimen in the 

 collection of Mr. H. E. Andrewes, as the one so named is an 

 undoubted female, of which sex Herr Stromeyer gives no 

 description. In the same collection there is a label (but not 

 a type one) in the same handwriting, which is Stromeyer^s, 

 placed on a male specimen, but it has no sex-mark. Under 

 the circumstances, a description of the female is here added 

 for comparison Mith that of C. errans.
