BurchelPs 1033 attached in his notebook to the date 



11. 1. 26 evidently refers to the habits, stated under no. 449 



to be the same as those of 437.

Tiie data correspond to those given by Westwood, but tlie 

 species was placed as no. 20* of his Catalogue of Nym- 

 phalinfie.

IV. — Notes on the Forficularia. — X. A Revision of the 

 Nesogastrinse. By Malcolm Burr, B.A., F.L.S., F.E.S. 



This subfamily is characterized by the slender tarsi, with 

 short third segment, by the antennse as in the genus Labia, 

 but the segments never cylindrical, by the strongly and 

 sharply carinate elytra, and by the thickened femora. 



The colour is usually some shade of deep chestnut or wine- 

 colour, varied with red or with yellow. 



The wings and elytra are sometimes abbreviated and 

 abortive, sometimes perfectly developed^ the two forms 

 occurring often in the species. 



The group is confined to the Malay Archipelago, New 

 Guinea, and Australasia. 



I cannot think why Verhoeff placed this group among the 

 Forficulidaj, with which I can find no affinities. In the 

 structure of tlie tarsi and of the antennte they more nearly 

 approach Labia, in which genus the known species have been 

 hitherto included.
