Unfortunately, in this series of over 40 specimens there is not a single male, so that 
determination is very difficult ; nearly all the specimens have much more the appearance 
of a typical X. perforans Woll. (=kraatz Hichh.) than of X. affinis Eichh., which latter, 
Prof. Kolbe (/.c.) states to have been taken in Mahé. 
Loc. Seychelles. Silhouette, VITI.—IX. 1908: near Mont Pot-i-eau, ca. 1500 feet; 
Mare aux Cochons and the forest above, up to the highest parts; also some specimens from 
low cultivated country near Pointe Etienne. Mahé: high forest between Trois Fréres and 
Morne Seychellois, 1500—2000 feet, XII. 1908 ; Cascade Estate, ca. 1000 feet; Anonyme 
Island, I. 1909. Praslin: Cotes d’Or Estate, XI. 1908. X. kraatzi has been previously 
recorded from Mahé and La Digue, 1892 (Alluaud). 
In the Seychelles this species was taken in many localities and at various elevations. 
Tt is very widely distributed. In my collection there is a single specimen that I took in 
Old Calabar, S. Nigeria, some years ago.
