500 ON TWO EUROPEAN SPECIES OF BOMBINATOR. [Nov. 16, 
under the fourth ; without gular pouches, the submaxillary (mylo- 
hyoid) muscle being undivided. Upper surfaces without or with 
very indistinct dark spots. Young with a pair of roundish light 
spots or a light transverse band between the shoulders and another 
on the middle of the body; these spots often more or less easily 
distinguishable in the adult. Lower surfaces varying from sulphur- 
yellow to orange, with irregular blackish or bluish-grey spots or 
marblings ; the yellow colour usually predominates, and the blackish 
markings may even be entirely absent. Tips of fingers and toes 
yellow. Young very pale yellow inferiorly, with bluish-grey spots. 
Hab. I have myself collected this species in Belgium, where it is 
very abundant in the province of Namur, and occurs also near 
Tournay and Liége, in France near Bordeaux, in Rhenish Prussia, 
and in the Tyrol near Salzburg, where it is found in great abun- 
dance. 1 have at present before me living specimens from near 
Frankfort on the Main, kindly given to me by Dr. Boettger. Mr. 
W. Wolterstorff writes to me from Halle that this species is, in 
Germany, restricted to more hilly districts; he obtained it at 
‘Tiefenort, near Kisenach, near Weismain and Muggendorf, between 
Bamberg and Baireuth, and round the Starberger See, near Munich. 
I have examined spirit-specimens from the following localities :— 
Hanover (Brit. Mus.), Goslar, Harz (Brit. and Berlin Mus.), Geneva 
(Brussels Mus.), Hungary (Brussels Mus.), Brostenii, Moldavia 
(Brussels Mus.), and Dalmatia (Brussels Mus.). For several speci- 
meus from San Romedio, S. Tyrol, and Marcellise, prov. Verona, 
I am indebted to the kindness of M. de Betta, and for two from 
Florence to Prof. Giglioli. 
2. Bomprinator 1GneEvs, Laur. (Plate L. fig. 2.) 
The length of the leg is less than the distance between the inner 
metatarsal tubercle and the extremity of the fourth toe. No nuptial 
excrescences on the toes. In the male, the submaxillary muscle is 
divided into an anterior and a posterior portion, with a pouch on 
each side between the two ; this vocal pouch does not communicate 
with the mouth through any opening, but the skin of the floor of 
the mouth is loose and plicate, aud capable of distention during the 
inflation of the sides of the throat. Greyish or olive above, with 
distinct symmetrical blackish or bottle-green spots ; sometimes the 
whole or part of the upper surfaces washed with green; usually a 
pair of pale green roundish spots between the shoulders. Lower 
surfaces bluish black with white dots and briglit orange or vermilion 
insular spots ; tips of fingers and toes black. Young coloured like 
the adult. 
Hab. This species is common near Berlin, whence I obtained 
numerous specimens during a recent stay in that city. I also got it 
at Dresden, and I received some years ago specimens from Brostenii, 
Moldavia, together with B. dombinus ; these specimens are in the 
Brussels Museum, where I have recently compared them with the 
Berlin examples. Dr. Boettger received it from near Bitterfeld.
