 Beccarius, D'Albertisius et Bruijnii venatores 845 specimina col- 

 legerunt, ad unam et triginta species referenda, quarum duae 

 novae (Cyanalcyon slictolaema et Baccio interwiedius) a me jam 

 antea descriptae sunt; hoc insuper in elencho nova Tanysipterae 

 generis species (T. obiensis) describitur, ex eo characteribus de- 

 promptis, quod de insularum quae Obi appellantur speciminibus 

 refert Schlegelius, quae ad suam profecto propriam speciem per- 

 tinent.
