26. Mecistocephalus castaneiceps, Haase. 
Op. cit., p. 102, pl. VI, fig. 109. 
A single specimen obtained by Mr. E. W. Oates on Table 
Island (Andamans). 
This is only the third record of this species. The specimen 
described by Dr. Haase was taken on Pulo Edam — an island 
off the North coast of Java — and subsequently Mr. J. J. Lister 
obtained many specimens on Christmas Island in the Indian 
Ocean ('). Thus so far as the evidence at present goes, the 
species appears to be an insular form. 
It may be recognised from the other two Burmese species 
by possessing 47 pairs of legs as opposed to 49 in punetifrons 
and 45 in sp?ssus. | 
27. Mecistocephalus spissus, Woop. 
Journ. Ac. Philad. (2), V, p. 43. 
Body stout, posteriorly attenuate. 
Colour; head and first few tergites castaneous, rest of the 
body of a dark greenish hue, legs pale yellow. 
Head plate narrowed posteriorly, furnished in its posterior 
third with two anteriorly diverging sulei, punctured and hairy. 
Basal plate also punctured. | 
Maxillary sternite excised in front and furnished with two 
small teeth; maxillary feet punctured and furnished internally 
with four teeth, one for each segment.
