This species was first described by Castelnau in 1840. He described the largest 
male form, and gave a very inaccurate, but recognizable figure, with which the 
engraver appears to have taken great liberties. Everything is represented too angular, 
the head is badly drawn, and the front tibiee are entirely incorrect. The same may be 
said of the figure of the female, which Castelnau described on the same page under 
the name of Zuwcanus ursus. The prothorax is very badly drawn, and does not at all 
agree with the description, “cétés du corselet un peu sinueux avec une petite dent.” 
The front tibize are inaccurately drawn, and the spines on the outside are entirely 
absent. Five years later Hope euriched science with two new species—ZLucanus 
vishnu and L. serrifer, the types of which are now at Oxford, but which, as Parry 
rightly determined, are simply the amphiodont and priodont forms of the present 
species from Java. This species also is frequently named 0. carinatus, Linné, in 
collections. The female stood in the British Museum with OQ. siva, so that I had 
the drawing made from a specimen, on the locality of which I could depend, in 
Mr. Distant’s collection. 1 subsequently found a series of specimens in the Leyden 
Museum collected by Heckmeyer and Reinwald in Ardjoeno. They are very similar 
to the females of O. siva and 0. alces, and can scarcely be distinguished from them. 
6. ODONTOLABIS CELEBENSIS (Lansb.), sp. n. (Plate LXXXYVILI. figs. 6-8, ¢ .) 
Male. Similar to the preceding species, but constantly smaller in all its forms ; 
elytra pitchy black, very shining; mandibles, head, and prothorax dull, except in
