Herr J. Rober admits that these two forms, which scarcely 

 differ, certainly fly togeth.er ; " whereby the independence of 

 both forms is evidenced," he says. I should have thought the 

 i^ict clearly proved their specific identity. Herr Friihstorfer 

 thinks that our examples are not true C. javanus, and that the 

 latter is a synonym of O. Moorei ; he, however, writes from 

 memory, but the two species are certainly very nearly related.

Kheil's figure certainly appears to me to be a good represen- 

 tation of this species, and therefore I follow Mr. Distant in 

 placing it as a synonym.
