from a sinf>le male example from the north coast of Dutch 

 New Guinea, is again recorded by the same authors from the 

 Upper Setakwa Eiver and Utakwa River, 2000-o000 ft., 

 and aoain from male specimens only. Dr. van Oort also 

 records a male from the Noord River, identified by 

 Dr. Hartert, under the same name. 



The male of E. meyeri Salvad., from which E. m. sharpei 

 seems to differ chiefly in its smaller size, is practically 

 indistinguishable from the male of E. plumhea, though the 

 females of the two species are very different. Of the latter 

 species, E. plumhea, I have received a series including 

 specimens from the Utakwa and Setakwa Rivers, together 

 with females, and it seems probable that the specimens 

 named E. m. sharpei from Southern New Guinea should really 

 have been referred by Dr. van Oort and Messrs. Rothschild 

 and Hartert to E. plumbea (cf. p. 122).
