 Dr. Felder from the island of Sambelong, Nicobars. Messrs. Wood-Mason and 

 de Niceville record it from Nankowri and Katschall, and Great Nicobar Island {I.e. 

 1882, 18). Prof. R. Meldola obtained it at "Sambelong" (P.Z.S. 1877, 591). A

 sexes from Katschall, and a female from Port Blair, Andamans, the latter taken by
