The specimens in the O.U.M. all came from Java too.

This species show^s a remarkable variation both in size and colouring, 

 especially amoungst the $Ç. A series of about 50 specimens in the O.U.M. 

 shows that the $$ vary from 26.5 to 45 mm. in total length, the c^cT from 

 33 to 41 mm. The ÇÇ which are always much more convex than the (ƒ(ƒ, 

 may be ashy grey, amber-coloured, or testaceous, with or without dark 

 brown or black spots and vermiculations, whilst amoungst the c/d^ amber 

 colour predominates. The smallest Ç in the O.U.M., 26.5 mm. in total 

 length, came from Pengalengan, W. Java, 4000' (1893). 



This is a common Malayan species, having been recorded from the 

 Malay Peninsula, Singapore, Sumatra & Borneo, and there is a long series 

 from Kalim Bungo, M. Nias, (R. Mitschke, 1896) in the O.U.M. — A single 

 specimen, Ç, taken by Meade Waldo in Colombo, in 1908, would almost 

 seem to have been an accidental importation.

The O.U.M. has 1 cT & 2 4+ from Pontianak, Dutch Borneo (Andre) ; 2 $^ 

 from Kalim Bungo, M. Nias (Mitschke, 1896); 1 9 from Balabac, off Borneo (Stau- 

 dinger & Bang-Haas, 1908); 1 2 from Fort de Koek, Sumatra (A. de Bormans). 



Having originally been described from Java only, Borneo & Sumatra 

 are therefore new records. The species varies considerably in size, as the 

 following table shows:
