 Kuwert's record of " Basilianus inaequalis ' ' from Malacca doubtless refers to the 

 true inaequalis , and not to the species which he described under that name from speci- 

 mens which clearly must have come from Dindigal. The localities given for the types 

 of Laches infantilis and puevilis, Kaup — ^^Vanicoro and iVru^can hardly be correct. 



Genus OPHRYGONIUS, Zang, 1904. 

 Inch Basilianus [part] Kaup, 1871.^ 

 This genus probably occurs throughout the Oriental Region east of the mouths 

 of the Ganges and Brahmaputra, but it has not yet been recorded with certainty from 

 the Philippines. It is not known from the Andamans or Nicobars.

Kaup records this species from Malabar, Malacca, and Cambodia, and as 

 it has otherwise never been recorded from any locality outside the E. Himalayas, 

 Assam and Burma the probability is very strong that he has confused several species 

 under one name. 0. convexifrons (Zang) at present seems to be a distinct local race, 

 although it differs from the typical form of 0. canton in size only; the convexity of 

 the frontal area, by which Zang distinguishes it, is a variable character found in 

 some specimens of both forms,
