The specimen from Cambodia which Kaup identified as 0. cantori, may very 

 possibly have belonged to this species ; but his specimen from the Malay Peninsula 

 can scarcely, I think, have done so, in view of the great difference that exists 

 between the Passalid fauna of this paainsula and that of the rest of the continent 

 of Asia.

It is diSiciilt to identify with this species the specimen from the Malay Penin- 

 sula which Kaup referred to 0. cantori ; for in his description of that species he notes 

 particularly the shortness of the antennal lamellae. No other species of Ophrygonius 

 is yet, however, known from the Malay Peninsula except 0. inaequalis, which he him- 

 self recognizes as distinct.

Passalus inaequalis , Burmeister, 1847, P- 468- 



Passalus foroleius ', Smith, 1852, pp. 17-18, pi. I, fig. 4. 



' The type specimen of Ophrygonius oroleius has elytra with strongly punctured lateral grooves ; 

 but the punctures are round, rather than transversely linear as in the typical 0. inaequalis from the 

 Sunda Islands. The British Museum collection contains a series of exactly similar specimens from 

 Penang, and also two or three specimens transitional between the two forms ; so o^'oZews ought perhaps 

 to be recognized as a variety.
