hill ranges of Yunnan and the southern Chinese frontier. Unless there has been some 

 mistake about the locality record, therefore, ^. chinensis must provisionally be regarded 

 a distinct race. 



Kuwert's hirsutus and ceylonicus are undoubtedly the same, as Zang has already 

 suggested (19050, p, 104). Specimens of this northern race with the process of the 

 left anterior angle of the head fully developed, and directed forwards or a little 

 outwards, are not common; but they do occur in the series before me, and they are 

 not sharply separated from others in which the process is directed inwards ; so I am 

 unable to recognize them even as a definite variety.

 Kuwert's Ceylon record is hardly credible, as Zang has already pointed out 

 (1905a, p. 104). The genus Aceraius seems to occur neither in Ceylon nor in the 

 Indian Peninsula. 



2. A. GRANDIS, Burmeister, s. str.' 

 Malay Peninsula. 

 Bintang Island. 

 Sumatra : Deli. 



Java : Tengger Mountain, Bankalan. 

 Borneo : Bandjermasin ; N. Borneo. 



Kuwert records A. prostemisulcatus {=A. grandis, s. str.) from the Moluccas; but 

 as the Aceraiinae seem to be strictly an Oriental subfamily it is probable that 

 this record is based on a misreading of the word Malacca.
