IN SUMATBA. 277 



New Ehtnchota. By W. L. Distant, F.L.S. 



(From the Ento. Month. Mag. xix. pp. 156-160.) 



•The following descriptions refer to species which I have received 

 during the last few years iu collectious made by Mr. Forbes. Our 

 present information as to the liliynchota of Sumatra is greatly due to 

 Snellen van Vollenhoven, whose studies, however, did i ot extend to the 

 Coreidn' of this island ; to Ellenrieder, who alone treated of the P.entato- 

 Tnidsi ; to various descriptions by the late Dr. Stal ; and the same, in a 

 much loss satisfactory sense, of the late Mr. Walker. It will be thus seen 

 that at present our catalogues and collections of Sumatran lihynclwta are 

 of the most meagre and superficial character though we may rea.'onably 

 hope that this comparative ignorance will soon be greatly modified by the 

 publication of the natural history section of the late Dutch Fxpedition 

 into Central Sumatra. [Tliis work has now been completed, and contains 

 descriptions of many .species new to science. H. 0. F.]
