Additional localities. — Philippine Islands (Miss Ludlow) ;

 Crawford) ; New Guinea at Leleo, Berlinhafen, Stephansort, 

 Astrolabe Bay, Muina (Biro) ; Ins. Deslacs and Ins. Graget

Notes. — This proves to be a very abundant species in Malay,, 

 and breeds in bamboos. It occurs in houses as well as a 

 wild species. 



Dr. Barker, P.M.O., writes me that it is abundant out of

 not go to houses at night, and not much during the daytime..
