had the one from the ‘Malay i^eiiinsula alive for several weeks, 
and was able to watch the Kina Balu one for several nights, as 
much of the material brought in had to be rejected and the larvt© 
were crawling about near our camp. 
A tabular statement of the chief points of difl'erence may be

Note : ‘B’ and SS’ refers to the largest specimens obtain-

On Kina Balu, 4200', I also found two specimens of another 
form which bore some superficial resemblance to the larvte describ- 
ed above, but which I now consider to be adult females of some 
beetle, as they are luminous. Dr. Sharp (Cambridge Natural 
History, Vol. VI, p. 251) refers to a paper by Haase (Deutsche
