Bat. 1 (1850) 2: 128. /. 15. 
Luzon, Province of Bengiiet, Sablan (0054 Elmer) Ajiril, 1004. 
This species is here first credited to the Philippines, and is apparently rare, 
as Mr. Elmer found but three indi\'idiials, and no other collector has as yet 
detected it in the Philippines. It was previoiisl}' known from .lava and Sumatra. 
The Philijipine specimens are evidently referable to Bhime’s species, rather than 
to the more widely distributed Salomonia (iphi/lla Grill'., which e.xteiids from 
China to Borneo, Malacca and Tenasserim.
