RHYNCHODEMIDAE 
2. Rhynchodemus nematoides, Loman 
Two specimens from the same locality. A common and widely-spread 
species ; it has also been recorded from Java and Ceylon. 
‘ One of these specimens was taken on a banana leaf growing at the 
edge of a small jungle clearing ; the other was gliding on the shady side of a 
tree-trunk in thick jungle. The latter individual moved up to a colony of 
Psocidae (Neuroptera) that, as a whole, closely resembled a foliaceous lichen, 
wound its body partially round one of the insects, protruded its pharynx 
over the body of its victim (which, apparently, made no attempt to escape), 
and commenced to devour it. 
‘ Rhynchodemus nematoides^ or a species resembling it in its comparatively 
sober grey coloration and slender shape, became more abundant than any other 
at Kampong Jalor during the rains in November, gliding in the early morning 
on the leaves of bushes surrounding the village ; I probably observed about 
half-a-dozen specimens in the course of a fortnight.’

I, 2. Miiller, in an interesting account of these species, has given the localities in inverted order, doubtless owing 
to a displacement of the labels. The specimens described by him were collected by myself at the localities given 
above (Muller in Zeinchr.f. ivtss. ZooL LXXIII, pp. 81-85, Taf. IV, figs. 4, 4A, 5, 5 a).
