M. hasselti (Tschudi). 
The genus has been admirably reviewed by Boulenger ; he 
has included figures of six species. The species of the genus 
are confined to southeastern Asia, the Malayan Archipelago, and 
the Philippines. Whether three or four species should be in- 
cluded in the Philippine fauna is still a question. Before this can 
be considered settled, a reexamination of Philippine specimens 
in European museums referred to M. montana will be necessary. 
I include that species as doubtfully belonging to our fauna.
