- Also reported from Borneo, the Malay Peninsula (Pahang), and the Riouw Archipelago (not " Kiour" as stated by
Selys
). My specimens were taken along a very small muddy brook, flowing through secondary forest, near the coast; the ♀ was also seen, but I failed to capture any. It is a robust insect. differing in some respects from a small series in my collection from W. Borneo. which are, I think. racially distinct from Sumatran specimens, More material of the type locality ("Malacca"?) is needed to ascertain the validity of subspecies, The Lampoeng series will be described at some other place.
