Show 1900.] FROM SINGAPORE AND MALACCA. 763 on the females ; but only a few small spots on the meri. In one the males tbe spots on the carapace are arranged in pairs, or even in groups of three, giving it a more densely spotted appearance. I may add that I should describe the rostrum, in these individuals, as being distinctly emarginate (vide Alcock, t. c, " rostrum entire or faintly emarginate " ; and Miers, t, c, " front obtuse and rounded or obscurely emarginate " ) , the emargination taking the form of a wide, triangular notch, quite as distinct as in M. lunar is. Otherwise they entirely agree with Mr. Alcock's description. Dim. d 35x34. d 32x30-5. d 31-75x31. d 29x28-75. d 25-5x24-25. $22x21-25. $21-5x20-5. 100. MATUTA LUNARIS Herbst. ?
