Mr. R. Oberthür a bien voulu me communiquer les espèces du groupe des Oxyopisthen que renferme sa riche collection; je donne ici le résultat de leur étude et de leur comparaison avec les espèces de la collection de Mr. Neervoort van de Poll, et du Musée civique de Gênes; le conservateur de ce Musée, le Dr. Gestro, ayant bien voulu me communiquer, avec sa bienveillance habituelle ce que son Musée possède de ces insectes.

Observations sur les caractères sexuels du genre Poteriophorus Schh., et description d’une espèce nouvelle

Ano: 1893

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/509045

Schoenherr, créateur du genre Poteriophorus, et les auteurs qui en ont parlé après lui, entre-autres Lacordaire, dans son Genera des Coléoptères, VII, p. 290, ont considéré les individus à rostre court, robuste, fortement arqué, et gibbeux à sa base comme des mâles, ceux à rostre plus long, moins robuste et garni de poils ou de tubercules barbus (vittatus) en-dessous, comme des femelles. Guidé, par l’examen des deux sexes dans la genre Iphthimorhinus mihi, où le mâle possède un rostre de grosseur assez égale dans son parcours et muni de poils en dessous, la femelle un rostre gibbeux et sans poils, j’avais invité mon collègue Mr. van de Poll d’examiner anatomiquement le P. niveus Klug, de sa collection; or, son examen a démontré que les auteurs se sont...

Notice sur la Noctua (Apatela?) radians, Westw

Ano: 1893

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/509032

Snellen, P.C.T..

Sous le nom susdit, feu le Prof. Westwood a décrit et figuré dans son ouvrage intitulé » Cabinet of Oriental Entomology” (p. 58, pl. 28, fig. 4), un Lépidoptère Hétérocère d’un aspect un peu insolite. A la première vue, on croirait avoir affaire à un Cosside du voisinage du genre Zeuzera Latr., auquel la forme allongée de ses ailes antérieures à sommet arrondi fait en effet penser. Je présume que ce facies étrange a empêché Guenée de le comprendre parmi les Noctuélites dans son grand ouvrage sur cette famille. Pourtant, l’espèce se classe indubitablement parmi les Noctuelles, et Mr. Westwood avait bien vu quand il considérait son espèce comme telle, quoique le nom générique d ’Apatela Stephens, qui correspond au genre Acronycta Ochs., Guenée et Lederer, me...

Five new species of the genus Helota from Sikkim and Darjeeling

Ano: 1893

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/509416

This handsome species is closely allied to Helota curvipes Oberth. ¹) from the Himalaya, but at once distinguished by its more robust shape, by the coppery colour of the upper surface, by the broad fulvous streaks on the sides of the pronotum, and by the broadly subtruncate apices of the elytra in the male sex. Length 10 mm. — Shining; above coppery with shades of green; the scutellum brassy, the extreme lateral margins of the elytra bronze green; the antennae pale testaceous, the terminal joint of the club infuscate; the sides of the pronotum broadly margined with fulvous, which colour is not sharply separated from the dark metallic colour of the disk; the elytra provided with two pairs of yellow convex spots, the anterior pair placed between the 4th and...

Notes on the Rails of the Leyden Museum

Sharpe, R. Bowdler.

During my visit to Leyden in April of the present year, I had the pleasure of examining carefully the collection of Rallidae as it had been arranged by the late Professor Schlegel in the year 1865 (cf. Cat. Mus. Pays-Bas, Vol. V, pp. 1—79). The following notes, which form a small commentary on Schlegel’s Catalogue, may be of some use to future workers on the Rallidae.

They build their nests, of straw and feathers, on the beams about houses, and in empty bottles and drain-pipes which are hung up under the verandah-roof for their special use. They lay four eggs.

Neue und bekannte Süd-Asiatische Dipteren

Ano: 1893

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/509226

Meijere, J.C.H. de.

Die süd-asiatische Dipterenfauna harrt noch immer der eingehenden Durchforschung. Was uns aus diesem Gebiete erreicht, beschränkt sich einstweilen auf kleine Sendungen oder sogar auf einzelne, zwischen anderen Insekten versteckte Exemplare. Wenig ist jedoch immer besser als nichts, und so habe ich mich entschlossen, auch ein Steinchen zum Gebäude beizutragen und das betreffende, mir zu Gebote stehende Material zu untersuchen. Es besteht dies aus mehreren, in der Sammlung der kgl. zoolog. Gesellschaft Natura Artis Magistra in Amsterdam, in derjenigen des Reichsmuseums zu Leyden l) und in meiner Privatsammlung befindlichen Stücken. Ein Theil fand sich im Nachlass des Herrn van der Wulp; unter diesen waren besonders auch diejenigen von Bedeutung, welche ihm...

On a collection of Bats from the West-Indies

Ano: 1893

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504550

Jentink, F.A..

The collection of Bats hereafter described has been presented to the Leyden Museum by our well known correspondent Dr. C. G. Young from Berbice, New Amsterdam, British Guyana. This collection tells us that, although our knowledge about the Bats may have increased during the latest years, much remains to be done before we can pretend to know exactly these most interesting creatures: especially the study of the South-American Bats is very difficult by lack of sufficient material. Therefore every addition may be called welcome.

The amphipoda collected during the voyages of the Willem Barents in the Arctic Seas in the years 1880—1884

Ano: 1893

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/508525

Stebbing, Thomas R.R..

The arctic amphipoda collected by the Willem Barents’ expeditions of 1878 and 1879 were described by Dr. P. P. C. Hoek. The same eminent carcinologist had already carried out the preliminary sorting of the present collection, when, upon appointment to his important post at Helder, he found that the time requisite for describing it was no longer at his command. Under these circumstances at his suggestion Professor Max Weber did me the honour of asking for my services, and the following paper is the result. Of the sixty species here recorded the majority are already well known. They include a very large number of the most striking forms among the Gammaridea. The specific names in the list are due to a score of authors, concerning whom, as writers on...

Büttikofer, J..

Amongst a number of very valuable birds from the East-Indian Archipelago, lately presented to the Leyden Museum by Dr. A. G. Vorderman, I found a specimen which proofs to belong to a new species of Cryptolopha and which I propose to name after its discoverer, the meritorious ornithologist of the Malay Archipelago:

A new Helota from West-Java

Ano: 1893

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/508673

Allied to Helota Feae Rits. from Burma and Vandepolli Rits. from Borneo, but differing from both in the pale colour of the antennae, in the more prolonged apices of the elytra and in the larger size of the yellow elytral spots. From Feae it is moreover at once distinguished by the want of the reddish testaceous lateral streaks on the pronotum and by the regularly rounded apical ventral segment. From Vandepolli it differs by the flavous lateral streaks of the prosternum and by the flavous basal half of the claw-joint of the tarsi Length 14,5 mm. — Shining; rather narrow, elongate, narrowed in front and behind; dark bronze above, here and there with a strong violet gloss; the antennae and the extreme anterior angles of the pronotum testaceous; the four...

On two new species of Pachycephala from South Celebes

Ano: 1893

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/508449

Büttikofer, J..

While looking through the species of the genus Pachycephala in the Leyden Museum, I met with two species which will prove to be new to science. They were collected in 1878, in the district of Macassar, South Celebes, by the well-known Dutch Naturalist Teysmann, and they will form the second and third species hitherto with certainty stated from Celebes, the first being P. sulfureiventer (Walden) from North Celebes.

Description du male de l’Iphthimorhinus australasiae, Roel

Ano: 1893

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/508985

Dans la collection R. Oberthür se trouvent deux individus (♂ et ♀), de cette espèce, dont je ne connaissais que la femelle lors de ma description de l’insecte ¹). Le mâle diffère assez notablement de l’autre sexe, surtout par la construction du rostre, qui est un peu plus long et n’a pas la forme gibbeuse de celui de la ♀, sa grosseur est plus égale de la base à l’extrémité et présente en dessous un double rang de poils bruns, moins raides que chez certaines espèces du genre Poteriophorus ; les antennes sont un peu plus distantes de la base, la ligne imprimée sur le devant du rostre est plus forte, il est vaguement ponctué sur les côtés. Le prosternum est enflé devant les hanches antérieures, et vaguement ponctué, le métasternum est largement concave ainsi...

On a new species of the genus Testudo

Ano: 1893

Lidth de Jeude, Th.W. van.

On arranging the tortoises of the genus Testudo in the collections of the Leyden Museum I met with a mounted specimen, collected at the Cape of Good Hope by the late Kuhl and van Hasselt, which though having much in common with Testudo geometrica L., yet in other points differs from that species and shows more resemblance with Testudo elegans Schoepf. In the absence of the nuchal shield as well as in the peculiar form of its gular shields our specimen differs from the South-African species of the genus Testudo allied to Testudo geometrica ¹) and must be regarded as to belong to a new species: Testudo Strauchi nov. spec. Carapace very convex, the dorsal shields, especially the third one, swollen and subconical, lateral marginals nearly vertical not forming...

Description of a new species of the Cetonid genus Thaumastopeus, Kraatz

Ano: 1893

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/509152

Length (from the anterior margin of the prothorax down to the end of the suture) 33 mm.; breadth at the shoulders 18 mm. — Subshining above, more strongly shining beneath. Entirely black, without distinct metallic hue, the club of the antennae pitchy, the prominent tufts of hairs on the parts of the mouth ferruginous. The head glossy and impunctate on the vertex; between the eyes and along the middle of the face rather small punctures are present, whereas large punctures occur on the sides of the face below the eyes; on the impressed portion of the lobes of the clypeus no distinct punctures are visible, but on the margins a very fine punctuation is to be observed.

Sluiter, C.Ph..

Die Asteriden Sammlung, welche jetzt in den Räumen des Museums der Kön. Zoologischen Gesellschaft »Natura Artis Magistra” aufgestellt ist, besteht erstens aus der alten Sammlung der eben genannten Gesellschaft, hauptsächlich tropisch Aziatische und Amerikanische Formen enthaltend, zweitens aus den von Bleeker und später von mir im Indischen Archipel gesammelten Tieren, drittens aus der früheren Universitäts Sammlung, und viertens aus dem an Individuen wenigstens, sehr reichen Material der letzten vier Niederländischen Expeditionen nach dem Nördlichen Eismeer, und zwar nach der Barents See und Kara See. Obgleich es kaum zu erwarten war, dass sich bei der Bearbeitung dieser Sammlung viel Neues herausstellen würde, so stiess ich doch auf mehrere neue...
