Contributions to the knowledge of the family Brenthidæ

Enumeration of the species known as yet from Java. In the following paper I intend to give descriptions of several new species, which Mr. Ritsema, very kindly, sent to me for examination and description, from the collections of the Leyden Museum. These species ²) have been for the greater part presented by Mr. J. D. Pasteur and, though few in number, they are of great interest and add considerably to our knowledge of the Brenthid-fauna of western Java where they were collected. At the same time I shall add the names of those species already described but not yet known as living in Java, and finally the names of the species indicated by authors from this island, so as to bring at once under the eye all that is at present known about Javanese Brenthidse.
