155b. Macrogomphus albardae Selys. -

Eastcoast Gvt.: Deli. Bindjei ( Karsch); Soekaranda ( Kruger); Deli ( Ris); Deli. Medan ( Lieftinck). Palembang Res.: Lahat. ♀ ( Selys) and 1 ♂. 1874. Giesbers leg. (Mus. Amsterdam ). - I have examined the holotype ♂ from Banka (not Palembang. Sumatra. as stated by de Selys). and Selys' allotypeQ from Lahat. in Palembang; both specimens are in the Mus. Amsterdam. In the same collection is a ♂, also from Lahat, determined by Albarda as parallelogramma. I am unable to distinguish this male from Javan specimens in my collection. which do 'not differ in the shape of their anal appendages. I am deliberately of opinion that albardae is the same species as parallelogramma. and that the differences ly within the range of individual variation.
