Cautires vagans ( Waterhouse, 1879) , new combination

Metriorhynchus vagans Waterhouse, 1879: 54 .

Material examined. – Female, holotype ( BMNH), “S R, 58.60*” without further data, type locality Sumatra according to the original description .

Remarks. – All the species listed above are transferred to the genus Cautires on the basis of external morphology and genitalia. I have not had an opportunity to study the type material of several additional species described by Gorham (1882) in the genus Metriorrhynchus from Sumatra: M. amoenus Gorham, 1882 ; M. cinnabarinus Gorham, 1882 ; M. infuscatus Gorham, 1882 ; M. luteus Gorham, 1882 ; and M. purpurascens Gorham, 1882 . According to the descriptions, they should all belong to the genus Cautires , but I have chosen to keep them provisionally in Metriorrhynchus until the types are available for study.
