A new Lucanoid beetle from Java

In a consignment of beetles, lately received from Mr. J. D. Pasteur and brought together by himself in Western Java (Mt.

A more careful examination of this specimen showed me clearly that it had nothing to do with Cl. giraffa but that it was a very close ally of the interesting Prosopocoelus decipiens Parry ¹) from Malabar. The Javanese species is certainly undescribed and I propose to call it after its discoverer:
