XV.—On the Anatomy of a Collection of Slugs from N.W. Borneo; with a List of the Species recorded from that Region
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 July 2012
Extract
In the early part of 1900 I received from J. H. Ponsonby, Esq., a small collection of land molluses from N.W. Borneo, with a request that I would investigate and report upon the same. This collection, the property of the Sarawak Museum, proved, on examination, to contain examples of two new genera (Wiegmannia and Isselentia) of great interest. In the case of the former genus there were only two specimens, each belonging to a different species; and as more material was very desirable, Mr Ponsonby very kindly invited the authorities of the Museum to send over, if possible, a further collection. This, in due course, arrived, but contained duplicates of Isselentia only, the remaining specimens being all new species, excepting one, which proved to be the Damayantia dilecta of Issel, which, I believe, has not previously been found since described in 1874.
