Amhliistomits indtcus Nietner ( 1 858 ) . — Mr. A. M. Lea sent me speoimens 

 ticketed Dalby, Queeusland, which agree so well with Nietner's description ot ^1. 

 {Megaristerus) indicus that I am compelled to regard it as that species. Mr. 

 H. E. Andrewes has sent me an Indian specimen under the name of Amblystomus 

 guttatus Bates (1873) which is conspecific with the Queensland species. — Aus- 

 tralia, Asia, Ceylon. 



Aiiiblij^toiiiHfi steiiulopliuides Xietner (1858). — Mr. F. P. Doild sent me a 

 species from Kuranda Queensland, which agrees so well with Nietner's descriptior 

 of A. (Megaristenis) steiiolopJioides Niet., that I identity it as that species.- - 

 Australia, Ceylon. 



Stenolojjhus smaragdulus Fabricius (1798). — Mr. H. E. Andrewes has re- 

 cently published the synonymy of this species (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1919, pp. 

 178,189). He reported the 5-spotted form, S. qui )i que- past iilatus Wied.. as occur- 

 ring in Queensland; it has been sent to me from Kuranda by Mr. F. P. Dodd. — 

 Australia, Malay Archipelago, Asia. 



Stenolophus dingo Castelnau (18G8) {_= S. robiKttis SI. 1907]. — When I 

 described S. rohustus I believed .s'. dingo to be conspecific with ,S'. (Acupalpui) 

 picens Guer., but, Ijaving since received what I now consider to be the true 

 iS'. dingo from N. Queensland, I beliexe my species to be the same as Castelnau's. 

 The description of <S'. (Amphibia) pallipes Perroud (1860), is useless, but I 

 believe it to be the same as S. dingo; the name .S'. pallipes was already in use 

 in 1860. so Fauvel in 1882 proposed S. grandieeps to replace it, but, if I am right 

 in my surmise as to its identity with S. dingo, this name was not re(|uired. — 

 Australia. New Guinea, Java, (?) New Caledonia. 



Bembidium iipnlentum Nietner (1858) [^ B. enrops Bates 188() = B. river- 

 inae Sloane 1894] — Mr. H. E. Andrewes has published the opinion that B. 

 opulentum Niet. is the same thing as B. europs Bates (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 1919, 

 p. 472) ; I believe there is no doubt but that he is right in this. He sent me a 

 specimen of B. europs which showed me that my B. riverinae was the same species. 

 From Fauvel's treatment of his B. hamiferum (1882) in his Faune Analytic|ae des 

 Coleopteres de la Nouvelle-Caledonie (1903). it would appear as if it would nl.so 

 prove iohe B. opulentum. — Australia (widely distributed), Sumbawa, .Java. Ceylim. 

 Southern Asia. 



Tacln/s triangularis Nietner (1858). — Australia, New Caledonia, ^lalay Archi- 

 pelago. Asia, Africa. 



Limnastis pilosus Bates (1892) [= Tachgs setiger Sloane. 1903].— After 

 seeing specimens from Borneo. I liave no hesitation in placing ray Tachgs s.etigrr 

 as a synonym of L. pilosus Bates. — Australia, Borneo, Burma. 



Coelostomus picipes Macleay W.S. (1825). — Mr. H. E. Andrewes has gone 

 very fully into the synonymy of this species;* it has been reported as having 

 been found at Mount Ernest, Queensland, by d'Albertis (teste Chaudoir, under 

 name of Stomonaxus striaticoUis Dej.. Col. Nov., 1, 1883. \>. 39). — Australia. .lava, 

 S.E. Asia. 



Morio longipennis Putzeys (1875). — Australia. New Guinea. 



Catadromus tenebrioides Olivier (1790) [=-■ C. elseyi White (1859)]. — I 

 have specimens from Australia and .Tava, but cannot differentiate them as sep- 

 arate species. — Australia, .Tava, Amboyna. 



Chlaenioidius prolixus Erichson (1842). — Australia, New Caledonia.
