 Wliou that account was writtoii only thi* Intliati and Hiirnioso ^t'nt'nt and spwion were 

 adequately represented in the Indian Miiseuni rollectinn. liefore it was ptddished I was 

 able to revise to M)n>c extent, in the light of a hurried study of the collections in London. 

 Berlin and Hamburg, my ideas regarding the forms from further east ; hut the 

 arrangement of the.se forms there suggested is. 1 believe, capable of considerabe 

 improvement, as indicated in the jjresent paper. 



The symmetrical genus Mnrmlinus has hni' been placed ne.xt to the genu.s 

 Plnirarius, which .seetns to replace it in the Indian I'eninxda, i.e., Itefore, instead of 

 after, all Oriental genera contidning asymmetrical species. 



Kuwert's llt'i-nH-hilus irnllnrri has been removed from the genus Aceraiua to thegenu.H 

 Op/irf/ijnniun. where it has been put next to O. hirwanicu-s and (>. si ngajvirnr, which it 

 re.nembles much more clo.sely than it does any species of Arrrniii.s. To permit of this 

 change the genera Ofi/iri/fjonius and Arrmius have been redefined, greater importance 

 being attache«l to the «haracter of the mandibles than to that of the elytra : with the result 

 that AceraniM tninor and aequidens of my previous paper have also to be transferred to 

 (hphnjgoniutt. The remaining species of Aceraius can then be arranged in a single series 

 leading up from forms allie«l to minor and aequidrn.s to tjmndis and orrulidrns. which 

 appear to be the most highly spet-ialized members of the genus. 



Pnrapelojiiden. Tra^tezorhHux, (inaphnloctietnis. Prlnpidr.s^ and PleMhrnui^ are entirely 

 Oriental or Celebean. They re.semble the Oriental forin.s dealt with above in that.
